" Rory and I aren&amp;#039;t perfect\u2014far from it\u2014but between the two of us, there are a bunch of good qualities. (In my humble opinion.) Here are the good qualities I hope Emmett inherited from me: + love of reading + dedication to volunteer work (although I&amp;#039;ve been slacking on this post-baby!) + love of rescue animals + love of chocolate (I don&amp;#039;t trust people who don&amp;#039;t like chocolate.) + persistence* (I wouldn&amp;#039;t have handmade the 2,000-plus paper flowers for our wedding, biked more than 1,000 miles for AIDS charities, or be training for my second marathon if I were a quitter!) And here&amp;#039;s what I hope he gets from Rory: + patience (necessary for dealing with, um, me) + athletic ability + love of cooking + artistic ability + love of music + general kindness (Rory really is the nicest guy) What do you hope to pass on to your kids? * Rory would call this, &amp;quot;stubbornness.&amp;quot; Whatever! I get the job done! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
