Gabriel




Gabriel turned 9 on March 31st. I can't believe how big he is getting. I wanted to take a minute to sing his praises. You guys know me and the struggle I have with this kid but he couldn't be any sweeter. I wish I could bottle up his energy (I think I could supply my entire neighborhood with it.) I have never known someone more considerate of others. If you pay him a compliment he will ALWAYS have something nice to say in return. I tell him he is the best 9 year old I know (even if I don't mean it) and without fail he will tell me I'm the best mom. If I ever say something negative about myself like my hair looks like crap he will say, "I think it looks good, Mom." He is also so much fun to give gifts to because he is so grateful for anything he is given. No matter what it is he thinks it is the best gift ever. He is also a good example to our family because he is so quick to say "I'm sorry."








These are pictures of his various birthday parties!!!

Lu-Lu, I didn't make the cake but thank you for having enough faith in me to think that it was possible.

Hapy Birthday Gabe!! I don't get to spend much time with your kids anymore, but there great everytime I do see them! Gabe has always cracked me up. My favorite babysitting story involves him and a green marker... :)
