Gabriel's 2nd Birthday

Wow!! I cannot believe that Gabe is two years old. It seems that time really does fly when you have a child. Gabe has brought so much laughter and fun into our lives I cannot imagine being without him. He is such a blessing to have and I never know what to expect from him each and every day. I don't know how I will love another baby as much as I love him.
We had a Sesame Street celebration for our little man at my parents' house. All of his friends were able to come and they had a blast! From climbing in and out the doggie door to trying to take Gabe's new presents that they liked, the little party goers were more than we could handle! Gabe certainly had a great time altough he was a bit apprehansive about blowing the candles out. But he ripped into his presents like a pro and loved all of them. By the time it was all over, every single adult there was exhausted! This birthday was much more fun than last year's. Now that Gabe understands more, he definitely knows what to do!! I cannot wait to see what the next year brings and how Gabe reacts to the new baby in October.

Spring Is Here!

This time of year is extremely enjoyable on the Gulf Coast. The warm sunny days and cool nights almost make up for the sweltering summer heat that is soon to come! This past week my Mom's group had its' first Easter Party. We dressed up ourselves and our children for some family photos and everyone looked wonderful. We then ate all the delicious food everyone provided and soaked up the afternoon sun. After eating, we hid a TON of eggs and let the kids go wild on the hunt. Gabriel decided to open each individual egg that he found and eat the treat, which most of the other kids did too. After the hunt we posed for a great group shot and decided to call it a day. Most of the children were ready for naps and so were some Moms! It truly was a great day and I am so glad to have all of these friends!
