Oh, So Fast
Gabby left an era behind her today that none of us get to repeat. She will never be one again. I have to admit, over the last two years and nine months, this little lady has completely changed everything about me. For the better of course. I’m sure my parents are glad…payback and all.
Looking around I notice that alot of my closest friends are going through the same thing. I wonder about how to teach her to do right and treat people like she should. I thought about it a long time. Then I realized. I don’t want her to be just like me. I don’t want her to be just like her mom. Understanding that I am the product of how other people close to me have treated me throughout my life, I can only hope she meets people as special to her that I met for myself. Because really, I am little pieces of all of you. I look up to each of you and that makes me who I am. Yeah, when your little you throw those words around a good bit, but the words friends and family truly find their meaning when you think about how to raise your own little person.
Happy Birthday, Gabby. Mommy and Daddy love you very much!

I love when my kids make stuff. I know one day I'll miss these little "projects". That's probably why I shamelessly snap pictures and record videos!...

Suegra,
I imagine you looking like this when Jesus says, "Tell me about your family." I see you pointing to all of us and saying, "Take a look for yourself." proudly then putting your hands on your hips just like in this picture.
This is one of my all-time favorite pictures of you and...
