small tribute

there are three children in my life that i can't post pictures of, but this one i can.

this is my big man. and it's been awhile since i paid a small tribute to him on this blog.

gabe is my favorite 4 year old in the world.

he's pretty much awesome.

this over here to your left is his intense face. --he's very focused.


gabe has had to deal with a lot over the past year. he went from being an only child to being the oldest of 4. it's a hard life. no doubt.


he's smart and funny and says things like, "you're the best mommy. i can always count on you."
he tells jokes like the interrupting cow joke except he forgets to interrupt.



he looks great in hats, enjoys cuddling, and can race cars in our living room with the best of them.

here's to you, gabe. the love of my life. your squishy nose and big cheeks make me happy.
