Gabriel's 2nd Birthday Party
Gabriel had a fun birthday party today with lots of great company. Grandma and Papa came over early to blow up balloons. Uncle Robbie, Bobby, and Ben were here too!

Uncle Brian and Erin
Uncle Eddie made the trip from Indianapolis for the party. We missed you Aunt Stacey!
Uncle Mark and Aunt Kathie came over. So did Great Gramma.
Grampy, David, and Gerri came to visit too.
Karney and Dodie visited too.
We had a yummy lunch of chicken salad sandwiches, barbequed sausages, vegetables, fruit, macaroni and cheese, green beans, and crackers and cheese. Gabriel enjoyed the food as well as the company.
Next Gabriel got to blow out the candle on his birthday cake. He did a good job. All that practice with blowing bubbles has paid off.

Finally came opening gifts . . .

He got an Elmo tent and a tunnel to crawl in from Uncle Robbie, Bobby, and Ben.
And a basketball goal from Mommy and Daddy.
Finally came opening gifts . . .

Snow Days
Mommy was off from school yesterday and today because of the snow. It was a fun two days at home with the kiddos.
Gabriel practiced drinking from a big boy cup and did quite well with it.
In the middle of getting out Play-Doh, he noticed that it was snowing again. He sat down in the floor and quietly watched the snow fall for several minutes. It was so sweet!

The kids hanging out together! They are so cute . . . I can't get enough of them!
Gabriel asked Mommy to take "MY picture" . . . meaning that he wanted to have a self-portait.

Bruiser . . . No, Bruised
Teething . . . Already!
Saturday Grace was very fussy. She cried nonstop for quite awhile, and nothing seemed to soothe her. I finally noticed that she was biting her hands so I thought a teething toy might make her feel better. After chewing on the frozen teething toy for less than a minute, she calmed right down. Tonight the same thing happened again. She was crying and crying. I gave her the frozen teething toy, and she calmed down. It seems like she is teething SO early . . . she is just growing up SO fast I can't stand it!
