Our little man turned
2 today!! Eric and I are amazed at how fast time has flown with our Gabe here. I was working last night and thinking about how 2 years ago exactly I was in labor and we were happily anticipating meeting our sweet baby. How incredible that night was. I had the best experience with labor and delivery (once the epidural was in)! I am always touched by the Spirit when I witness a new baby entering this world but when my own son arrived...
wow. Eric and I were overcome - it was the absolute best moment! However I laugh when I remember how surprised I was to look at Gabe and see a little stranger. I loved that little stranger, but still, he was a stranger! I'm not sure what else I expected! Now, I can't imagine life without him. And although he is only 2, I feel like we are such close buddies. He is the happiest, sweetest, spunkiest guy with the funniest personality... we love him SO much!
So anyway... we had a lot of fun today! Eric and I gave Gabe his present right after breakfast... a basketball hoop!! Gabe has been beside himself with happiness all day shooting hoops. I'm not exaggerating one bit when I say that
every minute at home today has been spent shooting baskets and running after the rebounds. He has been out of breath all day!! :) Eric and I are thrilled that we did so well on his gift!
haha!!
For dinner we went up the canyon and roasted
hot dogs over a campfire...what a blast! Gabe is going to be a little mountain man - he loves it out there!
Now our little birthday boy is in bed (with his basketball) - it's been a great day.
Happy Birthday Baby!!
