A special boy

Gabriel has many endearing qualities, one being that he loves to laugh and be silly, especially with his dad.

He loves to eat, too. I'm not sure I've ever heard the words, "I'm full," come out of his mouth.

He plays hard, loves hard, works hard, practices hard, thinks hard... you get the idea. He is not a whirlwind personality, but more of an intense and deep well that becomes infinitely precious to any who will take the time to draw from him.

(Just be careful: once you've unleashed his talkative side, he might not pause for breath-- which his aunties will all attest to!)

This boy made me a mama, and that is awfully special to me, too.

Happy Birthday, Gabriel! We couldn't love you more!
