Just a little dribble.

Gabriel never fails to inspire me.
Wednesday night after Bible study I checked my phone and found a video message from Matt.
And my heart burst. 

Seriously, the sky is the limit for our sweet one.

Beaming with pride I shared it with my friend Leanne and she was too impressed; that this little boy who took his first steps on June 20 is playing soccer.

Gabe is a force to be reckoned with.
He is determined, motivated and willing to try and try again until he is able to accomplish something.
And accomplish it, he does.  


 

Never, never, never give up.

Popular

Our Chrome Buffalo fundraiser is over!!!   
Check out the page here.
I love seeing that "Drive Successful" stamp. 
Probably a little too much.  
Intuitively I know God will fund what He favors.  
And we know how much He favors adoption!  
But my soul just brims with hope I saw how many people joined with us. 
I hope y'all love your shirts. 
When you were your shirt feel confident knowing you helped bring our little one home.  
Out of an orphanage and into a family. 
You indeed changed a life. 

And now onto the dancing.  
You didn't think it was going to be me did you?
But surely this sweet boy won't disappoint you. 
Gabe is quite certain your new shirt is going to make you POPULAR!  (wink, wink)

Time? It's running out!

You know that moment when you're at the store, see something you want 
but for one reason or another you don't buy it?  
You go home, think about what you passed up and decide you'll go back the next day to get it.  
Arrive at the store the next day, go to the proper aisle... and it's gone!  

This happens to me all too often at Anthropoligie's sale rack or Barnes and Noble's children's books sales bins.
It irritates me every time.
One day I'll learn my lesson.

Don't let this happen to you!
There are just 3 days left to buy our Chrome Buffalo "Hope" shirts!

Click here to buy a shirt!
Get one while you can because once they're gone, they're gone!

Children's Museum - Cleveland Style

For Christmas Gabe and I received a membership pass to the Children's Museum of Cleveland.  We made our first visit a few weeks ago and while it was not the Children's Museum of Houston (they're ranked number for a reason!), Gabe had a great time.  It took our sweet boy a little while to get used to the messiness of the room full of sand and his favorite activity far and wide was playing in the water; fishing, learning about locks and racing boats. 






Gabe thought the weather screen was pretty cool.  But I'm pretty sure he mostly liked to see himself on the television [smile].

This bridge was also a highlight.  It shakes when you walk across it... just like on Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  Obviously I missed the show with the moving bridge but Gabe, who forgets nothing, surely remembered!
