Growing Up: The Cute Version

Riding his trike isn't the same without Franklin (his puppy)

Zoey and Gabe looking through the fence at a neighbor mowing his lawn. So cute to see them together.

Little buddies

Gabe's dad sent him this little piano that he had when he was little.
Gabe loves pounding on it :)

So.Freakin.Handsome

Gabe's into his terrible twos. Can't help but think he's still cute when I look back at these pictures
(not when it's happening) ... He didn't get that long of a nap before church; this is him throwing a fit about having to get up and go

Can't wait to show these pictures to him when he's older. hahahahaha.

Spaghetti Sauce mustache and goatee. Somebody loves him spaghetti!


Now, on to Gabriel and growing up. He's getting so big. I love watching him discover and learn new things every day. He is very curious and watches everything I do. I have to be careful what I say and do because he catches on really fast. He is definitely in the "terrible twos" stage. He throws fits at the slightest thing, such as not getting his milk right away, or getting put in his car seat when he just wants to run and play. I am beyond happy that I am his mom. I wouldn't change that for anything!! I've learned more about life and myself by teaching and raising him than I think anything else could have. Thank you Gabriel for making me so happy!!

I am currently in the process of looking for a teaching job for next year. Can I just say how much I hate looking for jobs? Especially teaching ones? It is soooo much work and then sometimes you don't even get an interview. It's hard and tedious. Yuck. But I know I'll find something, so I keep on at it. :) For the summer I don't have any work, and I am still trying to find something.. Which also stinks looking for something. On the bright side, I still get paid for two months of the summer, school gets out May 26th (six working days left), and I get to spend more time with Gabe. So wish me luck in the job search!
