Gabriel turns 2!

12:13 pm CDT September 27, 2010
Sweet Baby Gaby, My baby boy is becoming more boy than baby, but I truly know what is means to say, "You will always be my baby!" Your light shines over our family, and your joy is contagious...as are all of your other emotions! :) You love raisins "ings", meow meow, family dance parties, and finding construction workers during car rides! You can also spot a "PLAYGROUND!!!" from a mile away. I pray that you grow to be a strong man of God, and I look forward to many more birthdays and every normal day in-between! Love, Mommy

I started using Etsy.com for thank you letters after Gabriel's 1st birthday, and I just LOVE it! GoodFrau is the designer who created this adorable double-sided invite that was folded to look like a passport!

She used all of the Olmsted scholar's countries and special family dates for the stamps.

Gabriel is turing 2! He'd love to travel the globe with you! This world of wonder is ours to enjoy! Your presence is your present for our sweet BIG boy!

Check out this goofy smile!

Sweet friends, Stephen, Will, Lydia and Joshua

Packed and ready to travel the world!

We love the planet earth!

This was a passport potluck party where everyone brought a dish from their country of study. It was truly a feast!!!

Will, Stew, Lydia and their mom Elizabeth are moving to Israel!

Fadwa is Jamil's Arabic teacher. She is a jewel!

Most of the spouses

The morning of Gabriel's birthday! Cupcake breakfast!!!

Thank you family and friends for all of my awesome gifts!!!
