Gabriel

Here we go 2 days in a row. Well I left off with a poem that I think summed up Zeb. I don't mean that to be a thought process of how great man is and what he can do. I mean that as the fact the Lord has called us to run the race to win and to walk worthy of the calling in our lives. I think those both describe focus and effort on your very best. I believe in Zeb very much, he will be a great Christian, Husband, Dad and Man.

Gabriel is my baby boy. He is almost 20 months as I am writing this. He has been a joy in my life since he was born. He is handsome and very funny. He is also growing a servant's heart and a caring, loving demeanor. He learns words by the day and each second he seems to grow in his control over his body. To watch him grow can only bring amazement at the incredible ability of our Creator. I love to play with him and try to understand what his world is like. I try to never be anything except a source of enjoyment and love for him. I have enjoyed every moment with him, and most of my favorites have been the late night wake-up calls and the days when all he wants is to be held. He is strong-willed and we will face some challenges ahead, but challenges I look forward to overall. He is strong and active and I have seen both his mother and I in him. Like Zeb, there are days when I miss him so much it hurts, but I know that my work provides for them. My boys, my boys I love my boys.
