The latest Gabe story


This last week we had the daughters of our friends staying at our house while their mother was having a baby. One of their daughters, Laura, is 3 like Gabe. Though they have their moments of fighting, Gabe and Laura are always talking about how much they love each other. Laura dresses up every time she sees Gabe. Gabe finally decided to imitate her. An hour before Laura was to leave, Gabe decided to impress her with her favorite shirt. Unfortunately, he got side-tracked and forgot to put his shirt on so he spent the last hour of her visit displaying his bare torso. After Laura left, he saw his shirt and said "Oh, I forgot to put on my shirt." I said, "Oh, that's too bad Gabey. Did you want to be handsome for Laura." He said "Yes, but I wasn't handsome, I was just skinny." Poor kid, already worried about his torso.

Eric and Ang,
Please tell Gabe that Grandma and Grandpa think he is very handsome--with or without his shirt. (We realize, of course, that Laura's assessment holds more weight:)

By the way, Ang,
Kevin and I laughed hysterically at this little story! Tell him we love him!
