Gabriel

Gabriel is a sweet, sweet boy.  With him, there is no "terrible twos."  He is usually very happy!  He loves to read books, play with cars, blocks, and Lightning McQueen.  He loves music and could sing full songs before he could talk clearly.  His favorite songs to have sung to him are "I Am a Child of God," "I Am Like a Star," and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."  He loves to listen to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Kaulana Kenekoa, "Heavenly," by Harry Connick Jr., "Big Girl You are Beautiful" by Mika, and "Falls" and "Gabriel's Oboe" by Ennio Morricone from "The Mission" soundtrack.  He loves going to story time at the library, especially for the drinking fountain.  He likes to drive by the fire station near our house to see if the fire trucks are out. I would say that his favorite thing is to be with his family-- everyone from Mommy, Daddy, Mia, Grandma, Poppy, Grandma Kathy, and cousins galore.  He just finished up his music explorers class at BYU, where he got to go play music with Daddy every Saturday morning. He really is a delight.  I look forward to hearing the sweetest little, "Mommy, wake up!" from this little one every morning.
