Gabe's 3rd Birthday

We had a family party at home on Sunday and a friend party the following Friday at the Choo Choo Station at Grapevine Mills Mall!
Gabe and his friends had so much fun!!

On Sunday, before everyone came over for the party, we met the grandparents out at Greenwood to say Happy Birthday to Nathaniel. I can't believe it's been 3 years already. It is amazing how time really does heal. I had some moments this month, but for the most part, there were not a lot of tears like the previous years. It's interesting how grief can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

We had a special "Cars" cake for Gabe on Sunday. And on Friday it was Thomas the Train theme.

Gavin is 6 months old and Gabe is almost 3

I cannot believe my baby boy is 6 months old. And my big boy is growing up too! I cannot believe Gabe is almost 3.

My heart is heavy this evening as I learned of my friend Amber's friend who lost her husband, Brad at the age of 34. They have a 5 and 2 year old. I'm also sad about a couple who just lost their baby a week ago.

Life is so precious... and so fragile.

A verse I was reminded of this week... 1 Cor 1:3-4

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
