Tonight was kind of a scary night. We had thunderstorms and a couple of funnel clouds were spotted in areas near us. And just where was Gabe's Mom??? Um, maybe she was at Hobby Lobby, oblivious to the outside weather conditions. What can I say? All of the Christmas stuff was 80% off and I had to stop and buy a Disney Cars cake pan so Aunt Missy could make Gabe's birthday cake. Here I was taking my time, totally not knowing that Gabe and Dad were worried about me.
I actually took this picture yesterday, but I think it fits today's blog. My family, sitting at home waiting for me. What a picture to come home to! When I opened the door, Gabe started crawling immediately for me. He was laughing and you could just tell he was really excited to see me. It was a wonderful feeling. Gabe's Dad on the other hand, gave me the "Where WERE you???" lecture. "We were worried about you!".
I'm so thankful to be here in my cozy home, safe and sound with my family. God answered my prayers tonight - I'm here, right where I want to be.

Did your cell phone not work in Hobby Lobby?...oh wait!
Oh my goodness, Bri. I'm sitting her catching up on your last few posts with tears streaming down my face. What sweet words for your little boy and such precious then and now shots. I'll never forget the excitement on Cari & Erik's face when they told us about Gabe's arrival - his birth touched so many! Hard to believe it's been a year already.
Happy early birthday to the Gabeinator!
Thanks so much, Mrs., for that very sweet note! We love him so much... I gotta figure out a way to put all of this onto a CD or something for him... I might know a techie guy...
Thanks again, Mrs. Gabe is truly a blessing! Thanks for reading and maybe we'll see you before the next Hurloween!
Bri, I found a site that will turn blog posts into a book. Check out www.blurb.com. It's a free download, and the price of the book varies depending on how many pages it ends up being.
I've started my first book (Feb 07-Dec 07) and plan to make a hard copy of my blog entries each year. I think my book is 240 pages (you can also include the pictures) and it will cost me around $40 for a hardcover copy.
Oh, thank you for finding that! I will definitely be checking it out! That seems very reasonable too!
