We took the day off school and took the family to the water park for Gabe's birthday. 

Then to Pizza Hut for dinner. It was a really fun day.

 Birthday Donuts

 We love Gabe. He has always been the best sleeper. Most energetic. Hardest worker. Most helpful in the home. Washes dishes and makes pancakes. Good brother. Loving. Thoughtful and sensitive to others.

Happy Adoption Day!

We are so extremely happy to have finalized Whitney's adoption. We are so grateful for her wonderful birthmom for placing her in our family. She's a miracle. We love her so much.
