The Gabes

We're just a simple family of four. I help people tell a story, he helps people find a place to lay their head, and our two boys help us remember that there truly is a loving God. What do we love? God. Our family (both that of our church and the ones that brought us into the world). What else? Fine Art. Reading. The garden. (me) Shooting below 80. Movies. Making things from wood. (he) Trucks. Airplanes. Trains. (Scooby) Food. Sleep. Eating car keys. (Scrappy) Like I said. We're pretty simple.

pajamas

i love toddlers in pajamas. the ones that zip up the front, with feet. i love the big giant belly and the rumpled diaper bottom, and the skinny little arms and legs sticking out on all sides. i especially love striped pajamas, it makes them look like little misshapen elves.

last night i committed parental sin #22 - i went in late at night to kiss my baby and pull up his blanket, as i always do, but when his head popped up, i took him out just to cuddle. and then, i went and sang to him (#23) and then, because he was so cute and sweet and was playing peek-a-boo with his blankie, i took him out of the room (#24) and back in to the den with me so daddy could enjoy him too. i know this is terrible for their sleep patterns, but who can resist the sleep curls, and milky breath and the grin? i am besotted...
