Gabe showing his sense of humor! He saw this picture on my computer and said "Gramma! They put paint on my face!!"

It's been a year!!!!

Me, Gabe and Jayme

I realized while sitting at work today that it has been almost a year since I have blogged about Gabriel. I don't know if anybody reads this blog anymore *probably not!* however I thought I would update nonetheless.

Jayme: She is doing great, she has just completed her first year of college. Jayme thinks she is going for a business degree but she is still a bit uncertain. She works at a salon on the weekends and a small restaurant a few days a week. She has a cute little house with a fenced yard just two blocks from me.

Gabriel: Mr. Moosey Moo . . . . is absolutely fantastic. He is almost three and speaks in clear sentances. This child will walk up and say "Hello gramma, how are you today?" He says please and thank you, gives kisses and hugs, just is a joy. Make no mistakes though . . . He is definately an only child. The word no gives immediate meltdowns!

Tony: Well, hes doing well too! Tony is working two jobs, one at the same restaurant as Jayme and the other working nights at a market. I can say alot about Tony but he certainly is the hardest working person I have ever known. That kid can work a 24 hour shift. I think it is rather unhealthy. We still debate and fight like crazy . . . but he is a good kid and a really great father.

As for Jayme and Tony? They are very strongly still together. There were some ups and downs but now Jayme and Tony are 19 and 20 and very in love. They are both committed to eachother and to Gabe, and you can't beat that. I am very very aware that thier story is not very common.

They have been living together for about eight months, and I think its awesome for Gabe to have his parents together. I wish I had the strength those two have!
