"It just can't be!"

But, it is true.

Today I'm 3!!!

Just Read

When it comes to enjoying a good book, he is #unstoppable! Gabe memorized several phrases from Green Eggs and Ham and recites them as we turn the pages and observe the illustrations.  

"See Gavin!  Now I can go to school like you do because I Just Read, Read, Read!"

Super Gabe

Every family is made of SUPER people! 

As we work together to strengthen our capes we begin to recognize and encourage the super powers in each of the people we love.  While spending last week in Florida at Family Forward, our family had the opportunity to work on our figurative capes.  During our favorite session with Duct Tape and Cricut we were asked to brainstorm a project we could build together using the supplies at hand.  Gabe, who we would have guessed was oblivious to the message of strengthening our family based on his attention span, asked Kevin to make him a super hero cape.  It was fun to be able to do that for him and as soon as we tied it on he took off!  A thrilling display of running, jumping,and  giggling!  Those of you who know Gabe's story understand the Super {Natural} Powers at work here.  Physical limitations and abilities aside,  our family delights in Gabe's super powers of making people smile, entertaining, being playful, and empathizing with others.
