As usual, the weekend with my parents went too fast. Also typical, they brought a million presents for Gabriel. He knew it, too, and conned Nana in to letting him open as many presents before the actual present-opening as he could. She bought him finger paints and big paper, so, of course, he begged her and Uncle Josh to paint as often as possible. Doug got a laptop and portable printer so he can work on homework while on the road. I got a new phone, a new backpack, and protection from the cold for when I take the dogs out in the middle of the night. Gabriel got Spiderman bedding and lots of toys. Someday I'd like to go back to Indiana for Christmas, specially timing it for the Christmas party on my mom's side of the family. I just can't see how to do it at the moment. Travelling really long distances with a two year old is more daunting than the price of gas. I'd have to try to drum up the money for a flight.
Anyway, the only reason I am blogging this late is because Doug is in a hotel and knew he wouldn't have written about this yet....and I have trouble sleeping without him. I'm really tired, though, so I am going to bed, and Doug can write more on this later.

i think the finger painting was a way a showing gabriel he can do what he wants if we let him do what we want. it was fun showing him and looking forward to creating more pictures with Gabriel. we had a good time, but to fast. I loved the fact that I have a digital camera and can take all the pictures I want and not run out of film. Yea! I love those little ones, they are getting so big and full of the devil. Gabriel you have to learn to go to bed earlier. Pretty Please! See you for your birthday's!
