Thursday was my nephew Gabe's 5th birthday. I can't wrap my head around how fast the time has flown by and I'm not even his mother! Gabe is a firecracker. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. He can be as rambunctious as can be one minute, testing every ounce of patience you have left. The next minute, he will be so sweet, cuddly and helpful. This boy has a desire to be a "man's man". He LOVES to be outside, go scouting for duck and geese with his dad, fishing, and deer hunting.
His uncle and I have loved him since we first laid eyes and hands on him. I made him promise me when he was two that he would: stay little for ever, always let me give him kisses, always give me hugs, and to go on dates with me. He was too little to remember that promise and I know he didn't know what it meant. But for now, he still lets me kiss him, gives me hugs, and goes on dates with me (although they aren't very often).
