Gabe is growing so fast, it’s hard to believe. Here’s one of mommy’s favorite pictures of Gabe just playing and hanging out. What a pose! Maybe we have a Calvin Klein underwear model in the making!

Yia yia’s 80th Birthday Party

This past weekend we took our first family trip to Boulder, Co. to celebrate Yia yia’s 80th birthday. We got to visit many of the Wagner family, several of whom Gabe was meeting for the first time. We stayed at Aunt Kathy’s house, which we got to see for the first time. Gabe went apple picking in Uncle Dave’s backyard with all the guys while most of the ladies took yia yia to the yarn store.

On Saturday night we went out for the party! We had a very nice dinner at a restaurant just a little ways from the house. Gabe wore his fancy tie and sweater vest – looking mighty dashing. We all had a nice time. We got to see the entire CA Wagner clan – Steve, Mary Jo, Scott and Mark. We also saw Kathy, Sarah and Nathan and the whole Dave clan…and of course, Yia yia and Papa. Turns out that everyone who was missing was at a wedding of some sort! The night went quite smashingly, except that Mark’s mohawk scared Gabe. He had to bury his face in Uncle Steve’s shoulder until the mohawk hair was gone.

Then on Sunday morning, Kathy, Yia yia and Papa treated use to a very nice brunch. We spent the rest of the day relaxing until we all dispersed for the airport or home. We have lots of pictures, if you’d like to see.
