10 months has passed by since Gabe was born and it really doesn't feel possible. I remember the days of last May and caring for Luna. I don't remember anything specific about Gabe but I do remember that I was huge. I look up at our crabapple tree in bloom and I remember how she would sit under it and just take it all in. It is a nice memory during a hard time. We saw some puppies at the farmers market and I didn't feel compelled to get one. I still need time I think. Time will be good. Time will give me more chances to play with my kids and keep my life together. Just like I did this weekend.
Gabe is moving ahead as a 10 month old and is wild and crazy. He is a happy baby and is getting his third tooth (super slow with teething). He loves to explore and destroy and yell (in a good way). He and his sister have made underneath the table the wild fort and will go in there together and bang on things and play. Frannie is doing great as a big sister. We try to find safe places to keep Gabe and the swing works well for a little bit. He has blisters on the tops of his fingers from army crawling on the carpet at school and is now subject to any bandages we have lying around. Sorry Gabe, but we have a lot of Hello Kitty bandades....you'll have to get used to things like that.

Mothers Day also passed over the weekend and my little family really pulled through for me! no fighting and crying!!! Frannie was on good behavior and so was Lou. We went to the farmers market, Frannies soccer game, to the archie bray mothers day event, and worked around the house. We wanted to get out and hike or enjoy the sunny weather away from the house but we have work to be done before we get it painted. Hubs and I really do well with projects now that we have remodeled an entire house!! Hope all the moms out there were able to take some time to reflect on their little ones and what it means to be a mom. Mothers day is my new official favorite holiday.
