My little world traveler...
My energetic and sweet Gabriel turned one recently. His first year was a whirlwind... shortly after his birth we packed up our lives, lives we enjoyed and miss, to move temporarily to Spain. Well, that "temporarily" ended being even faster than expected, and we were on to our current home in Cyprus. By Gabriel's first year, he has lived in three different countries and outside of the US longer than he lived in it. Like the saying goes, time waits for no one. During these travels Gabriel kept growing and hitting milestones. Sometimes it felt like he was on a fast track. He started army crawling at 4 months, sitting at 5, pulling up at 6 and taking his first steps by 10 months. Lets just say this boy is always on the go! He adores his sister and is determined to keep up with her. He is intense whatever his mood - happy or sad. Gabriel has been a bright joy in the midst of amazing places, lots of changes, awesome experiences, struggles and adjustments. And what can we say, he has stolen our hearts with his smiles, laughs and even humor. Gabriel we love you!

And I thought Nate was quite the traveler, having lived in 3 states in his first year! Oh well, God gives us what we can handle, and I'm not sure I'm able to handle 3 countries right now. You are a brave woman (as if the octopus wasn't enough:) and we will keep praying for you and enjoy reading your adventures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Raluca! 3 states is a lot of changes! God's grace is sufficient isn't it! These two little guys would probably have a blast together. Thank you for your prayers and support!
