Gabriel's First Week

Gabriel started school on Tuesday. He is there from 9:30 - 2:30 and went back again today. He will only go on Tuesday and Thursday. This picture shows him with his teacher and one of his classmates.

On Monday, we got Gabriel put on the insurance plan with the AF and had our friends over for supper and play time. The other picture is Gabriel with his friend Quinn. Tuesday was school and the pet shop to try to get him more comfortable with our dog Ammo, as well as a gift card shower from mommy's co-workers and a few presents just for him. Wednesday, we went back to base to finish up paperwork. Gabriel got his first pair of Crocks and in the afternoon we went over to play with Quinn and get used to Aunt Meredith's house. We did not go to church because the grumpy bear came out after coming home from playtime. Last night was his first night not to cry himself to sleep, so that was VERY EXCITING for mom and dad.

Thursday brought his first visit to the doctor here and yucky blucky blood work that was very tramatic for us all. Once we escaped all that, Gabriel got to go to school again. Tomorrow we have plans to go visit Nana Sara from church, since she will be keeping him on M/W/F.

Several of you have asked for clothing sizes so here is where Gabriel is for now. Pants - 18 months, some 24 months or 2T; Shirts - 2T or 3T; Shoes - size 7.

We thank you all for your continued prayers and ask that God will continue to bless you as well.

Love the Schwarte trio,

Rick, Angela, and Gabriel
