Well, the past month has been VERY busy or we would have been blogging more. Everyday, there are new things Gabriel has learned to say or do, which of course, keeps Mommy and Daddy happy and busy too. Gabriel and Ammo have turned into best buddies. It is so fun to listen to him trying to give Ammo commands. His Russian accent sometimes hinders Ammo's understanding. One of Gabriel's new favorites has become Little Ammo, his stuffed black lab.
Since last post, Gabriel has met both sets of grandparents, one of his aunts, and two of his cousins. So we have Grandpa Schwarte and Babushka (Grandma in Russian), G.G. and G.D. (Grandma Gladys and Grandpa Don), Aunt Stacey, and Marissa and Erin. Gabriel even turned three on April 11th. He had his first school program which is where the video came from and he seems to have the budding star bug. He loves to sing and play with Daddy's guitar, as well as instruments he got for his birthday. Look for his name in lights someday!!!
We visited the train museum last weekend with our best friends Quinn, Keegan, and Meredith. Meredith's parents were in town and were with us, so Gabriel has a Gaga and Poppa too. Yesterday, we went to the park with Quinn, Keegan, and Meredith. We had a picnic and played. Gabriel even got his first sunburn, but thank goodness it wasn't as bad as Mommy's.
Everyday is an adventure at the Schwarte house now. We can't imagine what our lives would be like without our little angel. We are so thankful to God for blessing our lives and trusting us with this bundle of energy. Thank you to everyone for your continued thoughts, prayers, and concerns.
With all of our love,
The Schwarte Trio - Rick, Angela, and Gabriel
