Menorah!

Gabe is obsessed with his plush menorah. He loved "lighting" the candles last night and he was so excited to see the menorah this morning that it went to school with him.

Look! A candle!

See all that crud on his face? That is two holiday parties worth of food...mostly M&M's.

Score! Blocks! (Thanks Rebecca!!)

Best Buds

Gabe and Boudreaux can often be found hiding out together and "playing". Here they are in Boudreaux's favorite spot -- under the table.

Monday Madness

Quite pleased with his new method of carrying his lunch box...

New favorite game = pillow forts.
Neighborhood Christmas tree lighting and first snow!

Recent Fun

Gabe and Liam thought this bench was the BEST part of the entire Baltimore Aquarium.

Gabe hugs rocking horse Mortimer on a short visit to Roanoke this week.

Hangin' with his buddy Cousin Sara.

Nice Reading Spot

Pucker Up!

Gabe shows off his ample kisser...and then his growing number of chompers...

Friday Five

I wonder where Gabe gets his smile?

Showing some leg while lounging in his bathrobe and slippers (thanks Carrie!).

A banana at Bubbe's...

And some video fun...

Just Being Cute

Cool school bus sweater is from Mimi! And check out Gabe's new shoes...soccer fever has begun.

Remembering Uncle Herb

This is a photo taken last year of Gabe's Great Uncle Herb and Great Aunt Suzanne. Uncle Herb passed away recently after a long illness. He will be sorely missed.

Caught on Video

I caught Gabe rockin' out on the webcam. Too bad you can't hear the music...just imagine Hebrew kids tunes. Rock on Gabe!

How to Eat a Pickle

(UJ - Can you see these pics?)

Not Related to Gabe...

...but worth posting. This was 2 blocks from our house last night and early into the morning. The video does not even give the Obama celebration justice. It was truly a site!

Lil' Monkey

Gabe didn't really "get" Halloween, but as soon as he discovered people were putting stuff in his bucket, he immediately started running door to door to ask our neighbors for treats. He loves this monkey costume, especially because he has a tail like Boudreaux.










Here is Gabe counting his goods.











Tricker-treating with some of our neighbors.











And a first taste of candy....ecstasy.

School Halloween Bash

Gabe had such a great time running around with his little buddies at the school Halloween party. And check out my awesome cupcakes!!

Grease Lightning

Check out our little greaser...

Too tough for a cupcake.

Two little greasers get a ride from a cute cat.

GO Daddy!

Gabe watches for Dad at the 17 mile marker of the Marine Corps Marathon.

Dad found the time to stop for a photo shoot AND still run a 3:16 marathon!

Hanging out in the Diabetes Action tent after the race.

A shout out to these truly amazing and inspiring men who serve our country...
