happy belated

I feel terrible that I didnt blog on April 8th, but we were in the middle of a move, and really being online was the last thing on my mind. Gabriel's day didn't go without notice though. I can't believe my little boy would have been one already. Hard to believe that I should have a one year old, and almost 3 year old taking up my days.

The day was gloomy and a bit chilly, just like the year before, but it is still Gabe's day, and we will celebrate it every year no matter what. I woke up just figuring since we were literally moving that weekend that we'd just head to breakfast or something as a family, and remember him, but my husband had other plans. We had agreed that each year we would go to Starved Rock and remember him. This year was to be no different. We got up a little late, and even though I was overwhelmed with how much packing was left, Beto assured me it would get done by Sunday. I trusted him, and off we went to Starved Rock.

I'm really glad that I didnt put up a big fuss, and just dropped everything and continued our tradition. It was very relaxing, and just it's just peaceful to be so close to nature. I feel him all over the place and I know he is fine. He will always be my first son, and the 20 short weeks he spent with us will always be special.

Happy 1st birthday Gabe.
