17

Gabe turned 17 in October!

Blowing out the candles.

One continuous soft breath.

And last one extinguished.

Fly Rod from Dad

Card from Grandma and Grandpa

Card from Grammy and Grandpa

Good gifts.

Gaming with the cousins.  Gabe bought himself a Wii at the annual rummage sale.

Found out later, Gabe wasn't so pleased with us stealing Havah for the adult "gaming," dominoes at the kitchen table.  (No gambling involved.)  We were missing Grammy, who was connecting with family and grammar school classmates in California.  Overall, Gabe had a happy birthday.
