October 2009 - Halloween, Our Little Kangaroo

This year Gabriel went to Halloween as a kangaroo. He was sooo cute! Originally I had given him a disco costume. He took one look at it and screamed NO WAY! Then I found the kangaroo costume and he loved it. Must be the Aussie in him. We had the best time with Blanca and Herving's daughter, Amilia. Amilia was a little elf and the two of them took their cars and went trick or treating through the street. It was a blast. Grandpa came to visit and we took Gabriel out all over the neighborhood as a little kangaroo. It was an awesome halloween!

September 09 - Gabriels New PJs and Parties!

Gabriel has new PJs from Tita and Papa! He is so proud of his SpiderMan PJs. Gabriel had tons of fun at Zane's BBQ chilling with his friend Katya. He also had a great time with all of my friends from Genenetech including Michelle's daughter, Aliya. Gabriel seems to have a lot of girlfriends already!

August 09 - Gabriel Having Fun

This month Gabriel got to see a ton of his friends and have a great time with Grandma Lopez. Gabriel thought it was so much fun to get a mohawk in the bath and then snuggle up in his towel! He also had a wonderful visit with his Auntie Ramona from Idaho. She and Gabriel danced and cuddled the whole visit! I think they are in love. Gabriel hung out with his friend Gemma at the icecream shop. Yummy!

July 09 - Gabriel Turns 2!

On July 17. Gabriel turned two years old. We had a huge party at San Bruno City Park with about 50 people. The food was amazing, Oliver Twist came to make balloon animals and do face painting, there was a spiderman pinata and all the kids (and adults!) had a fabulous time. Gabriel was so cute in his little island shirt and we were very proud of our little fella that he was a whole two years old. What a big boy!

July 09 - Aussie Family Visits SF

In July we were so stoked to have my family from Australia come for a visit. It was fantastic. Rafael and his new gorgeous wife Lisa were here, Nikki, my auntie who I grew up with, and Dad and Louise came to join in the festivities. It was such a fun and special visit, we all loved it. Gabriel was especially excited to meet his Aussie family, he managed to get even more cuddles than usual and hopped around like an excited Kangaroo. It was wonderful. Yay!

June 09 - Monterey Holiday

This month we took a vacation to Monterey! It was fantastic. Dad and Louise came with us and we had a wonderful time. Gabriel absolutely loved it. We took him to the aquarium where he played with everything and finished the day totally soaked from head to toe. We also took him to the beach where he wanted to run into the waves! Gabriel has no fear and is quite daring. We have to keep a good eye on him as he wanders about looking for spiders, rocks, bugs and anything else messy and fun. He is all boy!
