Gabe.

Gabe calls his blankie, his kingkeek. That's how it sounds anyhow. Just think it's cute. He, like Olivia, also replaces the letter "S" with "F"s. So, he says his name is Gabe Frouse and he really likes to fwing.

Bill and the kids

 The kids on our new counter stools, thanks to David and Rachel. They love to sit and eat or color while I prepare and clean from the other side.

Our Community

Two very dear friends left our community for France last week. David and Rachel are very much missed! Olivia and Gabe miss their playmate, Damien as well.

We had a fire and desserts as a farewell the night before they left.

Olivia

Olivia is growing in independence every day. Here is a fairly recent example of, "Mom, can I try that myself?" It's ranch dressing for her carrots.

 She drew this herself!

 She spends many hours at the table coloring and drawing.

 At Downtown Disney this week.

Gabe

Here are a few pics of Gabe over the last month or so.

A typical ornery look from him.

 Loves his hat and monkey.

 Every Wednesday morning, he watches the gardeners mow and trim.

 Chillaxing.

 Pulling up a chair to watch Charlie, our maintenance man work.

 Just playing.

 At Downtown Disney. If I ask him to smile for a picture, he'll say, "Cheese." just like this.
