MERRY CHRISTMAS GABE!

Dear Gabe,

How I wished you could have been here with us this morning.  I'm glad you were able to spend it with Little Zachary though.  Thanks for calling, that really made my day. 

Your sisters really brought out the Scrooge in me this year.  I might have to invest some money and send them both to obedience school... or boot camp!  Aghhhh!

Wow, 2006 is almost over and in just a few days it will be a new year.  This year was so long and stressful that I'm glad its over, but I'm not too sure I'm ready for what the new year holds in store for us.  Oh well, ready or not... here it comes.

Enjoy your time with your son.  It doesn't last.  He'll grow up and be every bit as Oompish as you, your brothers and sisters were (still are!)  Can't wait to see you both, soon I hope.

Love you always,

Mom~
