Together Again

Gabe & Jaxon in 2006 (above, maybe 2 years old...Jaxon trying to cope without his binky!)

Gabe & Jaxon TODAY! Estatic to be together again!

For those of you who have known our family for at least the last 5 years you also know about our little family friend, Gabriel....aka...Gabe. When I started daycare back in 2004 Gabe was 6 months old when he came to our home... him and Jaxon are 2 months apart and have pretty much grown up together. The more I tune into their relationship the more I see they have a special bond that has formed between good buddies over the last 5 years. Even after I stopped doing full daycare I kept Gabe because we just couldn't part with him. He had grown in all our hearts in a special way and well...just felt like part of the gang here :) Once I had Austin I took a little break which turned into a year break. During this time both boys asked when they would be back together again... well, the time has come! Gabe is coming back to start just 3 days a week (preschool in the afternoon of these days) and the boys couldn't have been more excited! They jumped into each other's arms when we opened the door this morning and while they were playing I heard Jaxon say "Are we still best friends?" All it took was Gabe's simple "yeah"... and they are right where they left off! So cheers to our good buddy back in the house! Two friends together again!
