Gabi Wants To say Thank You!

To Michelle @ In The Life of a Child:

After Gabi got lost a few months back, Michelle was kind enough to create a necklace for Gabi in case she ever got lost again. The necklace has Gabi's complete name, address, and phone number on it. Thanks Michelle for taking the time to do this! It came in perfect time for Gabi to take on her trip to Florida. Here is Gabi wearing it the day we received it in the mail. (Her hair wet because she just got out of the shower.)

And to Ms. Elise:

Gabi has the greatest teacher! She took the time to make Gabi a book about her summer trip. The purpose of the book is to help Gabi understand her responsibilities as she travels to go see Nana and Papa. Holding hands, staying close to Mommy in the airport or making good choices as Jeremy and her enter the plane are some of the things that this book helps enforce. The best part is that it is custom made just for Gabi complete with pictures of her and the family. And Jeremy can read the book to her on the airplane trip to help keep her busy. Thank you Miss Elise for caring so much! Gabi has been carrying the book all around and we have read it several times!

Here are some shots of Gabi enjoying her "My Fun Trip" book:






Here are some sample pages from the book:

What a wonderful thing that Michelle did for Gabi. We will make sure that she wears the beautiful necklace while she is visiting us in Florida.

Thank you to Ms. Elis too. Gabi loves to have me read books to her. I am sure that this will be one of her favorite ones to have me read to her.

Gabi and Jeremy will be having a great time visiting... But I'm afraid that mom is the one that will be having a hard time. It's ok Shannon to miss them. I miss my children every day.

Hey! Thanks for voting for my slogan esp. as an unsolicited one! I was laughing with someone else because I just assumed the three people that read my blog would vote if I asked them. and I would have been happy with 4 votes! Thanks for being a great "5th" it made my day!
