Four Seasons Reunion

We have been BUSY as bees! Here are some highlights:

*Gabriel and me took at trip to Raleigh on Friday.He did a great job in the car and slept most of the way. We spent Friday night with Cynthia, and hung out with Erin and her little girl Alice (and french bulldog Sophia), and Laura. Saturday we got up early, too early! Cynthia headed to the airport to get Brianne and Jessie, we headed on over to Laura's. On Saturday, we had a big cookout/good-by party for Cynthia (of course it got a little emotional). We found out from Brianne that she is pregnant and due on December 30th!!! We got to see Laura and Travis' new house, which is really looking great and did a little riding in golf carts (which Gabriel loved). Sunday morning, Cynthia and Travis headed off for Dallas (he is driving with her and the dogs). That afternoon, Laura and I had an impromptu baby shower for Brianne and Jessie. Gaby and I got up early on Monday and headed home. Our trip back in the car was not as good, he cried for a solid hour and then FINALLY konked out! We had a wonderful time and it was so good for the "Four Seasons" to have another reunion. I am not sure when the next one will be. Cynthia is now living in Dallas and Brianne is still in Vermont, so only 1/2 of the 4 seasons are still living in NC :(

*Gabriel had his first swim in the pool Monday afternoon and he LOVED it!!!! He was not scared at all and was kicking and splashing around like crazy.

*We had our 4 month check up at the doctor on Tuesday (although he is closer to 5 months, will be on June 10th). Gabriel now weighs 16 pounds, 12 ounces and is 25 1/2 inches tall! He has been eating some really thin rice cereal for the past few weeks and we got the go ahead to begin some fruits and veggies, the doctor is hopeful that this will decrease his reflux.

* We tried green peas and G did not like them at all. He almost gagged and pushed the spoon away from Cedric! We have to wait 3 days to make sure he is not allergic, then we are going to try sweet potatoes.

* Our hot water heater has gone out and is being replaced tomorrow :(

* I am going back to work on Monday....and dreading it! Lucky me though, it is only for 8 days. Then I will be off for the summer. I go back "for real" in August! I will basically just be cleaning up the mess that the contract people that were covering my leave have left, and from what I have heard, I have a pretty good mess to clean up, YUCK. Should be tons of fun. Getting up at 5:50 is going to SUCK.

I am so happy for Brianne! Congratulations Brianne! And I love that you and Laura already had a shower for her :). You guys are good!

Your pics were great. I hope Cyn got to Dallas okay and maybe the other "seasons" should start blogs :).

Gabriel is so cute! I am so sorry I didn't get to meet him. I didn't want to chance him getting sick. I hope I can try to see him again real soon!
