Gabby took her second trip to Dallas last weekend. We were very excited about this special trip because it would be the first time Gabby met her cousins and Aunt Danielle from Japan. Once we arrived we walked in the house and were greeted by 3 squealing little girls and one adorable baby girl, Molly.

Less than 5 minutes after the baptism Gabby made a noise talking to Daddy, (I doubt the people next to us could even hear) the minister came up to me and offered to show me where the day care was. She was very polite and sweet, but I knew I could not exactly refuse. I have never left Gabby with a stranger, not for 30 seconds, so I walked in to the nursery and Gabby instantly began coloring. Once Addison appeared (because the m...
