The Gift of Gabi!

My Sister Brittany Made me this book of Gabi for Christmas... It is all of my blog posts from the time I became pregnant with her until now! What a priceless gift! It is one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever been given, not to mention all the time she spent putting it together. Here are a few pictures of it!

One of my favorite Parts was the front cover... she added this poem and it fits Gabi perfectly. I will post it at the bottem so it is easier to read... To all My Friends who have children with Down Syndrome Im sure you will love it as much as I do!







~MY FACE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT
BUT MY FEELINGS THE SAME
I LAUGH AND I CRY
AND I TAKE PRIDE IN MY GAINS
I WAS SENT HERE AMOUNG YOU
TO TEACH YOU TO LOVE
AS GOD IN THE HEAVENS
LOOKS DOWN FROM ABOVE
TO HIM I'M NO DIFFERENT
HIS LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS
IT'S THOSE HERE AMOUNG YOU
IN CITIES AND TOWNS
THAT JUDGE ME BY STANDARDS
THAT MAN HAS IMPARTED
BUT THIS FAMILY I'VE CHOSEN
WILL HELP ME GET STARTED
FOR I'M ONE OF THE CHILDREN
SO SPECIAL SO FEW
THAT CAME HERE TO LEARN
THE SAME LESSONS AS YOU
THAT LOVE IS ACCEPTANCE
IT MUST COME FROM THE HEART
WE ALL HAVE THE SAME PURPOSE
THOUGH NOT THE SAME START
THE LORD GAVE ME LIFE
TO LIVE AND EMBRACE
AND I'LL DO AS YOU DO
BUT AT MY OWN PACE.

I cry everytime I read It! Thank You again Brittany!

PS ... I promise to post about our awesome Christmas Vacation Soon!
