Feliz Cupleanos Gabriela!!

Happy 7th Birthday Gabi !!

Gabi came forever home on Christmas Day... in a blink of an eye , this spunky little 14 month old that came forever home from an orphanage crib to her olive green bedroom and full of smiles is now a spunky 7 year old whose smile is endless and creates one where ever she goes...i have been given such a joy in watching each precious phase she goes through and cherish that she is still a mommy's girl who still loves to listen to a book and can now read to me, who loves to cuddle and is one to give the cuddle just because or when i am the one not feeling well, who still needs a hug when she gets a boo boo, who still loves her back rubbed to fall asleep.. Gabi is a caring big sister at the end of the day and when her sisters need her most. Gabi is in 1st grade , has many friends and doing great . Gabi is a high green belt in martial arts karate. Gabi shared her birthday with her sisters and friends at the ice rink ice skating and everyone had a great time...The only thing Gabi missed was having her grandparents (Ga and Papa ) at her party but spoke to them on the phone and shared her love and how much she misses them and sent an Xxoo back and then some! .. birthday kisses and hugs on the phone to them....long distance is hard when it comes to family celebrations....Gabi and her sisters miss their ga and papa very much .

I knew in my heart the day in January when i was sent the picture of this precious baby of 3 months old , i was looking at my daughter for the very first time and fell in love...that was the day God spoke to my heart and this family began.... Gabi you truly are a blessing and we love you....Happy 7th Birthday !!
