Gabe and his Dad!

Gabriel had a GREAT visit with his father. He loved having his dad here and all of the undivided attention that his father gave to him. They spent a lot of time playing outside, watching movies, sword fighting, ninja fighting, wrestling and goofing off together. Gabriel loved having someone to throw the ball and shoot guns with. In fact... Gabriel's favorite game was 'Go get it'. He would take a toy or ball over to Thom- get Thom's attention- throw whatever he had in his hand as far as he could and tell Thom, 'go get it Thom'. Gabe loved this game- he had his own personal 'go getter'. Thom was a good sport about the whole thing and went 'fetching' time and time again. You know a father loves his son when he will play a game like that over and over with him. Thom got a kick out of all of the funny things Gabriel says and out of his very stubborn (at times) attitude. He was surprised at how stubborn Gabriel can be and now knows how hard it can be to keep a straight face when Gabe is being naughty. I think Thom was pleased to see how obedient Gabe is and how quickly and sincerely he will apologize when he does something wrong. It was fun to watch these two playing and running around together all week. I am not sure which one adores the other more?!?!? We are grateful that Thom makes the time to fly out and see his son and for all that he does to care for and spend time with Gabe.
