On January 28, 2003, Mom, Steph and Aidan (Gabriel's grandmother, aunt and cousin, respectively) flew to California for Gabriel's first birthday. It was great to see the two 1-year-old boys together!

Aidan was great on the plane and didn't wake up

Sisters reunited!

Hey, who are you?

Learning to share?

....maybe.

Classic -- Aidan "talking" on a phone, and Gabriel spinning a wheel!

The ball pit is always a hit

The tent is a big favorite too

A rare moment of the two boys together long enough for a photo

This was the day that we discovered Gabriel's inclination to
scamper away and escape! My chasing days started this day,
his 1st birthday.

Mom and cuddly sweet baby

Finally we found a large grassy area in the hopes that we could
keep track of the constantly escaping Gabriel
