Together at Last!

As I mentioned before, I am blessed with two beautiful stepdaughters. Due to circumstances beyond our control Gavin had never met them until last weekend. Gabe and I were really excited and I couldn't wait to see Gavin with his "sisters". I took Friday off and we drove to Fort Worth. I was worried about how Gavin would do during the long car trip, but he did great. He even slept part of the way. We met the girls Friday night for dinner. Gavin seemed to take to them right away. The next morning Gabe went to his youngest daughters football game while Gavin slept in. He had stayed up pretty late the night before and I wanted him to be well rested for the rest of the day. Yep, you heard me right, Gabe's youngest plays flag football. I thought the fact that she is the only girl on the team is pretty cool. I am sure Gabe was a very proud father that morning.




Gabe and the girls came back to the hotel to pick us up after the game. The weekend before was his older daughter's birthday so she got to open her gifts before we headed to lunch. Gavin was so excited to see his sisters again. He sat on the couch with them and posed for some pics, which he never does. It was so nice to see the three of them together.





After the mini birthday party we then headed out for some lunch. I just love this picture. Gavin wanted to hold both of their hands.



After lunch we headed to Ripley's Believe it or Not in Grand Prairie. It was so much fun! Gavin did so well in the museum with his sisters. They had a wax sculpture of everyone and anyone. They also had a mirror maze and some lazer obstacle that Gabe LOVED. We all had a blast.












Gavin cried so much when we had to drop off the girls. He was instantly in love and I couldn't be happier. We are planning another trip for November and December. I can't to see what the future holds for our awesome family!
