Gabriel turns ONE

may you grow up to be righteous
may you grow up to be true
my you always know the truth
and see the lights surrounding you
may you always be courageous
stand upright and be strong
may you stay forever young

i am playing major catch up here but posting photos that were taken weeks and weeks ago! you may remember gabriel from his sneak peek a while back, his parents neal & lisa are some of our oldest friends going all the way back to college. since graduating we have lived close enough to each other while the boys were in medical school and residency to be able to occasionally get together for dinner or brunch or a birthday party here or there. we are so thankful for their friendship and have been blessed to have lived so close for all these years but those days are over (yay, for neal being finished with residency!!) and they are off on another adventure as lisa starts grad school at harvard (yep, we have some pretty smart friends).  before the big move they asked me to take some photographs of gabriel and their family. i am was so honored to spend this time with you guys and i hope you enjoy the photos.
lisa wanted to be sure to capture the details, like the little indentions on his knuckles, his pudgy little toes, and those beautiful long eye lashes. they also brought along some special mementos to be included in the photos like the silver rattle, UNC hat, rubber ducky, and maternity photo.
in honor of our alma mater. rah, rah, carolina-lina!
we will miss you guys but are excited for you as you embark on this new adventure.

may the road rise up to meet you. may the wind be always at your back. may the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. 
and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
