gavin's birthday weekend

It is hard to believe our little man is 3 years old! We had a ball this weekend celebrating together. First we took him on a train ride...he had been waiting "patiently" since we moved here to go on the train...he loved it. Then we went to the aquarium on Sunday. It was great, we saw dolphins, manatees, sea turtles and all kinds of exotic sea creatures. The only weird thing is...we see these guys all the time in the ocean now. We decided not to get a family pass because we prefer to see these wild creatures in the wild, not at an aquarium. Every time we are at the beach I feel like we are on Discovery Channel. We are constantly amazed at the things we see and the creatures we find. When we went boating we had dolphins coming up close enough to touch and jumping out of the water for us, like a show at Sea World. Josh found live sea urchins, blue-claw crabs, huge tulip snails, star fish, sand dollars, even a gorgeous sea turtle. On Monday, Gavin's actual birthday, he and I spent the afternoon at the beach, building sand castles and chasing the "big waves". I feel so blessed to have this little boy in my life, he is such a joy!


Now we are waiting for the arrival of our next little man. Hard to believe Gavin will have a little brother in a few days! We are finishing all the unpacking and hoping baby gives us one more week to get settled. We are so excited to meet him and see what he looks like. Will he have the curls like Gavin, will he have the kids brown eyes or his mom's blue eyes. Gavin prays every night for his little brother and kisses mom's tummy "good-night". The girls are so excited they are about to burst! They insist I will not have to change a single diaper or even pick him up when he cries, they are going to do it all they say! This baby will be blessed with three moms to care for him and love on him. Josh's staff at school surprised him with a baby shower yesterday and blessed us enormously! What incredible people he works with...


We will post again when we have some baby pictures to share!



Love, The Longenecker Gang

Josh, Harmony, Addy, Aubrey, Gavin...and baby
