Back to the Doctor

After visiting the doctor last week we had to return again.  Everett developed some sort of rash on his wrist. I wasn't sure what it was but Liz saw it today during our playdate and told me it was most likely ringworm! I have never seen this, so off to the doctor we went.  It was confirmed - he has RINGWORM! We have no idea how he got it but its itchy and contagious so we have to keep it covered around other kids!

My First Time Babysitting

Ross turned 33 today and I got the best present of all - the chance to watch Ryan while Michele took him out!  Ryan mostly slept which was nice quiet time for me but when she did wake up I got her to give me the biggest smile!  She is just the cutest!!

Christmas 2011

One night I was on the phone with Jenn and she said that Charles & Dad decorated the tree and it's done! I have never missed a tree decorating so I immediately called Charles and demanded he take down the decorations and we would be there that weekend to decorate! Well he did and we were there! Everett had a lot of fun with Uncle Charwarles - he is such a great Uncle.  The tree came out great (it included our Menorah decorations) and we all had a blast!

We celebrated Christmas at The Casper's and it was very nice. Everett had a great time with his 2nd cousins! The next day we went to Dad's and opened all the gifts from Santa and the family. Everett loved every second of it and we all stayed in our PJ's!

 



All the Cousins



The Doctor Will See You Now...

Everett is such a good patient. He has had a cold for a while now so we brought him to the doctor. He has no fear and goes right to the table. It is so cute to watch him interact with Dr. Halek.

Hanukkah Chanuka Hanukah

On the first night of Hanukkah we went to see the Tree at Rockefeller Centre. Everett loved it for all of 2 minutes and then we went to the lego store! We wandered over to St Patrick's Cathedral which Everett thought was a castle! It was beautiful inside and Everett and I lit a candle for Mom. It was a very sweet moment!

This year for Hanukkah all the Gabel's did a "Secret Santa".  It was so much fun to get together and share all the gifts. Everett had a great time and was pooped after.  Grandma was the best gift of all!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Coolest Kids Party

Suzanne was so nice to invite us to the family day at Viacom. They had an entire day mapped out of activities and special guests. Everett and Loren got to Build a Bear, meet SpongeBob & Dora make cookies, get tattoos and the BEST of all meet The Fresh Beat Band. Everett and Loren were star struck! It was such a great day and we are so thankful we were invited! Thanks Rosenthal's!

Who Does Your Hair???

Everett is very into doing everyone's hair with all my clips. He loves to put as many clips as he can in your hair.  He has an entire box of clips and utensils for hair styling! Here are his recent clients:

Nanny



Nicki



Mommy





SHE'S HERE!

Ryan Summer Gabel joined the world on November 16, 2011 at 9:55am. She was 8lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. We are so excited to have a baby Gabel girl in the family - I think Everett is the most excited!  Michele & Ross are adjusting to life with their tiny miracle. 
We couldn't be happier for them!

Daddy needs SLEEP!



"How can something so small need so much stuff"!
LOL!!!! Welcome to PARENTHOOD!
Can you find Ryan...?



Drums, Cookies, Park & Dancing in NYC

A Day in Central Park

Ivan had Everett partake in a short Internet segment at Susan Blond's apartment. The best part about it was that Everett got a chance to play the drums - he's a natural! After, Ivan, Michelle and Everett all went to Central Park. Everett is such such a city kid!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Barry

Barry & Sam came to visit while Nan was in town! We celebrated Barry's birthday with a cake and Everett helped blow out the candles! We all had such a nice visit and can't wait to see them again!

You Better Watch Out.....Nanny is Coming to Town!

Nan has made up her mind and she is coming back to NY for GOOD.  We are all so excited and can't wait to have her here!  She tried out her new home at the Atria and Everett & I surprised her there! She was shocked and so excited! She will be here officially in the Spring!

To Stitch or Not To Stitch...

Well, we knew it was bound to happen....

Everett slipped off his chair at school and hit his chin on the edge of the table. It wasn't too deep but there was still that question - do we stitch or just use a band aide. After visiting the pediatrician and speaking to Papa Roger Simpson I decided to head to the ER.  Since it was just a small cut, we had them use Derma bond which is like a glue.  It was definitely easier than strapping him down. Everett was such a champ! When they used a device to squirt water directly into the cut he didn't make a peep.  I was so proud of him.  Now Everett Daddy & Mommy all have matching scars under their chins!
