My Afternoon with Gabe

For Christmas I was given a DSLR, Gabe was given a winnie-the-pooh camera for Christmas (Its just for fun,  it makes a flashing sound). So today we set out into the woods looking for that one-shot to be proud of…I ended up shooting him 90% of the time. The whole thing was an adventure to him.

Before long I noticed that he was my little shadow, when I would walk away from a shot he would mimic everything I did. Honestly I wish his little cam would have taken photos, I am sure his angles were better than mine.

I ended up not getting anything I went out for, but I came home with a million high-fives, good job daddies and more laughs and smiles than I can count. Call me shallow or simple but… How happy must our Father be when we just take two seconds to say thank you, or just to tell him Hi. I think he longs to take us for walks with our trinkets in hand.

Once again, my son has taught me more about who God is than just about anything else.
