David & Vanessa + One: 'Twas The Season...
http://familiadurrant.blogspot.com/2012/01/twas-season.html
Monday, January 9, 2012. The excitement and deep sense of gratification that I experience when finding gifts for my most loved ones is awesome. The last part of my semester was so intense and busy, I barely had a chance to eat or shower. Unfortunately the event fell in the middle of this madness, and it did not work out. I was really disappointed. But since I've been working on not being so hard on myself, I tried to just roll with the punches on that one. As we put our christmas tree next to our menorah...

Sunday, November 15, 2009. Life is busy and a bit crazy on our end. These are pictures of our adventures this summer. We had lots of fun going to Utah, taking David and Gabriel to their first trip to New York, watching Gabriel's excitement over his first beach trip and just tubing and having fun on the Potomac River at my parents house. This summer went by too fast, it is almost winter! Enjoying a beautiful sunset at the beach with my handsome boys. I love them so much. So excited to be at the beach.

David & Vanessa + One: March 2010
http://familiadurrant.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Our little baby is a year old now. Time has flown by way too fast and at the same time I feel like I have known Gabriel my entire life. I love this child so much, he is such a special kid. He melts my heart every single day and my life would be so boring without him. He has gone in and out of being a good sleeper and it all depends on whether he is teething or sick. Poor kid, it breaks my heart and sleep, haha! How can we not be in love with such an awesome child? It was cute....

David & Vanessa + One: Growing on Up
http://familiadurrant.blogspot.com/2012/01/growing-on-up.html
Wednesday, January 25, 2012. My baby boy is growing up. He is growing up way too fast actually. I've been having a really hard time with this reality lately. For the last couple of weeks i've been on the brink of tears and have actually had two mini-breakdowns stemming from the reality that he is getting older and that time is not stopping for me to take all of this in. Gabriel and all of his toddler class friends. Missing are his friends Arden and Patrick. Posted by David and Vanessa.

David & Vanessa + One: January 2011
http://familiadurrant.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 3, 2011. It was cute. He liked his new surroundings. He ran free at the beach, he is such a free spirit. Christmas eve was spent on the beach. Of course, all I brought were boots and jeans and sweaters. Somehow we didn't pack shorts or flip flops! So we didn't look very "beachy" at the beach. But it was still an incredible time in my boots, ha. Gabriel made a gf at the beach. Of course, she is older. It takes a mature girl to handle Gabriel's old soul! Posted by David and Vanessa.

Thursday, May 24, 2012. Three year old Gabriel! Wowwe have a three year old in the house! For almost 4 months now! And we love it. Gabriel had a great birthday. We started off his special day by recording him first thing in the morning (a tradition) as we sung him happy birthday and gave him his gifts. I just love getting him on video, as he first wakes up in the morning. Seeing Gabriel in the morning is my favorite thing. And finally, here is my wrap up on Gabriel as a 3 year old:. He's coping with his ...

David & Vanessa + One: A Weekend with Tia & Andre
http://familiadurrant.blogspot.com/2012/02/weekend-with-tia-andre.html
Thursday, February 2, 2012. A Weekend with Tia and Andre. On Saturday we went to a park and flew Gabriel's kite. Gabriel fed the ducks with "leaves" and just had a fun time. That evening we watched a movie and ate donuts from a local donut shop that makes amazing donuts! My favorite is the powdered one with raspberry filling! Gabriel loves the donut holes, which he calls his "baby donuts". On Sunday we went to the Science Museum and enjoyed all the cool exhibits they had! Posted by David and Vanessa.
