It has been almost a year since I posted on Gabriel's blog. He is an active toddler, which means Mommy and Daddy have almost no time to be adults anymore. Thomas (under the name Eric) has been working very hard on his preemie advocacy platform, and his book that he wrote about our NICU experience is in its final stages before he starts submitting it to publishers. In the meantime, we have been interviewed by the Seattle Times and have had a meeting with Swedish Hospital's ethics committee, both regarding the edge of life decisions that we had to make in 2012.

And just for fun, here is the short cell phone video of Gabriel putting his favorite Trader Joe's greek yogurt into the little kid cart. He knows exactly where in the store they keep this, and it is conveniently at todder level
