Happy 19th birthday Gabriel Mariano Cohn.. I am so pleased, grateful and proud to be your dad !

19 years old.. hard to beleive.. but then again.. it’s not. I’ve really enjoyed watchign thsi kid mature into a fine man. He’s funny, smart, strong and quick.. and a really, really nice guy. So nice in fact, thathe went on a hike withcme and dine today.. We headed up preston pond trail up to libys lookout.. it was hot muggy and buggy.. but look at that smile anyway.. that’s Gabe !

 

 

 

we found about 7 places with pitcher plants on our hike.. which was pretty cool !

 

the trails were still wet..

 

the dogs were so hot that they jumped in whatever water they could find.

 

i was digging aroun in the backback we were carrying.. it was sams.. and I found this cool badge that they’d given Sam on his birthday when we spent it at Disney.. it was great finding it on Gabes birthday .

 

aroudn 7 gabe raya. diane and I headed out to Sushi Do for gabes birthday dinner.. Yummy sushi !

 

then home for presents and cake..

 

 

 

a really nice day.. for a really. really nice kid

 

Happy birthday my son.. I’m so proud of you..
