    Time: 1:00 pm
    Place:
    Cranston Lanes

    You are invited to participate in a Bowl-A-Thon in memory of Gabriel Eric Nava. All proceeds will go to CHERUBS to help families affected by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Come bowl with us, enjoy some pizza (and of course cake) & have fun with family and friends!

    Everyone is welcome to join us for cake and pizza even if you don’t bowl! Feel free to meet family and friends to cheer along our bowlers and help us remember Gabe for his second birthday in heaven. If you would like to attend please RSVP and let us know you are part of our “cheering squad”!


    I have also set up a firstgiving page if you are interested in sponsoring. You can find the page at:

    I can't believe our angel's 2nd birthday is coming up!! It does not feel like 2 years - does it? I wish I could come, maybe next year when the girls are older. The day sounds like it will be loads of fun!! I know you will have fun planning, let me know if you need anything

    Steve keeps talking about our trip to Salem next year I don't even have to remind him!

    No, it doesn't feel like two years have gone by. Some days lately it feels like it was all just a bad dream.... very surreal. Other days I can just about smell the hospital and remember every little detail. It's crazy to think that we would have a 2 year old boy running around the house right now. It's hard to imagine what that would be like.

    You definitely have to come here next year! We really should plan a CHERUBS Salem trip next October. Who else is in??? Dawn- You said that you wanted to go!

    I was feeding Lily last night and just kept thinking about what it would be like to have a two year old tugging at me also - all I could do was cry. I am very emotional about Shannon lately.

    We will defnitely be there for Gabe's Birthday next year! I cannot WAIT for our Salem trip!

    What kind of cake are you making for Gabe's birthday, I can't wait to see
