The Kunz's







Greg's parents and sister are absolutely a god send for us with regards to Gavin. Not only are they soooooooooo overjoyed to have the little bean in all of our lives, but he has stolen all of their hearts. I never thought I would see Jerry (aka Papa) down on all fours talking gibberish to Gavin. But alas, it has happened and I couldn't be happier. Linda (aka Grandma) needs a Gavin fix about every 4-5 days. We are always very happy to oblige this whim and it is wonderful for us that we have so many loving family members (including my own) that will take him for a night. Aunt Jenny goes way overboard with regards to him with presents and love. She has taken to him like a moth to a flame and vice verse for the little bean. Greg and I are so lucky that we have both our parents and siblings within a 30 mile radius so Gavin can grow up with all this love!


I can't imagine having a child and not having such a support system around me. I know I have friends that do this, but it just could not be me. I love the fact that with a single phone call on speaker I can have my cranky son smiling because Grandma was talking to him or Aunt Jenny was singing to him. Even better when Papa walks in the house and Gavin hears his voice and immediately starts crawling towards it and lighting up like a Christmas tree when he sees him.


Even Great Papa is in awe of the little bean. He constantly says how "pretty" he is. He then goes on to say that he knows boys aren't supposed to be called pretty, but he is so perfect, what else can you call him?? He is very wonderful with Gavin and I love the picture of Gavin with his Daddy, Papa and Great Papa.


With regards to the pictures I attached, I know that Gavin is very small in a few of them, but I just love those pics! Grandma was the first to hold Gavin after Daddy when he was born (because Mommy was in la la land), and the picture attached documents that. Her very first grandchild! A huge moment!


So thank you to the "original" Kunz family, you are appreciated more than you know!
