Gabriel,

Your room is ready for you, and it looks great!  We have been working hard, preparing, painting, and decorating your room.  Your big brother Jack was a huge help!  You’ll get to know this, but I love fixing up and building things for my family.  It is so special to me that I got to work on your room, and when we lay you down in your crib, you’ll be sleeping in a room that was filled with our family’s hard work, music, laughter, and prayers.
