Gabrielle's parents were awaiting the arrival of their first child in a few days. They knew it was a girl and hoped she would arrive on the 10th of the month so that she would have a special bond with her mother, who was also born on the 10th of the month. But, Gabrielle arrived on the 15th, healthy, with ten fingers and ten toes, and smiling. The doctors and nurses said, "what a beautiful baby" and took very good care of her.

Her parents named her Gabrielle, which means "God is my strength."

When Gabrielle was taken home, her parents took good care of her. As the days and months passed Gabrielle grew stronger each day -

eating solid food, playing with her toys, scooting and crawling, and getting into trouble.

What Gabrielle didn't know was that she was going to have many exciting adventures to the park, zoo, beach, and Disneyland.
