What a great trip!
Just getting back from paying the Hong Kong Hawkins a visit. We had a great time. Hong Kong was wonderful and Bangkok was super fun. And let's not forget, it was so so so good to get to spend time with Betsey, Richard, Nora and Calvin. Love you guys so much.

Happy Emily Day!
We love our Emily! Hope your birthday is just fantastic. Emily is full of style and fun.
Blonde or brunette, Emily is the best!
She's a natural with the babies. They all love her.
And she is the best employee of Urban Outfitters. This is an Urban in San Francisco. I took the picture for Emily because I love her and Urban reminds me of Emily.
We miss you so much and think that you should start saving your pennies for a trip to Hong Kong. 
Thanks for always watching horrible movies with us. Thanks for being Claudia's Bestie. Thanks for always recommending wonderful foods and having an excellent appetite. Thanks for being the puzzle champion. We love you, Emily! Happy Birthday!Sunday, March 6, 2011
It's Your Birthday, Ryan
And we love you.
Not just because you are funny and are easy to make laugh. And good at making other people laugh.
Not just because you have three fantastic ladies in your family.
Not just because you are smart and good at fixing things.
Not just because you are rivaling dad for owning the most cars.
And not just because we are related to you.
We love you because you are GREAT and honestly, who couldn't love Ryan!?!?
Hope your day is wonderful. I'll never forget how you stood up for me in Elementary school when that bully was picking on me. You are the best older brother.
FYI, we need to take more pictures of you when we are together! This is the extent of my Ryan photos! LAME!

Happy Birthday, Daddy-O!
To the best Dad in the world. Happy Birthday! Thanks for playing grappling grizzlies. Thanks for making the best lasagna. Thanks for sending us all to college. Thanks for taking us all on bike rides, canoe rides, and walks. Thanks for loving your grandchildren. We all love you! 
Thanks for installing a pool in the house. Even though it was after we all left. Thanks for reading us stories when we were little. Thanks for giving us all your great work ethic. 
Hope you have a perfect day! I hope it includes a quiet day at work. A simple evening with mom, maybe some Papa Murphey's pizza, an episode of Seinfeld and Two and a Half Men, some time on the eliptical and then onto bed at 8:30 p.m. Maybe if your lucky, Claudia will make you a carrot cake! WE sure love you and can't wait for your visit in a few weeks!
Happy Birthday, Brandon
Here's to Brandon! My favorite Brother-in-law! He's smart, kind, patient and funny. Happy Birthday, Brandon! I hope Margie spoils you today with lots of delicious food and thoughtful presents!

Queen for a Day (and not just Queen of Hearts!)
So today is Casey's birthday, and we are all hoping it has been a wonderful, happy time. Casey, did the Birthday Bird come to your house and leave donuts? Did he put a poster up celebrating the day? Maybe since it's Valentine's Day he left a heart shaped poster with heart cupcakes.
Whatever he did to help you enjoy your day, we all wish the same thing--Happy Happy Birthday!

SuperBowl Alternatives
I wish that every extended Gimbel Family member would post a blog today as an alternative/or in addition to whatever Superbowl activities they may be doing. Whether or not anyone will even check the blog today remains to be seen, but I will start out with a little walk down memory lane. I was cleaning up my school email, which was set up at least five years before we got the internet at home in January 2003. I found this cute little picture of Margie and Brandon when they first started dating. The picture is from early 2002, can't remember the date, but maybe Margie or Brandon will. I sure love you and miss you all.

The Newest Little Gimbel
Edward and Meridth are the proud parents of Edward Felix Gimbel, who was born last night, January 12, 2011 at around 10:30 at night. He weighed 8 pounds and 5 ounces. He was 20 inches long. Meridth had been in pain for a good part of the afternoon and evening, and delivered about a half hour after arriving at the hospital (same story as Betsey; no time for medication!)
Mother and son are resting comfortable in the hospital while wonderful Aunt Adrienne is having a party with Uschi! I hope these details are all correct, but will defer to new posts from the proud parents!

Remembering 26 Years Ago
As I was getting ready for church this morning, I couldn't stop thinking about Karl, and his impending birthday. I was remembering what a good baby he was, and how I knew he would be the last new little gimbel to be born, so I especially wanted to treasure the experience!
I am so grateful that he got to come to our family, and what joy he has added to our lives.
Karl, we hope you have a wonderful day. You will be in our thoughts all day long!
Love you! Mom and Dad

My friend Steve sent me this picture from a few years back. Good for a chuckle... why do I have so many shoes?
