Hawkins Family Life
Baby Grant is back to his happy self. A bad cold coupled with several teeth coming in made for a grouchy baby for weeks. I was fearful he had entered the terrible twos a little early, but rest assured, once he was sleeping well again (read: could breathe at night), he was back to his charming self.
We had dinner with Grant's birthmom and birth sisters the other night. It was so great to see them. Grant's birthmom said that the girls (ages 2 and 4) are starting to ask questions like "how come our brother doesn't live with us?" My heart went out to her... her decision was so hard, but she tells us all the time how she feels so blessed to have met us because she knows that we truly love Grant. We, of course, feel blessed beyond measure. We look forward to many more dinners out with her.
We've had our first snowfall of the season, and being from California, snow is still a novelty, so I have high hopes for a white Christmas.
I am knee deep in grading, and Bret is hosting a guy from China and another from Japan for two weeks at work. We're busy, busy right now, so it's a good thing that all my Christmas presents are bought and wrapped and under the tree. I hate that my busiest and craziest time at school is right before Christmas. It doesn't allow for a much time to reflect.
Here's a recent "conversation" with Grant. It's long (about 5 minutes), so only the most dedicated members of his fan club should undertake it.
Here's a little message that Grant typed:
vwey7n7n7 u.'; gcwvvdcccccccc yggggg nninnnnn
It says: I love you all very much!
