Day 764 – Grayson’s Journey

Dear family and friends

Today was the start of the last work week of the year for me (unfortunately not for Regina.) As of tonight I only have three remaining work days to get all of my work done for 2012 – now that is a scary thought!

Advent at the Reed Haus, after a delayed start due to our visit to see Regina's dad, is now in full swing. More decorations are up every day, packages are being wrapped, the Christmas menu and schedule for the day has been worked out, and the shopping is miraculously complete (thanks primarily to online shopping and a spouse that always has it under control!) I still need to go to the store to get a beast to roast, but I can't remember a time when things seemed so calm. Perhaps we are older and wiser, perhaps we are better planners, or perhaps we just lowered our expectations! The fact is I am so excited for Christmas, to hear the first carols at church, and to hear again of the miracle of our Savior's birth.

Grayson was a bit of a conundrum today. He was quite slow this morning but this evening he was able to answer some difficult questions with accuracy. He wouldn't sit still for lunch or dinner, but he went to bed tonight and stayed there without getting up. It is like he is having a good and a bad day at the same time. I have no idea what to expect tomorrow!

Pax!
