Day 1163 – Grayson’s Journey


Dear family and friends
Things haven’t slowed down much at work (for both Regina and I) and it appears that this pace will continue for another month or so. To top it all off, on Sunday I came down with a touch of food poisoning or the worlds quickest passing stomach flu. I wound up out of action for 24 hours – missed dinner with Austin and Xixi (they were here for dinner) and a day of work. It will all be there when I return tomorrow!
Sadly this past weekend we put Christmas away – or most of it anyway. The tree ornaments remain and there are several boxes of these treasures that we have collected since before we were married. Each year we add one or two ornaments to the collection based on something special during the year. We need to get a larger tree every year to hold them all! With all of the decorations packed away, the house always looks so drab. However in 10 months, we’ll be pulling the boxes back down again!
We are back into the regular routine here at home. Maria arrives at 9:30 to get Grayson up and through his day. She keeps him busy until 4:30 when one of us arrives to take over. Grayson has been quite alert – I suspect a byproduct of the exercise and skiing that he was doing. The challenge for us is to keep up that level of activity. We hope to get back to Mammoth one more time this winter which will help, but we really need to find something that will interest him in being active off the snow. Meanwhile he is happy and smiling!
Pax!
Brant
