Grady & Isaac

Hannah, Mariah & Colby

Grady eating cereal.

Our friends from RMH, Jason, Tiffany, Hannah and Isaac, are in this weekend to finalize Isaac's adoption. They had some free time so they came to visit at our house & then we all went out to eat along with my sister's family. It is so exciting to see how Isaac is growing and developing. Essentially, Grady & Isaac are the same age (they were both due in early November) even though Isaac was born in July & Grady was born in September. We had a lot of fun watching them "play" and comparing notes on things that we notice developmentally and things that we are concerned about. We also enjoyed reminiscing about life at RMH and all the interesting families we met at the house. It was probably one of the hardest times in our lives and yet we have so many good memories of the house and the people we met there.

Unfortunately, Grady did not continue with sleeping thru the night. He has been getting up around 2:00 or 3:00 each night. It is a little frustrating. I was really hoping the cereal would keep him full until morning.

We are still planning on going to church for the first time tomorrow. We are really looking forward to it. Today was Ken's birthday so it will be a nice present to get to go to church tomorrow.

Thank you to Bonnie Swartzentruber for getting me the information I need to hopefully get Grady therapy in our county. The wheels are finally in motion!

I hope you enjoy your worship service and all the people. It will get easier with time!
Love,

p.s. my healthy son didn't start sleeping fully through the night until 9 months...somehow if you can manage to press through, he'll eventually make it through most of the time!
