February 26, 2007

Aloha! I arrived home last night from a relaxing, fun week in Kauai, Hawaii, with my cousin and his wife. We had a grand time. I traveled from 80 degree balmy weather, light trade winds, blue sky and ocean, white sand, umbrella drinks, wonderful food, tanned and refreshed to cold, rain and wind. Uff da.

Rand was glad to see me today but I don't think he was as lonely as he was at Christmas. He said, "I had a wonderful baby -" then tried to correct himself but couldn't find the word birthday. He had lots and lots of visitors, tons of cards, there is candy everywhere! There is a beautiful bunch of tulips growing in a huge glass vase/tub/container from friends, plus balloons and cookies galore! I understand that he also had two birthday cakes and champagne on his big day! Thank you for taking such good care of him while I was gone. He marveled at every card and note, shook his head in amazement that so many people would take the time to send him birthday greetings! I called him on his birthday and he had some trouble understanding who I was. When he figured it out, he was surprised and talkative. Tomorrow we'll have another little birthday celebration.

All is well. I left Rand with Jennie, the speech therapist. She and I are going to meet next Monday to talk about Rand's progress and potential. Rand will not be in on the conversation, nor is he aware of it.

Thank you again and again for being there for Rand. He is happy as a clam!

Love,
Connie
