abc's

I almost burst into tears on Thursday. Chad called for the first time in 3 weeks, and my day had been quite stressful. It was so awesome to hear how good he sounds. He and his companions are somewhere over the New York state line, and continue to amaze me with their endurance, both spiritual and physical. Henry got to talk to him too, and he was jibber-jabbering about something, while pointing to his lego tower made of orange legos, all the while signing orange! What a multi-tasker! And then I signed the ABC's and Henry said all of them so Chad could hear. Chad was suitably impressed but not at all surprised by his godson's savantian qualities. And also, Chad's dad sent a picture of him with Tree Girl and Two Shoes (?), and Henry keeps pointing at it and saying, "Chad!", and "green!" (He's wearing a green shirt.) Henry also wants to give a shout-out to his newest little cousin, baby Dillon James Moore, born to my oldest male cousin and his lovely wife, Adam and Heather. Let's all welcome him... WELCOME, Dillon! It's a cool world and we hope you have fun!
