Hanging Out 15 floors up

We are hanging out in the room- having a difficult time finding things to do. It's really cold outside, so walking around is a short adventure, we didn't bring anything for him to do, since we didn't know what he would be able to do. T is giving him some math questions and he seems to know how to do math problems.

He really likes music and I think he might sit and watch an MTV type program all day. He likes to listen to classical piano music so Grant's key board may get some time. He is really quiet, but has a nice smile, his face lights up when he is successful at something. He doesn't eat very much and doesn't like sweets, so far- if he hangs out with Kimmy, Garrett and I that might change.

At this point I want to say how thankful we are for such awesome bio kids. Without their support this would be much more difficult, if not impossible to pull off well. They are all so excited to have their new brother and have been so welcoming to new ideas and additional family members. They have not been selfish, since it is Garrett's senior year and we are missing his BB games and Kimmy is planning a wedding and all that comes with that and she is quick to include him in all the plans. No selfishness from any adult children is pretty awesome. God has been gracious to us to allow His love to pour into their hearts and change them.

I was thinking this afternoon what would happen if our new son is too far behind in school to catch up by graduation, or.... There are so many "what-ifs" and no immediate answers. I was quickly- almost immediately- reminded that spiritually I will never catch up to where I "should be" but God has me exactly where He intended me to be- writing and you reading, not doing anything productive when there is work to do, thinking about things that have no clear answer when I want to have everything clear. He doesn't punish our lack because He makes up for every lack in the fullness of Himself. I'm so glad He didn't make a choice based on whether or not I would quickly figure it out- since there is no way I will quickly figure it out.

Wrestling with the name selection and still trying to get T to post something. Maybe later. Give her some encouragement and she might.
