Just Another Saturday

Actually, it's not just another Saturday. My daughter is 2000 miles away, settling into her new life. But, from what I hear ... so far, so good. Hilary's roommate doesn't arrive for another week - she isn't attending the special orientation that Hilary and most of the deaf/hoh kids are attending (although Hilary's roommate is deaf and is a cochlear implant user). Mark told me that it's a good thing they know some sign language because most the staff they've encountered so far are signers. I guess there was a reason he went instead of me - Mark has always been more adept at (and comfortable with) signing than I am.

As Jack and I were enjoying his morning routine, I decided to pull out my old camera (thus the reason it's so grainy) and take a video of clip to share what a typical Saturday morning is like in our house. The only thing missing is Eric, he's usually buzzing around the room like a gnat. (I'm not sure where he was when this was taken.)
