Good-bye Dear Grant. 'Till We Meet Again.

-


Our beloved friend Grant the Gerbil passed away on Friday, December 19th, 2025 in Loyd's loving hands.  Grant lived a good life.  He was 5 years old and brought all of us a lot of joy and fun.  He was Loyd's guy. Loyd would hurry home every day from school to hold and play with his fuzzy little friend.  Grant loved to eat, chew crazy amounts of cardboard, and run around on Loyd's bed exploring for great spots to burrow into the blankets.  Grant was gentle. He never bit anyone and was so patient with little children when they wanted to pet him and feel his silky, black fur.  He loved to wink at Loyd, and this gave Loyd a big smile every single time.  Grant was a beloved member of our family and will be greatly missed.  His brother Jay Burino morns his loss the most.  It will be lonely without him.  Thank you for the gift of your loving and kind life, Grant.  We love you and miss you!

Dustin and I took Loyd, Xavier, and Maeve to see one of their favorite bands, AJR, in concert in Salt Lake.  We went to see the AJR: Somewhere in the Sky concert!  It was so GREAT!  We had a fun listening to all the opening bands and hanging out people watching. Maeve ditched us to sit with her friend as soon as she found out she was there too.  Maeve screamed and cheered so much she was horse for the next day.  :D It was a lot of fun.  We definitely would do it again. :D

Not much to tell from our end of Texas. We've just been keeping busy keeping busy. We have started doing a small story time on Wednesdays with a few friends. The kids love it. Rebekah likes spending time with the other kids and Loyd adores doing the finger plays. I'm sure Great Grandma Young is helping him learn all the actions. He's really quite good at them and picks up the plays rather quickly. Loyd also went in for his 18 month old well baby visit. Everything is looking good for our young man. He is tall and skinny and seems to be ahead of the curve on his developmental milestones. The pediatrician was impressed. Rebekah is turning into quite the social butterfly. She loves to play with her friends. She would have them come over every day, all day if she could. When they have to go home she turns to Loyd and spends the rest of the afternoon telling him what to do. She taught him a few games with some carpet squares and has him trained on how to play a good g...
