When Adam told our kid's babysitter she'd be watching the kids for us while we attended a Law Review Banquet, she remarked, "oh boy--sounds like a ton of fun." I was actually very excited for our date at the downtown Hilton. It was their annual awards banquet where we'd also hear from two honored guests, the Attorney General and a former state Supreme Court Justice.
That evening, three awards were given for "editorial excellence displayed as a staff member of the Oregon Law Review". He was not expecting to hear his name, so when the managing editor announced Adam was the recipient of one of the three Maxine Lee Awards, he was holding Robbie in his arms and hesitated before deciding to take Robbie with him to receive his award.

Of course, that made the event all the more meaningful. For me, it highlighted Adam's hard work and diligence as a student and as a wonderful father and husband. I was thrilled to have both recognized in front of his classmates and advisers--one in the form of an award for editorial excellence, the other in the form of a peacefully sleeping newborn son.And as you can imagine, since Robbie was the only newborn in the room (the only one under 18 for that matter), Adam's classmates just adored him. Even the Attorney General asked to know at what hospital Robbie was born. LOL
Way to go Adam! We think you're pretty cool too. It must have been that intense paper writing while we were visiting that did the trick... :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture. Tara told me that you guys had a fun time and it was so neat when Adam brought Robbie up to accept his award.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Adam! I'm am so proud of you both! You're doing great things, and doing them well. It honestly gave me goose bumps to read about Adam bringing Robbie up to receive the award. It's the perfect picture of a successful father. I hope you know I think the world of you two! :)
ReplyDeletePS - John had a dream last night that he was talking to President Faust, who mentioned that he and Adam had done some projects together in the past and he was very impressed with Adam. They were so tight in fact that President Faust referred to Adam as "Double A."
