Susan： It's almost ten 0'clock. I've got to go. Tomorrow is Monday, and work begins at eight in the morning for me. Oh, I'm so happy that Max is home. He's the sweetest little thing.

    Ellen： I'll drive you to Grand¹ Grandpa, Robbie, and I can finish wrapping² all these gifts.

    Richard： It's so good to have you home again……and to see Max asleep in his bassinet at home with us.

    Marilyn： To be with our family and all that Stewart TLC.

    Richard： TLC-tender loving care. That's our motto.

    Marilyn： Did you see the washcloth and the towels with the teddy bears on them？ Alexandra and the Molinas sent them for max.

    Richard： It was so kind of them. Now Max has come into everyone's life.

    Marilyn： The house is so alive with him here. The welcome sign over the door. The boxes of presents. The M-Z-X over his bassinet. Robbie put that there. Susan's teddy bear. So cuddly³. The beautiful crib from Mom and Dad.

    Richard： Oh, and Grandpa's baseball glove. You know, it hung over my crib, too. And it hung over Robbie's crib.

    Marilyn： Part of Grandpa's magic？

    Richard： Oh, that's not all. It hung over Susan's crib.

    Marilyn： Part of Grandpa's magic？

    Richard： Oh, that's not all. It hung over Susan's crib.

    Marilyn： The same baseball glove？

    Richard： That's right. Grandpa hangs it there for good luck. He says it always brought him good luck on the baseball team. He believes it'll bring good luck to all the Stewart babies.

    Marilyn： And then he takes it back when Max is ready to use it？

    Richard： Yes, and replaces it with a new glove so the old one will be ready for a new member of the Stewart family

    Marilyn： Grandpa really loves his family, doesn't he？ So do I.

    Richard： And so do I.

    Richard： And so does Max.

    Marilyn： After he eats！
