Hi Kieran!
How are you today? I love and miss and very much.
The good news is we get to see one another again in just six days on March 29!
I can’t wait. Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Chris and Aunt Susie have some
Easter presents for you, and of course I’ll be bringing some surprises, too!
Did you have Spring Break this past week or do you go on it
next week? Your cousins Bryan and Rebekah were on Spring Break this past week.
While getting a week off of school was nice when I was a boy, it also got boring
real fast for me! I always missed my friends and learning about new stuff.
Before going home on Spring Break, I always made sure I brought home lots of
books from the library!
Do you get to go to the library and check out books? I miss
not being able to go to the library with you. When we were together in
Lancaster, we went to storytimes at the library and always checked out books to
read at home. Some days we read 10 books! Some days you liked a book so much
that we read just that book 10 times!
Easter is coming up soon. What do you plan to do for the
Easter holiday? I think I mentioned in my last email that you I was eating at
Grandma and Grandpa’s house, where Uncle Chris, Aunt Susie, your cousins Bryan
and Rebekah, and Aunt Susie and Uncle Mark will be getting together for Easter
dinner and the afternoon. We are having ham and prime rib for dinner. Yummy!
I don’t believe you’ve ever met Aunt Sandy and Uncle Mark
(If you did, you were just a baby at the time). Aunt Sandy is Grandma’s sister.
They are very nice and have a big house in Stillwater. They also have a dog, a
very old black and white border collie. They have seen pictures of you, I’ve
told them lots of great stories about you, and they can’t wait to meet you!
In addition to editing and writing books, I have taken up
snowshoeing! As you know, I like to hike, yet hiking in the snow is too
difficult – but it’s not if you have snowshoes! You then can walk almost
anywhere. Snowshoeing does take a lot of energy at first, though, but seeing
new things outdoors is a lot of fun – and so is the steaming cup of hot
chocolate you enjoy afterwards when you go back inside! Would you like to go
snowshoeing one day?
Have you read any good books lately? I have. It was called “Ruthie
and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie,” by Laura Rankin. It was about a little girl
name Ruthie who finds a teeny tiny toy on the school playground. Even though
it’s not her toy, she tells everyone it is and then tells more lies so she can
keep it for herself! Will she get caught lying? You will have to read the book
and find out! I bet you can find it at your school or city library.
Well, that is all for now. You have a good week, and I will
see you Friday afternoon!
Love,
Dad
