Here’s a copy of
weekly email sent to you on March 2, 2013, in case you don’t receive it:
Hi Kieran,
How are you doing today? I’m doing fine, though I miss you
like crazy! I had so much fun with you get together you could bring the Batman
puzzle that was in it, and we could make it together. I’m also glad you enjoyed
the candy. Grandma wasn’t feeling well on Friday, so she didn’t have a chance
to make her Easter cupcakes for you, but she promised to do so for the next
time we get together, which is in four weeks on March 29.
I’m also very happy that you liked the dragon Hot Wheels set
and the cool cars to play with it. That was neat how the cars would go down the
ramp on only one set of wheels where the dragon had “bitten out” the roadway! I
shall have to look at the toy store for a race track like the center has.
What adventures are you taking your toy archer and ninja on
today? I bet they will battle a very dangerous dragon. Make sure to feed the
dragon whole wheat so that it can’t breathe fire – then you’ll be able to capture
it for the zoo!
This week may be the last you’ll be able to make snowmen
this winter. The weather is supposed to get very warm this week – warm enough
to make the snow melt. When spring and the snow melt came while I was in school
and about your age (well, a little older), we used to make dams out of the
runoff and the remaining snow. Here’s a
newspaper
column I once wrote about it.
Making the eggs in school with the balloons and plaster of Paris
sounds like fun. Do you next get to paint the eggs?
Have you read any good books lately? I have. I recently read
“Bunny’s Easter Egg” by Anne Mortimer. It’s about a bunny rabbit who looks a
lot like your new stuffie, Soccer. After a long night of hiding Easter eggs, the
bunny rabbit can’t find a comfortable place to sleep. Will Bunny be able to go
to sleep? You’ll have to find out be reading the book. I bet it’s in your
school or city library.
Before I go, I just want you to know that I have not
received your emails for the past eight weeks or your report card (via email or
by giving me a copy on Friday as requested in last week’s email). Please have
your mother resend your emails and your report card.
I love and miss you very much! I look forward to reading all
of your resent emails, as well as your response to this one, and to seeing you
again no later than March 29.
Love,
Dad
Your picture appeared in an online magazine last week! Every few weeks I write an article about hiking for Seattle Backpackers Magazine and usually send along photos to go with the text.
