Dear Ryan,

We heard about how well you are learning to read new words. That is great! We are so proud of you. You are really smart! What are some of the books you like to read? When Papa and I were going to school they did not teach us how to sound out words, so learning to read was much harder than it is these days. Your Mom told us that you like the toy you bought with the gift card we sent to you for your Birthday. We are glad that you like it so much. Also, we see that you have on the shirt we made for you with the pig on the front. We love you Ryan, Mimi and Papa

Dear Link and Belle

Dear Link and Belle, We miss you very much! Papa and I are enjoying living here in Kentucky. We live in the country where there are a lot of trees and hills. We have seen deer here many times since we have moved to Yosemite, Kentucky. We will show you a picture of one of the deer we have seen recently. This is a boy deer. The hunters call him a buck. You can see that he is a buck because he has antlers. The girl deer are called does. Did you guys know that? Another picture we have for you is of Papa sitting on an ATV. We were checking it out to see if it was a good one to buy. We went for a ride on it together on a hill. Mimi did not want to go on the ride with Papa at first because she was afraid that Papa did not know how to drive it safely on a big hill. Papa is a safe driver, so we did not get hurt. We love you, Mimi and Papa (Gasman)
