Dear Ryan,

Dear Ryan, How are you doing? We miss you! Do you like going to school? Are you learning to read more new words? I love to read new words too. Did you know that there are words that are new to me too? It is true! There are some words that are hard for me to say and there are words that I do not know the meaning of. I think it is fun to learn, do you? Do you read at home? What is your favorite book? We have some pictures that we want to send to you, but we have not yet gone to the picture store to make them into paper pictures yet. We will send them as soon as we can. Will you draw me a picture and ask your Mom to send it to us? She can send it on the computer if she wants to, or you can send it in the mail. Guess what? Papa and I saw two deer yesterday. We live very close to where the deer live, that is why we see them so much. Papa feeds them corn. Did you know that deer like to eat corn? Do you like corn? I do. I like popcorn too. It was fun talking to you on the phone the other day. Be a good boy. We love you bunches, Mimi and Papa 10-25-08
