ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET?

Dear Gabe,

I saw Maurice Sweet this evening at Rocky's concert.  He said to tell you hi and to call him when you get in town.  He's staying at his mom's house helping her with the residents she keeps.  He's over 6 feet tall now, but still has the same soft spoken voice.  His mama is so proud of him.

The boys are settling in just fine.  They have all of the kids wrapped around their fingers.  Even Zack was playing 'peek-a-boo' with Ayden.  And he brought out Mr. Dragon for the little guys to play with.  Can you believe that?  I can, I knew it was just a matter of time.

Today is the first day it hasn't snowed since Friday.  We're going up to the mountains to cut down a Christmas tree on Sunday.  Dad bought the boys hats, gloves and boots the other day so they can go with us.  And although its almost 2 weeks late we're celebrating St. Nicholai on Saturday.  I thought your brothers and sisters had outgrown it, but I thought wrong.  They want to do the shoes too.  We'll set out one of your old shoes as well, just for shits and giggles.

Jim and Deb send their love, as does Miss Ellie.  Her club sent you a package so let me know when you get it so I can tell her.  Also, when you get the Christmas stockings addressed to you from Buffalo, New York could you please try to get a picture of you and the other guys with them?  My friend Debbie would like to have a picture to show the community that donated all the goodies.

Well, its late and I should hit the sack.  I'll be sending a prayer your way, as usual.  Be safe.

Miss you, love you!

Mom~
