Dear Daddy...

Dear Daddy,

We MISS you so much! We know that you are having a great time out at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland, but we want you back at home. Mommy says that you have another week of school. We really miss doing "big eyes" and "who's crazy?" and "rocket rides" with you up the stairs. Mommy says that we have been very good.

Mommy's friend, Shannon, came to visit this week. Benjamin and I have been very busy entertatining her with blocks, puzzles, playing dinosaurs, and watching Sleeping Beauty. She is more fun than Mommy who always seems to be doing dishes, laundry, or vacuuming.

Today, we took Shannon to Weston, MO for a little antiquing. Mommy told us, "no touching, only use your eyes". Benjamin would not listen and had to leave the store with Mommy. Because I am such a big girl, I got to stay in the stores and shop with Shannon!

After shopping, we went to have a late lunch at O'Malleys Irish Pub. Mommy took some pictures of us and convinced our waitress to do the same.

Do you miss us? We are counting down the days until you come home.

Love,

Mary Catherine

P.S. Today was Show-n-Tell at preschool. Our theme was snow and Mommy let me take my new snow globe that Grandma Kueter gave me at Christmas.
