Yum Yum Yum

Apples are yummy, hello gramma and grampa.  I just wanted to send a little hello to you and say I miss you.  Mommy and daddy miss you too.  Mathey has an upset stomach so we are going to take him to his doctor tomorrow.  Mommy has a cough that she says is only here because she's not sleeping lots and lots like the good ole' days...whatever that means.  Daddy wants to run to your house this weekend so he can be as skinny as he can for the weigh scale as it's the last one before he meets 'the guys' on the 8th.  Mommy says we may go see horses then.  I thought Mathey was a horse.  When the clouds go away, the sun is still warm but we bring jackets with us now.  Hope the sun is shining for you both. xoxo Benjamin

August 30 - so I can drive now.

Hello Gramma and Grampa,

Today was rainy, but I made the very very best of it. Daddy had the morning off so we all went for a stroll to Tim's (does saying Tim's make you want coffee Grampa?) and back, and mommy and I spent the afternoon doing laundry (some things mommy does are pretty boring but she tries to make it fun by stomping up the stairs to me waiting at the top) and then daddy and I played all evening, and I helped daddy work on his stereo for the Landcruiser. Daddy and I laugh a lot together.

I hope you are having such a lovely time, sleeping in whenever you can, golfing good games, and seeing the sights. Trisha sent us an email saying she had the loveliest time with you.

Miss you both
Benjamin

Hello gramma and grampa,

I hope you are both having a wonderful time and bring home a little Scottish accent when you come back.
The Sandhills are fantastic, we all played, jumped, dug, crawled, ate, and wore sand for a day and a half. They are truly incredible, in the south part of our province. We all had a great time. I didn't keep mommy and daddy up in the tent, and to prove how much I've grown, I slept through the nights, both of them. To prove how happy I was to have mommy and daddy beside me, I woke up promptly at 6:30 the next morning and would talk and squeal and 'cry' until they got up too.

It was lots of fun, James may have gotten more notice this trip then Mathey, believe it or not, that's what you get for being in farm country.

Love you so much

Benjamin
