I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I just got back from spending Thanksgiving in Washington DC with Magen's family. We went to two Smithsonian museums. I thought about you two and wondered what you would have liked the best. I loved the cars and trains in the Transportation Hall. We saw dinosaurs, mummies, and a dusty Hope diamond..... and lots and lots of people! I even got to see the original Kermit the Frog and C3P0 from Star Wars.
There was a giant stuffed Grizley bear, too! I couldnt believe how big its paws were. I would NOT like to snuggle with a real one at night! There was a butterfly hall where you could walk through a butterfly garden. Butterflies would land right on you and you had to be careful that one didnt try to hitchhike out on your clothes when you left.
I got to see the Washington monument and we rode the metro subway, which was neat. It was the first time I ever rode a train.
Oh, and I have a beard now! I havent shaved since before Halloween. I wonder if you two would like it or want me to shave it? Maybe that's why I liked the Grizzly bear so much... because I look like one now! Ha!
I wanted you to know how thankful I am that you two are in the world. I miss you and I cant wait to see you soon. I love you both so much!
Be good and keep being smart in school. I am praying for you every day! Anytime you feel sad or lonely, remember that there is NOTHING in this world that would make me stop loving you and I wish I was giving you a big giant bear hug! I love you both so much!
Hugs, kisses, and hope!
Dad
