Dear Joseph and Lucia,

I had a very quiet weekend.  I got to talk briefly with your step-grandmother in Belgium.  I went to the store to buy gifts for two of my nephews.  It was fun remembering all the trips to the toy section at Wal-Mart we would do.  I miss buying toys. Lets me feel like a kid again. The challenge is to get everything packed before we leave next week.

Just a short note for today.

Love,

Dad
