When the cat's away, . . .

Dear Emily,

I hear you are having a great time in Nebraska! Grandma said that you haven't even talked about home much -- either you don't miss us at all or you're having way too much fun with grandpa and grandma. However, what you don't realize is that Bri is taking over around here. Here she is moving in on your best friend.

As you can see, Molly didn't fall for it. Molly misses you a lot. Her mom said that she barely wanted to go to gymnastics the other night since you weren't going to be there. And when Molly was over the other day, she said "I really miss Emily" and I thought she was going to cry. She is wondering when you will be back.

Here are some more pictures of Bri so you can see what she's been up to. One day we visited Dr. Cox. Remember him? The guy who first took your tonsils out and then Bri's. He of course checked for bunnies in her ears. He said everything looked good.

Jackson came over and played for a bit yesterday. I know you're not worried about this because he's too young for you. Plus, I think he's more in love with Bri anyway (which you can tell by the picture.)

You will be in for a surprise when you get home because I painted the upstairs bathroom. It's blue! I hope you like it. I also planted some tulip and daffodil bulbs in the backyard, but it will probably be a miracle if they come up. We'll have to wait until spring and see! They are pink, your favorite color.

Bri says to tell you hi, that she misses you and will see you soon.

Love,

Mommy

P.S. Here's a video of you from last week because I know how much you like to sing and like watching videos.
