we got baby chicks today!

dear kate,
today we got some baby chicks at our house!
we got baby turkeys too!
frappy made a little chicken coop for them to live in outside - near the trampoline.
we have 31 little yellow chicks, and 10 baby turkeys!
in the picture the chicks look red and orange - but that's just because they are standing under a red light.  frappy put a warm red light over them to keep them warm because they are so tiny and we didn't want them to get cold!



when you come in july, they will not look like this anymore!  they will be much bigger because they are growing up every day!  they will look like big, white chickens when you come!  but you better hold your nose when you go into the chicken coop . . . it's smelly!!  
love,

hippie day

dear kate,
today is hippie day at value village!
value village is a second-hand store near my house - and i love shopping there!  
when i shop there, i always say . . ."you never know what you need until you find it!"
they have really neat stuff - and really great prices!
we will go there when you come in the summer and nammy will give you some money to buy something, okay?  you will love it!
and guess who works there?  kelly!!
she loves it!  it is such a fun place to work and they do all kinds of crazy things!
today was hippie day!  all of the people who work there had to dress up like hippies!  so, i helped kelly get a costume ready (just like hallowe'en) and this is what she looked like . . .
isn't she funny!!  i laughed and laughed!
she really had a great time at work today! 
love,

guess what?

dear kate,
guess what?
auntie beka is getting her own apartment!  that means that she will be moving away from our house here in russell, and moving into her own house!  it will be a little house - but a really beautiful one!
she won't be too far from us and we can drive over and visit her while you're here!  it will only take about 40 minutes to get there.  
she is going to be living in quebec.  they speak french there, and auntie beka is learning french too!  she has a really good new job in quebec and she will be living close to her work.  she can even walk to work if she wants to!
and, you know what else?  
auntie beka has a pink couch!!!  your favourite colour!!  i think it's her favourite colour too!
that means that when you come in the summer, mommy will be able to sleep in auntie beka's old room!  by then, auntie beka won't be living here.  we'll have to go see her at her house!  oh, i know she'll come and see us while you're here though!  she is going to want to go to the water park with us and fly down the water slides with you!
i'm happy for her - but i will miss her at home!  
i'll be even happier when you come though!  when you and mommy get here, we'll have 2 more girls in the house!!  yea!!!
see you soon sugar plum!
love,
