Hey, Brenda, thanks for asking about the math books, but we are using a math program called Math-U-See, so we won't need those. The grammar books and phonics books are welcome though!!!

Are you going to have any room left for your stuff??? We are so excited about all of you coming. Teresa and Markus are on the way already, so we'll be waiting for you. Just to make your day Brenda, the turtles are ready and the butter tarts will be done tonight!!!

Dad and Dwayne are working way too hard, but enjoying it. Mom and Shannon and I are finishing up the Christmas baking today and going grocery shopping for all of you. Should be fun!

Al and Brenda, how much $$ do you want to donate to our shoeboxes for 2 families here in Gramado? Let us know ASAP, so we can shop. Also, are you arriving on the 1:30 flight? We'll wait to hear from you.

Love, Patsy
