Sweetie Pies

Dearest Joshua and Luke,

     Sweetie Pie day is not just about sweetie pies, it is also about sweet pie. Yes, Daddy and Luke sampled several sweet pies in  town this last weekend.  After trying eight different pies, Luke's settled on his favorite  pie ~ a pizza pie ~ from his favorite thrift store. 

     It is also true that we have the two smartest boys in town ~ and we are not biased at all.  Joshua had all A's on his report card and Luke had too many E 's to even count!  Wow!  We are very proud parents, but even more we are proud of our boy's behavior and their love for learning at school.  I always loved school as well.  I liked playing the teacher and the student, too.  Maybe that is why I always wanted to be a teacher, and why I work in a school today! 

     Joshua and Luke both started basketball last week.  Joshua is happy to be practicing and spending time with new and old friends.  I have not figured out why Luke likes basketball yet, but he continues to play each week.  Sometimes he really wants to play and other times he tells us that he wants to quit.  But as long as he is signed up for this session, we will make sure that he plays.  And he does seem to enjoy himself once he is there.  One of the great things about this league is that it is an instructional league. The coaches have been totally awesome.  They focus on skills and teamwork. And there are about six to eight games all in the same place.   It is a perfect league for you two. 

     I love you both very much.

Love,
Mama
