Homefront

Dear Mr. Stannix,

I know you only left last night but I miss you like crazy! I had a lump in my throat after I came in from kissing you good-bye in the rain. I hate when you leave. While you're gone for the week I thought I would keep you posted on our happenings at the Acreage. Waking up to my Mum's homemade pancakes was the highlight of my morning. I smothered four with peanut butter before stacking them and topping them with Mum's homemade syrup. Delish!

We filled up the rest of our day by spending time outside when it wasn't raining.  We walked up to the orchard and Grampa showed us the baby black birds in their cozy little nest in the garden. Hyrum enjoyed walking around and checking out all the trees. Camilla spent most of her time picking dandilions and blowing the fluff off of them.

 When we got back to the house we said hi to the neighbors horses. Camilla fed them some grass and Hyrum stood on the sidelines. The children sure do love being outdoors!

Before afternoon naps we hung out in the garden with Grampa. Camilla has a super good memory and remembered planting beans with Gramma last time we visited. It was neat for her to see how they've grown up! She was so excited. Hyrum had a blast helping Grampa weed and checking out the veggies. He learned to step over the potatoes, but he almost squashed Gramma's carrots.

Everytime I would try to bring him inside he would protest. If he could have it his way he would stay outside all day. The fresh air has been so good for him! He was super tired when I put him to bed tonight!

 Thanks for bringing me home! You're the best.
