Fall Trip

Staunton River State Park!!

Every year we go on a vacation in the fall. This year because of your play, we're going a little bit later than usual. When daddy told me we were going camping late December, I told him he was crazy. 

However, it has completely surprised me by turning out to be one of my favourite vacations ever. The weather is high 60s and 70s. Everyone is the for the most part, getting along- without a television!! (Miracle!!)

We have had hot chocolate, while sitting together by the warm fire, listening to Little Women, The Grinch, and "'twas the night before Christmas". 

There were some bumps in the road.. Like when I decided to wash all the clothes by hand... In a cooler... With shampoo... Thanks to a kind forest ranger, that problem was solved also. 

You collected about 10 sets of attached angel wings, one was very tiny. You don't know this yet, but Henry has torn them apart and destroyed them. I am sorry, my love. They were beautiful. I love you!

Merry Christmas.

Life as Cosette

Little one, you have made me so very proud. You got up there on the big stage and you were...
Incredible. Wonderful. Perfect. 

I would have been proud of you no matter what, but to see your excited face after each scene that you were in, radiant and so excited... Knowing what a beautiful job you had done... I will always remember that.
