Dear Joseph,

Grandma is there now, so I have it nice and quiet here. I can mess the place up and eat what ever I want. It is great. Here is a picture of my bedroom. I guess I need to do something about it before she comes home.

By the way: Where's my money?

Papa loves you

Dear Joseph,
Grandma and I are looking forward to your visit. Please let me know what you would like to do while you are in Milwaukee. Remember, we will all be driving to Detroit to meet your parents and to go to the wedding of my niece (my brother's daughter).

You will be meeting all sorts of new people and do lots of stuff, so get ready.

Papa loves you.

Dear Joe,
How wonderful to have you and mom here for a few days. I think we had a good time, and I am looking forward to coming back to your house for your birthday. Don't forget to talk with grandma and me on the computer when you have time. Oh, by the way, tell dad that I said it is okay for a fellow your age to watch TV.

Papa loves you

Dear Joe,
I really enjoyed our visit last week, and I think your house is terrific. I never saw so many  toys as you have in the basement.

I really want you to know that I WON THE PILLOW FIGHT! You can have a rematch next time.

When you come, if the weather is nice, we will set up the tent.

Be well and listen to mom and dad.

Papa loves you

Hey Mr. Joe

Joe,
It was really great having you here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Seeing you get off that train made me happy, and I enjoyed your energy. I hope that next time we can get you into a kayak. Meanwhile, I bet you are excited to be moving into a house with a yard.

It will be nice to be able to just head out the door to play where mom can keep an eye on you.

Let me know how you're doing, and remember...

Papa loves you.

Dear Joe,
I really had fun listening to grandma's stories of her visit with you, and I am anxious to see you and your two room mates next month. I can see in the pictures and on the computer that you are changing and growing quickly.

Let me know what you want to do when you are here. I can let you float in a kayak near shore. We can set up a tent in the back yard, or just aggravate the neighbors.

I miss you, so come fast.

Papa loves you.

Dear Joe,
I miss you, but Mom keeps me posted with phone pictures so I can see how you are growing. I hope you will remember the wonderful wedding weekend when we were all just together.
Wasn't it fun? Oh man, how all the little gals wanted to dance with you. One day you will get the hugeness of this. Come see Grandma and me soon.

Papa loves you.
