Piano In Denver

, originally uploaded by ben.truitt.

Dear Jacob -

As an early Christmas present to your devoted audience, I thought I'd blog again after a long hiatus. To catch you up, we took a trip several weeks ago to visit your Magah in Denver. You loved getting to see her and many other family members, and especially loved playing with your cousins.

Here is a photo of you with Magah playing piano. Which reminds me: at a recent parent-teacher conference, I learned that you are among the most musically talented of your peers and that you love to play the musical instruments at school.

Although I don't have a photo to share with you of the other recent noteworthy item, your cousin Margaret (second cousin, actually) visited recently and you had a great time playing and hanging out with her! We had to ask her to leave though after she beat your mom and I in Settlers of Catan one too many times.

Well, your puppy is whining to me to go play with him, so I'll talk to you again soon.
Love,
Dad
