Dear Mark,
How are
you? As you can probably tell, I am typing this on the new
laptop Doug has been issued as part of his job, to help him
keep track of things!! Of course, he went
straight out and bought computer games, and the only time
I've seen him work on it was the very first night when he
ended up cursing human invention for creatingwell I
don't think I'll go into detail.
Thank you for
your letter, we're thrilled to hear you may be
visiting. Hopefully Rachel can drop by as well.
Isn't Oregon a long way to go for a summer camp?
Anyway, we can't wait to see you both, if Elizabeth agrees
to come.
Since I last
wrote, both girls have learnt to walk, or waddle as Doug calls
it. They're now working on the art of perfecting the
staircase. I had a job interview last week (for a nursing
position in an ICU) and left Doug to babysit for the first
time. Needless to say, I came back and found quite a mess,
but he was great. You may think that's weird, like
I'm assessing him as a parent or something, but it's
still taking a bit of getting used to is all.
I hope Elizabeth is well, and write soon!
Love from Carol xxx
P.S. Doug says hi and that his basketball skills have always been more superior than yours, and that him and the twins are going to kick your butt.
