Your grandma and grandpa arrived today. They drove here from Nevada and brought lots of things for you. My favorite is a little old rocking chair that used to belong to your grandma when she was a little girl. For now a little teddy bear sits on it, but someday you’ll rock on it and read books, maybe to the teddy bear. I think your favorite item that they brought is the rocking horse from their house that you rode on when we were there in July. And the other item they brought for you is a huge toy chest in the shape of a barn on the ranch where your grandma grew up, and where your dad used to work during the summer. Your grandma’s brother, Mike, made it for your dad when he was little. It will be the perfect place to store your treasures.
