74 days, Super Saturday

Good morning Emmett,

1 week before Christmas, 3 days before we close your new house and start moving in, and 74 days before you arrive. What an exciting time for us.

The TV people are calling today "Super saturday" because it is the last saturday before the Holiday weekend. The stores will be crowded today. We will not be shopping today :-)

Your Momma has been very tired the last few days. She spent a day with a friend earlier in the week and had a fun time. Last night we went to the beach and watched the sunset together and searched for shells. Today she will spend the day at home and rest. She is ready to settle at our new home, we all are.

Your Grandma and I are taking a day to ourselves today. We usually go on Thursday or Friday but decided to take a weekend day off this week. We always try to take one day per week to enjoy each other and share an event, trip, or just a quiet day at home.

Today we are driving to Venice, Florida. There is a beach there famous for sharks teeth. My Dad, your Great Grandpa (Poppop) used to go to this beach with his grandma (Nanna) when he was young and worked in Florida. Grandma and I were about 5 or 6 years old then. He still has a cup full of teeth in his house today.

Most teeth are little but there are some real big ones from a giant shark called a "megalodon". We hope to find a small one today, if we're lucky. We will try and look for teeth when ever we go to the beach and you will be able to help us build our own family collection.

Your Poppy loves you
