an open letter from my awesome grandparents :)

That's it, You've become a wild thing. I knew it "wood" happen if you hang around trees too long. Next thing you know your hair will become deciduous, but fear not it will bud out and come back in the Spring. At that point you must watch out for nesting birds. They are noisy and worst of all messy, and Woodpeckers can cause violent headaches. On the other hand, wild things can run long distances, swim with and like a fish, and ride two wheeled contraptions like a human. Congratulations on competing and doing well, but now we've just come to expect that. We continue to love you, and admire you for a number of strange reasons which we don't even understand our selves. Keep in touch! Papa and Gram
