A Testament

When Daniel was on his mission in Chile he decided to buy a wonderful alpaca blanket. It was purchased for his future wife, which he had never met. Then I got it for Christmas the year we were engaged. I love this blanket.


When Daniel was 8 he realized how awesome all his brio train set stuff was so he packed it up and stored it. For his future children. Last vacation we were at his parents' place and we dug it out of all the stored stuff. We didn't have enough room to put it in our luggage home so Grandma LeAnn mailed it to us. It arrived yesterday and I took photos. They are a testament to Daniel's foresight and Grandma LeAnn's insight.


She had added a set of farm animal stuff.

And sent it in a big box full of packing peanuts.

That was good thinking on your husbands part! Jack loves Thomas (pretty much the same thing as Brio as far as the tracks are concerned) and that stuff aint cheap!!

Yeah, Charlotte doesn't really like Thomas the TV show, but she really loves these train tracks.

Thought you'd like to know that you had a set of Brio trains as well. We gave them to the Daws when you grew out of them.
