2012

Hi Bradley,

I just wrote you a very long heart felt sentimental letter and the erased it and tried to retrieve the auto-save but then re-saved the draft as a blank document. hmmm

ANYHOO, hope you have a good holiday, Brynlee wants to meet you again, I posted some updated pics, I will upload some videos soon, I know they are funner to watch.

Brynlee talks like she is from the Bronx (her R's are W's), she is very intuitive- told Micheal I was not defensive I was just fragile the other day :) Symon was Sensitive Symon, now we are proud of a split personality emerging, he is becoming very demanding (good for him right?!)- maybe a 2nd child thing. Brynlee is a good sister, when takes his toys from him, she always replaces them with another object-his sock, cutlery whatever, she does not let him go without! She always always lets him be the horse. She sings O Canada to him when he cries. Cant wait for her to meet you, she has become hilarious, she is creative and strange (aaaaw!) And for Symon who is typically just wet and cute (and charming :)

Exciting things in mommyland revolve and poop often. Brynlee is now an independent pooper! Yay! She frequently enjoys coming up with animals that resemble her daily poop. It is funny and disgusting at the same time. Symon is not crawling, but completely mobile using a unique series of different types of rolls (genious!)

Photography business going good, until I applied for a stupid (awesome actually) photographers forum website and was basically told I suck (which I do compared to them), with some rude remarks (helpful criticisms) about my work that I will tell them to shove (use completely with appreciation for the time taken to critique and for the specific nature of their criticisms that have motivated me to keep learning and growing as a photographer). I guess they think their shit dont stink (I would sleep in their shit it is so incredible).

Hope all is well with Bradley. Glad to see you for this break you are taking from Vancouver, I hope to maybe drive up to Edmonton too while you are there.

Cass, Micheal Symon and Brynlee

Hi Uncle Brad!

I would sure like to see you again soon, you wont recognize me..I got a trim *cymbals*-anyhoo mommy bought me my own private toilet that is interestingly a miniature version of hers. I used it the very first time I sat on it, but I decided to take the seat off first so I peed all over myself-but some ended up in the toilet so I recieved a marshmellow as reward I guess.

Aside from my advanced typeing and computer literary skills I can also say quite a few things now. I love to say "no mine" "what you doing?" "I like it" "I want to dance" "bum change" "I like to move it" to name a few. I can also sing some twinkle twinkle, jingle bells, o canada, happy birthday and improvisational. I can count to ten, I love shoes, noodles, popcorn, music, hockey games, Elmo, TV in general, swimming, doing anything outside or physical and dancing.

I DO NOT like carrots, mascots, going to bed, creams or anything with a jelly like consistency, the sun in my face or eyes, or being locked in the cage.

Have a merry Christmas, dont forget to call when you wake up-hopefully Im not in bed by then :)

Hi Brad, we wish you were here but I guess that when you are trying to conquer the world things can get a little complicated. Dont give up we all believe in you-plus your Mon Amis video looks AWESOME! Well right now we are probably all sitting around gorging on food (our favorite family past time). Brynlee wants to meet you again!! Merry Christmas!!!
