We are such Sims As dreams are made on

Hi Dad,

Thanks for the letter. I've been missing you guys too.

It is taking some time to get used to this school. It's not easy to fit in, some of the kids have been here since forever and they all have established groups. I feel like such an outsider.

On the other hand, there's so much opportunity to do art. We have sketch pads that we carry everywhere - random drawing in classes is encouraged.

I don't know when I'll get the chance to visit. Travel is so expensive and I don't have much to spare after buying supplies for school.

I'm glad to hear that your fame as a sculptor is definitely spreading. That lovely ice urn must have been quite the talking point at the party.

I see that Mason continues to grow like a little weed. He'll be starting school before anyone knows what happened.

You will make sure Mason knows his big sister is missing him?

It's really cool that you've invented a new drink. I'm looking forward to trying it, and watching you play hotshot at the bar sometime.

I'm glad to hear that you've been practicing bass too. When are you going to join a band, Dad? It would be cool if my dad were in a band.

It looks like half my class was down at Hogan's doing their homework. There must have been a field trip that day.

I don't know the boy Lizzie was sharing a table with. I must admit, I'm kind of glad that Clayton was sitting on his own.

I'm sorry to hear that Shannon is still having problems with morning sickness. Are you both excited about another baby?

Let Shannon know that her care package of cookies was much appreciated. I caught one girl trying to find the last few crumbs in the box at 2 in the morning.

Love and hugs all around
Catherine
