But the joy, John, just the pure joy of laying on the rug and watching them put things together.well I couldn’t help myself being just a big kid. I wish you could know with 4 boys and 3 girls the number of hours we played with the big block set and the toy train (the 10 piece set). Well, please understand just how much fun your craftsmanship has provided our home. I'm sorry that it's been so long but, at least this is one of those better late than never kinda things.Īll too often I think we all get into the rut of being able to find the time to criticize but not finding the time to compliment. I really wanted to find the time to tell you about your work much before this point, but I just never put my mind to it. John, I apologize that this note is getting to you so late. With the exception of some scratches on the side of the wagon (courtesy of our brick fire place) and a single chewed piece(courtesy of our youngest daschound), well, it looks almost new. Honestly, I've had friends who are woodworkers come over and they've marveled at the consistent quality of the blocks (not to mention the construction of the wagon). I just noticed (from you latest mailing) that you have an e-mail address, so as I finish catching up from work undone over the last week or so, I wanted to take just a minute to let you know how you've touched our family. I've been meaning to write you for quite some time, but I've never gotten around to it. They are (and have been) such favorites that we've even taken "official" (you know, the one year old, two year old, etc) shots with the block wagon from time to time (I know I have some extra pictures of one of those and I'll send it to you as soon as I find it again). They become everything from Airports to Zoos, and literally everything in-between. Well, Joey is now 3.5 and Chris just over 2, and I can't tell you the amount of time that they spend with your blocks. Since then, we added son number two, Christopher, in March of 1996. I remember that you worked hard to get the order out in time.
