1978 Catherine's Letter -July 27


Thurs. afternoon
July 27, 1978
Dear Mom and Dad,

Hi!  Nice talking to you on the phone yesterday, Mother.  Sorry I didn't get to talk to both of you.  I forgot to mention that we got a nice letter from Grandma.  Maybe I'll send the reply to Hudson Guild.  How long will she be there?  Glad to hear that you had a nice trip.  Did the weather cooperate?  It is pretty warm here but there is a breeze and the apartment does not get too hot.

Wendy's diaper rash is drying up very nicely now that she is back in her regular diapers and she seems to have readjusted to her bed.  She seems to be taking longer naps now that we are at home.  She has been sleeping for about two hours in both the morning and the afternoon.  Last night she slept through the night and I am in hopes that will continue now that she is back on three meals a day.  She can crawl all over the house without any problem at all and pull herself up to stand and sit back down without too much trouble.  We just try to keep her away from our end tables in the bedroom as they are not strong enough to hold her weight and they fall right over.  Two of her top teeth look like they are about to come through and then she will really be able to chomp at her food.

DeeDee's swimming lessons begin next Monday and run through August 11 - 45 minutes per day.  She will probably be going back to San Diego shortly after that to spend a couple weeks with her mother before school starts again.  It sure seems like the summer has gone by fast.

I am in hopes of getting my haircut in the near future and perhaps getting it curled.  Gerry needs his trimmed again now as it has been almost two months since his last permanent.

Do you know yet if Serena will be home before she goes to Denver?  How about Roberta's plans for the fall.  Will she be going back to Mesa or does she know herself yet what she will be doing?  Debby was going to come out and visit us in August but it doesn't look like she will be coming.

How long will you be in New York?  Shall I write to you there or at Hudson Guild?  I guess we can discuss it when I talk to you on Wednesday.

Tell Grandma I will answer her letter soon.  Hope you are all well.

Love,
Catherine, Gerry
DeeDee & Wendy
