Transcript of the letter that Charlotte dictated this morning and asked me to write in my fanciest cursive:
Dear Senorita,
I am going to China. Then I will go to Mexico. I will bring you a big ruby, as big as your foot. I will also send a letter to your daughter saying “I love you so much.” I will also take many pictures of everyone in Mexico, in black and white.
Love,
Marco
Now…I have a couple questions:
Who is this Marco and where’s that ruby?
Blessings,
UPDATE: Apparently our unit studies on world explorers has piqued her imagination. Marco is none other than Marco Polo!

I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.
