To my fantastic feathered mama-san,

I think I'm getting better at the whole patience thing, but of course this month's trial is coming right for the jugular. Things always get hard again right when they're starting to get easy again, huh. Well, I'm very lucky to have so many loving and supportive parents around, so I'm also trying to do the give-myself-grace thing, too.

(You can pull rank, and he can pull rank, and it would be kind of funny to see you try to out-parent one another. The only winner would be me, though, because I have both of you! Unless it ends with me still being grounded...)

Looking forward to the lake party. For food, let's see. Something cool and easy I think, based on how warm it's getting. Lots of fruit and vegetables! But not all salad. Food that's easy to eat with wet fingers, so maybe not sandwiches this time. Cheese... oh, how about those trays? Those char-cutie-ray or however it's spelled. And do you know any recipes with marshmallow fluff? Sharon told me about it at her wedding and I got kind of addicted.

I don't actually know much about sensei's tastes, because I only ever saw him eat the same stuff I ate growing up, which was just leaves and rats and whatever else we could salvage. So there wasn't really favourite anything anymore. He seems to like the food I've been cooking at home, so we'll learn as we go. He loves pizza still! So pizza is a must. He likes grilled cheese which is good because me and Hunter eat it all the time.

Thinking about you as sensei's mom is too weird. Or Uncle Tello's... I think Leo's having a hard time with sensei being here, and I've been trying to keep them separate in my mind more these days. So even as a joke, we probably shouldn't say that kind of thing. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I do want to be careful.

Love you always,
Casey

My little cub,

(It still delights me whenever you call me that! It's just so darling!)

I love you endlessly, my darling boy, but I would win and I refuse to hear otherwise. :>

A charcuterie is a such a brilliant idea! A little spread of everything, so there will be at least a few different selections that everyone likes. And I can still incorporate Donatello's favorite snacks without having to include them on the side for him. We could do a dozen different meats and cheeses, olives, pickles, and a whole assortment of fruit! I think you just figured out exactly what I'm going to put together for the family. But I don't believe I've ever tried marshmallow fluff before. Is it the middle of a marshmallow? Or something else entirely?

Hm, and perhaps a pizza or two, just in case. I know it is something all of you are so fond of. What toppings would everyone most agree upon?

Pray, I did not realize that our Leonardo was having a difficult time with your father arriving. Did he say as much to you? Would it be too intrusive of me to ask him myself? Or should I wait until he comes to me first? I so hate to put him on the spot again, but I want him to know how loved he is. The very last thing I would ever want to do is make him feel like he can't come to speak to me.

Forgive me. I shouldn't be asking you any of those questions. That isn't a burden you should ever have to carry. I just am so used to speaking my mind fully in these letters, sometimes I do cross the line of what is appropriate for a parent to ask of a child. I'm very sorry, my Casey.

I love you endlessly and always,
Mom

Dear Mom,

I'm bringing marshmallow fluff to the party now. I think it goes good on graham crackers, like a s'more. It's like if marshmallows were made into a gooey spread. It's soooo tasty. I found a recipe for a s'more cake and I'm gonna make it for you :)

For pizza toppings, I think everyone likes different things. I'll ask around! But the easy option is cheese and pepperoni for sure. Everybody likes that.

Leo didn't really tell me, but when I said sensei was here, he was kind of weird about it. I think he's happy for me but not for him? He was cagey and when I checked in, he agreed that WE were okay, but we didn't get into the sensei thing. You know how he is, he never wants to really share what's bothering him. I'm probably the wrong person to ask, anyway. I'm not exactly neutral on this one.

Never be sorry for speaking your mind! It's important to me that you can. It's not a burden or anything, especially when I worry about this stuff, too. I just wish I could help. Whether he talks to you or not, I know you'll do what you do best and support all of us. So maybe just keep an eye on him... Donnie, too. Uncle Tello's being a jerk and I can't figure out why. It's so stupid. ~~This is supposed to be~~

Thank you for being you <3 there's so much going on but when I talk to you all that stress kinda melts. You're the best.

Love you, love you, love you,
Casey
