Letter Dear Mom and Dad, We have some exciting news for you. Maria is going to have a baby! We didn’t tell you right away. At first the doctor said she might have some trouble with the baby. Now he says she is just fine. She’s very healthy and happy! She still works on her painting every day. But she stopped teaching art classes. She gets tired more quickly now. There is going to be another change in our lives. We’re moving back to New York! We wanted to be closer to you and to Jane. It’s much nicer to be near the family for something important like a baby. Maria grew up in Mexico, and she doesn’t have a family. So that makes you even more important to us. Maria is a little worried about working in New York. She will have to start again there. In Italy her paintings are already popular. But I’m sure people will like them in New York, too. My job won’t be any problem. I’m still going to work for The New York Times. I’ll be writing about the United Nations in New York. We’re planning to move next month. See you then! Love, Ted

Thank You
