Today was unusually warm and Thomas came to our house to ask me to go for a ride in his sled. The children were in the sled and they seemed happy to see me. We had a lovely ride. I try to talk to Lady and Jesse so I can get to know them better, but they are still very quiet around me. I think they must talk more when they are at home with their father. I’ve noticed they have continued to talk to each other in their special language. It is quite sweet, and very intriguing.
I want to ask Thomas about the children’s mother, but he had not said much about her. She must have been lovely, since Lady and Jesse are both fair-haired and delicate, unlike their father, who has dark brown hair and is strong and tall.
Margaret teases me that Thomas and I will be getting married before the end of the summer, but Mama tells her to be quiet. Margaret doesn’t seem to like Thomas, but I think she’s jealous. I like him very much.
