Dear Holly,
You are always so excited when it’s time for the book fair at your school. Not only do you get to choose some new books to buy to support your school, but it’s also fun for you to see Mommy, Nonna, and Aunt Dana; who all volunteer there.
The only problem is that you read so fast! You read all of your new books over the weekend.
But that is a good problem to have!
Love,

Dear Jack,
We had such a fun time together this past Friday with some of my friends, as we watched the wrestling event at Woodville High School. It was the first time you and I went to see wrestling since 2019 back when we lived in Nashville.
The part that stood out most about this time was that the wrestlers brought the action into the stands, right next to where we were sitting.
We definitely got our money’s worth!
Love,
Daddy
I turn 45 years old next month… and I’m starting to wonder if my maturity level isn’t quite matching my age. Friday night, it was Guys’ Night Out. So naturally, we drove about an hour away to Woodville to see the wrestling event there at their high school.
The energy in that gymnasium was my version of warm and inviting. So… I couldn’t help but join in the action by taunting the wrestlers who deserved it.
Yes, I am in my mid 40s. I have a wife and two kids.
When word got out the next morning, my wife was not surprised at all to learn that I instinctly confronted all the bad guys from the stands… as well as one in particular, as he was crawling away from the ring. I gave him a stern warning:
“STAY DOWN! You’re not going anywhere. You’re going to sleep on the gym floor tonight.”
At that point, he lifted himself up from the gym floor in an attempt to slap me across the chest, as I immediately put up my dukes in response. Then, still exhausted from losing the main event of the night, he fell back on the floor and I walked away like Vin Diesel walking away from an explosion.
Yep. Turning 45 years old next month.

Dear Jack,
There’s no way around it. You had just as much fun as your sister and cousin this past Saturday, making slime from Dollar General shaving cream at Nonna and Papa’s house.
The slime has continued to have daily replay value back at our house every day after school.
I love it that playing with homemade slime is an activity both you and you sister can bond over. I wouldn’t have guessed it!
Love,

Dear Holly,
This past Saturday while Mommy and I drove to Chattanooga to go see a movie and out for lunch afterwards, you spent the day at Nonna and Papa’s house.
As the pictures started rolling in, it appeared that Nonna had taken you and your cousin Darla on a Dollar General shopping spree!
Not only did you get a new stuffie, but you had so much fun making slime with the shaving cream you bought.
Good way to spend a Saturday.
Love,
Daddy
