Dear Holly,
With Aunt Dana and Uncle Andrew living on the same street as us, it is now a common occurrence that I don’t necessarily know where you are sometimes, I just know that you are A) being well taken care of and B) having fun, whatever you are doing.
Earlier this week while Mommy and I were still working, Aunt Dana started sending me pictures of you and your cousin Darla at what I now know is called “Cook With a Book”.

Only just now as I am writing this, I learned it was hosted by the local high school FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America); collaborated with the local elementary school library.
You had a great time… even if I didn’t know where you were or what you were doing at the time.
And that’s one of the many reasons I love living here in Alabama.
There’s always something unique going on- and we never have to pay to park!
Love,
Daddy
