14 years, 3 months.

Dear Jack,

Mommy and I only hired a babysitter a couple of times during your entire life; most of which took place in Tennessee. We would just wait until Nonna and Papa would visit us to ever go do something fun by ourselves.

But now that we live in Alabama, Mommy and I can just go out for dinner together or a weekend trip and Nonna and Papa are here to take care of you and your sister.

This past Saturday, Mommy and I went out for dinner for Valentine’s Day, while you and your sister stayed at Nonna and Papa’s house.

I heard you did a good job of being in charge of helping everyone place their orders, as you all went to dinner at our family’s favorite pizza place: The Mentone Market.

Seriously, life is so much easier now that we live in Alabama. I am so grateful for having family to support us… and who now live in the same town that we do!

Love,

Daddy
