9 years, 9 months.

Dear Holly,

This past Saturday morning, Mommy was in Atlanta picking up Grandma who had flown in from Sacramento. Meanwhile, I was at play practice.

So we recruited Nonna and Papa’s help in transporting you to your classmate’s birthday party that morning; which took place nearly an hour away, in Gadsden.

I had explained to you that while I was growing up here in this town, we didn’t have to drive nearly an hour away for a birthday party: We had a bowling alley, a skating rink and a movie theater!

You laughed in confusion when I explained that we even had birthday parties at McDonald’s!

Either way, you clearly had so much fun at the birthday party!

Love,

Daddy
