10 years, 3 months.

Dear Holly,

Mommy and I are so fortunate to be able to work from home. It means that despite working nearly 10 hours a day, we still are able to see you throughout the day as you keep yourself entertained the way a girl is who is starting 5th grade today would.

Your dolls and Warmies have certainly learned a lot this summer, as you have served as their school teacher.

This past weekend for your last Saturday of summer vacation, you took your baby Warmies, Gracie and Gabbie, with you to see Toy Story 5.

And I was so happy when you decided it was time to buy a dress and some heels to wear to church, instead of a t-shirt, sweatpants, and sneakers. So after the movie, you took your time picking them out at Marshall’s.

This is my theory: I think you might be growing up…

Love,

Daddy
