Dear Jack,
A few weeks back, Nonna and Papa invited the kids from church to have fun on the playground in their backyard. I loved watching the way you quietly appointed yourself as the official guide.
At no point were any parents required. The parents were able to relax while the kids played.
No asked you to do this. You just did.
And the kids loved having you there to help them!
Love,

Dear Holly,
It never crossed my mind that you would actually enjoy going to the Supercross off-road motorcyle race our family went to last weekend in Birmingham.
I assumed it was just you having to go along with it because your brother is so into it. But to my surprise, you specifically told Mommy and I that you liked being there.
So I guess that helps, knowing our family will start going to Supercross more regularly moving forward.
Love,
Daddy

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,
Daddy

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

Dear Holly,
Last week while Grandma was visiting and staying with us, in part so she could see me perform in the play, she stayed in your bedroom; which meant I was gracious enough to let you sleep on the floor of our bedroom on a blow-up mattress all week.
You made yourself at home, even setting up a special corner for one of your stuffed animals as well.
I think it was like a fun camping trip for you!
Love,
Daddy
