Happy Birthday! I can’t believe you are 8. I’ve missed a
couple of letters…I know shocking, work has been crazy busy and I’ve been
traveling to NYC. We had a great day with you today. A VERY full day. You have
had a plan in mind for awhile and we stuck to it like glue.

Go to DQ for a Fanta drink (they have the most awesome drink
dispenser - you chose Fanta Lime)

Head down to Providence
Go to Dave & Buster’s for lunch

Go back to D&B’s
Go home
Open more presents
Eat Ice Cream Cake
Mission accomplished.
This past month you got new glasses, went on skates for the
first time (and LOVE IT) and started swimming lessons up again. For the past 3
months you have been crazy for making board games. You do it at your
afterschool program, you do it when you are with papa, you do it when you are
with us. You just can’t stop. They are usually fun to play (impossible to win…)
I went to your school to read to your class for your
birthday. I picked “Weird but True! 4: 300 Outrageous Facts”. You love these
books with a passion and you like
reading them to us on our way up (or back) from the White Mountains. It just so
happened that your class is doing a section on
non-fiction, which was a very nice cowinkydink. The kids in your class are a lot of fun. In
fact I was in your class twice this past month. I went in the day before
Valentines to be a “cashier” during your Valentine shopping spree. I manned the
ribbon counter. You guys got to go from station to station purchasing items to
decorate your valentine containers. You bought a LOT of ribbons, actually all
your friends did, your teacher had to run to resupply me. I love seeing you with your friends.
We didn’t get to see you at the snowflake ball this year.
The bride’s dad passed away and then Jman’s mom was told on Friday afternoon
(the ball was Friday night) that there were too many people and they couldn’t
go which would have sucked….well Boy Toy
wouldn’t have gone and I would have taken Jman and you, but instead Campbell
and Jman went in our place. You and Jman had a blast.
You got to do an overnight with Nannie and Papa during February
break– papa takes Friday’s off now, but at 1:00pm he told everyone that it was
a Spotty Chop day and he had better things to do. You two are as thick as
thieves and I love how much the two of you love each other. Papa has shingles
right now so he hasn’t been able to play with you. Let’s hope he gets well
soon.
I hope this is a great year for you!
Love you kiddo!!!!
