Rainy, busy Monday...

Dear Nicky,

Today I met your new driving team this morning. It's not even the same people from last week but a whole new duo. They seem very nice. When they picked you up they were very friendly, and when they dropped you off this afternoon, they said how sweet and cute and good you are. That's not news to me, of course. Anyway, this was your first day back at Stones after a spring break spent fighting strep throat. They said you had a good day. Last night I had the first decent sleep I've had in three or four days due to my campaign against strep throat. Junie and I were alone today, and we went to Target and the supermarket. I think the excitement was too much for her and overstimulated her to the point where she didn't take a nap this afternoon, which, of course, leads to madness. You seemed a little tired from your first day back at school yourself, but you ate a reasonable dinner and were eager to go to bed. Also, both you guys' and Mom's health are so much better than last week. And I'm finally on the mend myself. I also got a lot of errands done and was able to receive some furniture that Mom had ordered. So, though rainy, it was a very productive day. And the lawn needed the rain anyway, so it was win-win-win all around.

Love,
Dad
