Valentine's Day, 2009...

Dear Nicky,

After a nice mellow day, which including you kids getting a couple new pairs of shoes, Mary came over to babysit you guys while Mom and I went out to dinner and then to a bookstore. We had some good food and a very nice time, and I snagged a bunch of books I'm very happy to add to my library. When Mary came over, you and June were so happy to see her you were jumping up and down. And believe me, she's crazy about you guys as well. She's a very nice girl.

Love,
Dad
