A birthday...

Dear Nicky,

Sorry I was so brief yesterday, but it was a long and tiring day. It was Granddaddy's 70th birthday and we went all the way out to Pennsylvania to Aunt Duchy's house. You and June had a great time with all your cousins. At the end of the day we were all exhausted. This morning a bunch of relatives came over here for bagels and juice. Mom and I were rushing around under a lot of stress trying to get all things ready. Everything turned out well, and one of the Irish relatives absolutely adored you, as does everyone else. Later we went out to dinner, then watched Toy Story on DVD. I gave you a snoot of Motrin before bed because your arm still looks red and swollen from your shots the other day. Your spirits have been great, however.

Love,
Dad
