Reading the Paper

Jacob -
For Christmas, your mom got us a subscription to the New York Times. This has turned out to be one of the best Christmas gifts either of us got. It allows me to stay abreast of the Second Greatest Depression, and it allows you to work on your crossword puzzle skills. Admittedly though, you are mostly focused on trying to grasp the words at this point...literally. This morning we left chocolate lips and candy roses on your mom's pillow for Valentine's Day. She was very excited when she came back in the room after her shower and saw them. We both got a kiss for our efforts. :) A few minutes ago your Nana and aunt Samantha arrived. They have volunteered to be your valentines tonight while your mom and I go out to our first date night without you. It'll be strange to watch a movie without you there to comment on it! Later Dude,
Dad
