To Make You Smile.....

This morning I received an email from my Aunt Linda. The subject of the email was "To Make You Smile." It included a letter she had received from my sister regarding my nephew's birthday card he received from her. My aunt sent it out so everyone could have the chuckle she got out of it. Here it is:

Hey, Aunt Lin. Zachary's b-day card came today and I wish you could have seen him opening it...the child absolutely LOVES mail!! He saw the $1 and he exclaimed "WOW" (he's very dramatic - reminds me of Mark when we were younger :) Then he sees the check and jumps up and down - literally! I asked him what would he like to tell you and Uncle Ed for the b-day money and he said, "I would like for you to write her a card and say, "I love you and want you to have a good birthday too - Dear, Zachary". I explained that we would have to wait until February to send you a birthday card to which he seems satisfied, but that is his thank you message. He states "I'm am so glad to get a check"!!

Back to his love of mail - he told me on his birthday (a Sunday of course), "I sure hope I get some mail today". Being that the mail did not run that day, I had Don slip a card out in the mailbox after lunch. In my haste to get it written and to the mailbox, I had written, "We love you Zach and hope you have a wonderful birthday. Love, Daddy, Mommy and Zach" (meant to write Abby). He goes to the mailbox and gets so excited. He read each word precisely and got to the end where he saw his name as one of the senders and looked up at Don and said, "Well, shoot, I sent myself a card". Don just howled!!! It took the wind right out of his sails and I felt terrible!! He recovered quickly:)

Hope you have a good week. We love you so much.
