Dear Carolyn,
Today you are one week old. Part of me had hoped you would be born today, but I’m glad you got to be home for Halloween instead. I didn’t make or buy you a costume this year, but I promise I’ll make it up to you starting next year! Instead, you wore a cute little outfit that your great-gramie gave you. We went trick-or-treating at great-grandma’s, grandma’s, and the next-door neighbors. Somehow we ended up with only a dozen or so trick-or-treaters, so we have a ton of candy left over…now the trick will be to not eat it all!
Love, Mommy
