Happy 5th Birthday Jen

I really enjoy all the pictures of you that your dad has been sending to grandma and me recently. Even though we are separated by many miles we get to see you grow as the pictures  come rolling in from  your parents on email.

Back when I was your age we didn’t have all the electronic gadgets you have today, but we did have “Flip Cards”. If you make a drawing of a person on the first card and then make small changes from the 1st card to the next card, and do that to each card after that, you can make the person appear to move by watching as you flip through the deck of cards. That would be fun if I could do that with all the pictures your parents have sent us this past year.

Because your birthday is one day after mine, you will be entering Kindergarten as one of the older children and graduating high school after you are 18. But, let’s not rush things. Enjoy your childhood Jen, You will be an adult a very long time and being a kid is so much more fun.

Have a great birthday and a great vacation in Hawaii Jen.

Love,

Grandpa
