Dear Noah,

You were my first nephew Noah and the baby who made me an aunt.  Without you, I would know very little about cuttlefish/squid, zombies, or fishing.

Without you, I would not have been prepared for all the puking that Ellie did all over me.  (What?  You don’t remember puking all over me the very first time I met you, when you were three weeks old?  Your mama called it “eau de spew”!)  You make my life richer and I’m grateful that you’re in it, even from 3500 miles away!

I hope you have a wonderful 11th birthday!

Love,

Your Auntie Laura (with Uncle Nik and Ellie too!)
