April 11th

Dear Catherine and Vincent,

   We decided to write a letter together to wish you a happy anniversary.  Mary said to write about love, and Rebecca said not to get silly or goofy about it, so we're trying our best. We wouldn't do this for just anybody either.

   We're tying to think of something no on else will say, so that way you'll have lots of different things to read. But guess what -- we both came up with the same ideas! So here they are.

   We think you're both really nice and not like a lot of grown-ups. You really listen to us and you really care about us. You take time to do fun things with us, and you teach us things we need to know. We know the other grown-ups Below are like that pretty much, too, but we remember what it's like up top and we know things can be different. No one anywhere is like you are, and we know we're very lucky kids to be with you.

   In case Mary and Rebecca read this letter, we're not getting off the subject. The stuff we just wrote about has a lot to with love.  It's like how parents love their kids and how kids love their parents back. We think you guys would be great parents! Sometimes we sort of pretend that you're our parents even though we never told you that before. We hope that's okay with you.

   That's about it for now. Happy Anniversary!

Love, Eric and Geoffrey
