Dear Barb and Luke,

CONGRATULATIONS!! Tara told me about the baby (but as you know she doesn’t want to talk about it, so I have to write b _ _ _ in her letters). But I think the news is great. Isn’t it wonderful to have something like that to look forward to? A baby! A brand-new BABY! Are you thinking of names yet? I kind of hope the baby is another girl. You could name her Mary. It’s plain, but it’s one of my favorites. Or what about Emily, Allison, Paige, Grace, or Anna? Of course, a boy would be fine too. Michael is a nice name.

Anyway, congratulations! I hope I get to see the baby one day.

Love,

P.S. I guess Tara has told you all my news. Except for not knowing about my father, things are pretty much better now.
