Dear Hayden,

Today you went to Flagstaff for the first time. We took a day trip with Kristi to visit Shannon. Kristi and Shannon have been dear friends of mine since college. They are great ladies — just being around them makes me a better person. It was so fun to take you to Flagstaff, too, because it is such a special place for Dad and me — in fact, it is one of our favorite places. It’s so beautiful and green, and it is where we found each other! I know we’ll be up there a bunch of times as a family, and today was a nice introduction for you. It was a beautiful day and you had a great time!

Love you,
Mama
