Dear Mr. President...

This summer Luke decided he would write a letter to the President and ask him to be his penpal. It was a nice letter full of 7-year-old spunk and curiosity with questions like, "What is your favorite food?" While we didn't really think Luke would get a return response, it was still a thoughtful effort, and Luke was very excited about it.

Fast forward 2 months. When we arrived home from our Labor Day weekend travels, a very special parcel peeked out from under our front door mat. Return address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. No way! A letter from the President!

As we opened up the large envelope, it was full of info including:

• Letter from the President (form letter ... but still cool)
• Photos of Pres. Obama, his family, and his dog
• FAQs about the President
• Info about the rooms of the White House

The packet made a trip to school so Luke could show his classmates, and now it's going to find a special place in our archives. Thank you, Mr. President, (or at least to your presidential staffers) who took the time to respond to Luke's letter.

 Luke & his very important mail!
