Hello, Josh. I hope you are enjoying your holidays in America. Everything is fine at home. Molly has received the exam results from school recently. She has got the highest possible point among all the children. Aunt Franny has sold her old car and has already bought a new one. Mother has already planned our next weekend holidays. We are going for a barbeque party. Father has been to Paris twice since the time you left. He has so much to tell you. And I have got a confirmation letter about my internship in the law firm.
