Off to a GREAT start! :) (16)

   We are continuing the tradition of doing AOKs at home this summer and we are off to a GREAT start!  :)  This summer we are also doing Mady "school" & we are going to TRY to get our AOKs each wk to relate back to our letter.  :)
   We started off sharing some of strawberries from the Fruit & Berry Patch-Mady shared them w/ Miss Sonja & her friend from T-Ball; Anders.  She also helped me make a strawberry pie & we gave 2 slices to our neighbors Lee & Mark.  :)
   The 1st week of Mady school our letter was M so we chose to send some "fun" things in the MAIL.  We sent a card to my friend Laurie, a coupon to Jenn DePew, a card to NaNa & a card to Mady's BFF; Kelsey.  :)
   Pause for vacation week.  ;)
   When we got back from vaca we sent 3 Thank-You cards for all of the wonderful treats we experienced over vacation-one to Pop-Pop & Gram-Gram, Uncle Jack & Cousin Summer.  :)  We also sent a sympathy card to Kelsey's Mom-her mother passed away.  :(  We sent a Congrats card to my friend Jennie-she's engaged!  Mady also sent a Father's Day card to her Pop-Pop & of course she'll give one to her Daddy.
   We had several fun pieces of mail when we got back-NaNa had sent Mady her own special card AND she had a little note from Kelsey inviting her over for a play date.  :)
   Of course we had tons of AOKs done for us as well-Miss Sonja washed Mady's hair for her & TRUST ME when I say that was a HUGE AOK!  ;)  A guy @ McKays helped us not lose our trade ticket & he helped us find a book cheaper than it would have been had he not helped.  :)  Anders brought Mady a little present to say Thank-You for his strawberries.  :)
   Like I said, We're off to a GREAT start!  This is A week at Mady School & we're going to make stain glass window clings for the Assisted Living Center-Morning Pointe.  :)
