Thank you Secret Pal!





How exciting to come home to a package on the front step! I received a Duck Robe, a Stuffed Duck wearing a Duck Robe, a Duck Faucet Cover(with a bubble bath slot), a Duck that tells if the bath temp is too hot, and J/J washclothes with soap. It also included a sweet little poem from my Secret Pal (who is the best!!). Thank you-Thank you Secret Pal. Your generosity is overwhelming.

Thank You!


A huge thank you to my secret pal! It was great to come home and have the box waiting for me.

Sorry it took so long to add a picture, I had to buy a new cord to connect the camera to the computer - now, when we find the old one, we'll have 2.

My great package had a cool fishing toy, days of the week washclothes, cool poofy sponges, a rubber duck, a reusable ice pack and a cute card that looks like my Murphy! How thoughtful! Thanks again - you're awesome!

The BeDell's say Thank You!


Secret Pal,

You're the best! I can't believe how fast you got this out to us! We love each and every part of it! My 7 year old can't wait to brush his little mei-mei's teeth and squirt her with these little squirt toys! The fuzzy toy is so much fun with all the noises and textures! It's all too cute! You have absolutely made my day!

Thank you!!!!

Introducing the Barnett Family


Sean & Cari Barnett











We are Sean and Cari (both 36). We live in Bloomington, MN. We have been married for 14 years this August. We have three sons; Nate (12), Jack(10) and Blake(8). we also have a coonhound who has stolen all of our hearts, Lily.

We have requested a GIRL as I need a little more estrogen in the house! We have requested 6-18 months. We were DTC on 3/3 and our LID is 3/21.

We have not seleted a name yet but are forming a list. We will likely wait until referral time to make a final decision. Two of our boys will be moving rooms within our house to accomodate their baby sister so we haven't even begun to think of the nursery yet. It will definetly be something girlie after all the bedrooms with dinosaurs, sports and trucks we have done!

I like to read, walk Lily, scrapbook and listen to music. I love chocolate! We are a golfing in the summer, downhill skiing in the winter family.

I am excited to begin this Secret Pal exchange. We had gotten rid of all of our baby/toddler gear so are starting over(which is fun)!
