Thanks from Dan & Suz!

We love our secret pal! Your gifts always come on the perfect days, and yesterday was no exception! I love how you had the box all lined with colorful tissue paper, you are awesome! I have to confess we already tried out the play dough, but the squeaky blocks, battery-powered keys, bubbles, and book will be waiting for our other package (: BTW I am so excited about the Who Loves Baby book, several of my friends have those and they are a huge hit with their kids. It will probably be with us on the trip to China so Caroline can learn her family members on the long flight! Thanks for your thoughtfulness each month, you are the best!!!
luv,
Suz and Dan

Thanks to Paulette

Sorry this message is so late. Life has been hectic this summer. We want to thank Paulette for being our Secret Pal for many months. Jensen loved all the gifts you've sent him. He loved tearing into each box every month. I wish you could have seen the excitement in his eyes and face each time. Thanks again. If we're ever out in the Chicago area, we'd love to meet up with you!!!!

Megi's Secret Pal - June

Secret Pal:

A special thanks to my pal for the very special package. I love the farm (match) game in the egg tray - very, very cute! Also, thank you for the magazine - I actually saw this in the store and was scared to buy it (I am not very creative) - but now I am eager to start making some of the adorable little snacks and crafts - thank you so much!

I thank you dearly for all the wonderful suprises - hope you are enduring the wait as best you can (next summer will be so much fun with our little ones)!

Best,

Megi

PS I do not have a clue who you are - can't wait to find out!!!!

March DTC Group Having Tech Difficulties

Hi Everyone~
Valeri emailed me today to say that the March DTC group is not taking posts right now. Maybe we've been waiting so long we filled it up! No, just kidding. Cathy is working on it, and I'm sure it will be back soon.
Pass it on~
