Thank you Jennifer Parker

My secret pal was the awesome Jennifer Parker. She sent me the wonderful CCAI calendar, a chinese boar ornament, and lady bug stickers. I also received 2 email cards during the month. Thank you Jennifer for the wonderful, thoughtful gifts. It was so exciting to open presents! I can't wait until April. - Carol

Thank you Alana!!!

Thanks for the fabulous gifts from my February Secret Pal….. Alana & Scott Pettit!

We love it all and I especially adore the darling Gymboree sleepers…..a pink one with little bunnies and then a footed one with little piggies!! There’s also a precious book: Piglet and Mama.

And then we got some cool Chinese New Year gifts:
- a Chinese knot with a wooden pig
- a Lucky Cat (as Alana well explained with 2 raised paws to invite good fortune and protect)
- some hong bao money for Corbin

Your gift was very sweet and I really appreciate the thought that you put into it!
Thanks again!

Thank You to the Rollins Family!

We just want to say a HUGE thank you to our February Secret Pals! What a wonderful treat it was to receive their very special package. I had to use all of my willpower and wait for Ken to arrive home to open it with me!

It turned out our pals were Mike and Leanne Rollins from Oklahoma. They sent us a lovely card with a Confucius quote that means so much to us and a heartfelt, handwritten letter as well. A very special touch to their package was the photo they included of their family. All of these things are going right into Jade's scrapbook!

Their gifts were wrapped in red paper for the Chinese New Year. We received a set with Jade's first piggy bank as well as little homes for her first tooth lost and first curl. We also received a wondefully illustrated book on Chinese Astrology. Lastly, we received a book called Mommy Hugs. What made this extra special was that at Christmas, I bought Ken the partner to it (Daddy Kisses). Now we have a set!

Thanks, Leanne and Mike! You are truly special Secret Pals!

Charlottes web books, A great book about little sisters for Lizzie. Hong Bao for both girls, and a piggy bank for baby. Piggie holders for hair, curly wurleys(!!)cuz they are curley like pig tails..and a story about "piggies" toes and socks to keep ours warm! A super soft Piglet and a cool pig postcard.

YOU ROCK! and you have inspired me!

My Secret Pal is SUPER GREAT!!!

Look at the treasures my Secret Pal sent me: a little Chinese doll, two great books, a plush ladybug toy, very sweet card and Valentine candy (not pictured but definitely enjoyed!). Many thanks Secret Pal, it was so much fun to receive these great gifts!

Thanks to my secret pal

Thank you to my secret pal!! I got this pretty purple package in the mail today. When I opened it, I was so excited to see that my secret pal not only included a gift for Lucy (our soon to be daughter), but she also included a gift for my son. We were given two red envelope cards -- one for Lucy and one for Zachary, two headbands, a set of slide drums for Zachary, a dragon bell thingy (I have seen them, but do not know what to call them), and the most precious book. The title of the book is My Little Love Bug. The book is absolutely adorable, but even more wonderful was my 6 year old reading the book aloud. I can only imagine the day that he can read the book to Lucy! Thank you so much to Jennifer and Calvin Dillon. You really made my day! Erica Dick

Thanks for the invite, Alana.
