we start 'em early

chase tells me i'm crazy because i write thank you notes for everything. but come on, when you check the mail isn't it fun to get something that is handwritten...something besides a bill or somebody wanting money...something besides every issue of every golfing magazine ever printed? you know i'm right!

besides, i can't remember a day when i didn't write thank you notes. i think my mom made me write the ones for the gifts people brought me when i was born. i'm not saying i always liked to do it, but it's just something that i've always done. so, i still do. (except my mom and sisters-in-law don't usually get one...they know i love them.)

anyway, now william is in on the action.

a lady whose husband works with chase brought a gift over for reed last week. to their excitement, she also brought william and wes each a cupcake. as i was writing a note for the gift, william said he'd write one for the cupcake. i had to help with some spelling, but otherwise he did it all by himself, and he was so proud of it!



1 down...2 to go. and that might be a while considering wes would rather eat the crayon than hold it in his hand. you take what you can get!!

anastasia doesn't stand a chance - or a choice. regardless of where we live, she'll know it's an expectation. i guess i better start being more timely with mine - i've heard our children don't do anything we don't do!
