Encouraging Words

Madalynn is working on a new blog post. I wanted to post the encouraging e-mails I've received in my e-mail box in response to the e-mail I sent out announcing her blog, in the meantime, so she can enjoy reading them.

I wish I could share with you her joy in bringing me a written blog to "edit," watching her run for her camera every time she finds something interesting to photograph (which is often), and then sitting on the floor pecking out her writing on the computer.

From Grandma Chadd:

Hi Jae,

Tell Maddie I loved looking at her blog. Tell her to be sure to take a picture of her tea set that she painted so everybody can see how artsey she is, and I'll be looking forward to seeing some butterflies soon. I can't figure out how to make comments on blogs so just thought I'd pass this message through your e-mail.

Love,
Mom

From Alicia Addison, a very good friend from college:

Jae, tell Madalynn that I LOVE her blog! What a great idea for her to learn. You are such a great mom!



From Erin Pleune, my good friend here in Louisiana and fellow home school mom:

That is awesome!! I'm so impressed with her artistic ability, well, I know where she gets it from!!



Vince and Julie Avila family, very good friends we met through friends:

How Cool!!! It looks great!



Melissa Riche, my good friend and Madalynn's good friend Karlie's mom:

I love it! I am going to let Karlie do one over Easter holiday. She has been wanting one too.



JC Wilson, a good family friend and my Dad's cousin:

How clever & sweet Jae, thanks so much for sharing. God Bless/Jc

Pretty Pots

Mom is making her garden look better by planting more plants. She got new plants for her pots. It is looking much better than before.

Pizza and Float Fun

Today we ate pizza and a float. Instead of pizza, my Dad ate a float and sandwich. that is another story. Itwas fun, as you can see on their faces. Of corse, Justis didn,t like his pizza but it was fun anyway

Mom's note: Daddy's special "float recipe" is lime sherbet with Sprite! So yummy. Of course, we do vanilla ice cream Pepsi floats, too.

The Latest Catch

Yesterday we came home from Luke's house in seperate cars. Me and Mom drove in the van and the rest rode in Dad's new truck. Me and Mom got home first, and when they got home Justis came inside and He said to me, "Get your camera." "Why" I asked. He said' Because Dad is going to pull the surprise out of his truck and there is this turtel.

Jumping

Me and my brothers and sister jumped on our trampoline we got for Christmas I helped my grandpa and Dad put it together.

My Birthday Presents

Hello, my name is Madalynn Davis, and a few days ago I turned 8 years old. I've been asking for a camera. Mom and Dad got me one on my birthday. Mom said I could open my own blog and we did. If you look at my pictures you will see what I got on my birthday.
