Thank you Kelly Monnin's Secret Pal

You must have read my mind! Over the weekend, I cleaned out the "kid cupboard" in my kitchen and was grossed out at how nasty my bottles, baby bowls, bibs, etc. where! Apparently using them for two kids was the limit. It was so gross that I threw most of it away and resigned myself to having to buy all new stuff! Then today your fantastic gift arrived! I was so excited! The three different bibs are beautiful and soooo girly -- completely unlike anything I own. I love Playtex nurser bottles and nipples. They've always been my personal favorite, and they are so cute in pink and purple. The bowls, lids and spoons will be used all the time -- and I really needed them, too. And the pink sippy cup will be used daily, I'm sure! The pacifiers you sent were so cool! She will look so cute with the little bumblebee and ladybug popping out of her mouth. I've never seen those before, and I love them! Thank you so much! Your gifts are always perfect and so thoughtful!

Secret Pal - Debra Young

I always look forward to your gifts, and this month was no exception. I am totally in love with the tiny green and purple striped bathing suit (no pink - yeah!) and the matching cover up. I love how the stripes are repeated on the hood of the terry cloth robe. Ruby will be the most stylish babe at the beach, thanks to you! The beach/sand toys were an added bonus. In my mind I can see her making sand castles in her cutie pie swimsuit, the butt sagging from a Little Swimmer. Just like you, I can't wait for that dream to become reality.

Of course, the book goes on the shelf with the rest of my mini-library. I believe you have single-handedly filled one entire shelf of that bookcase, and for that I am eternally grateful.

C is out of town on vacay this week with her mom, so the funky rings have a place of honor on her dresser. Thank you for including her in the monthly exchange, it really makes her feel like she's a part of this process.

I hope this month has you out of Review Room and into the Matching Room. Even though we may be on the bottom of the pile, it's one step forward to our girls!

Thanks again, you're awesome!

KELLY RYAN'S SECRET PAL

Well, we have been on vacation for two weeks and came home to a huge box of goodies from my wonderful pal!
I know i have said this before but I really cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful gifts you send for my boys! They just feel so special every month. The water guns, water balls, bouncy balls, fun licks and great activity book were all wonderful!

Of course I just adore the red, white and blue outfits you picked out for Anna Kate. The swim suit and ladybug float ring are precious too!!

THANK THANK THANK YOU for all you do to make this wait bearable for us!

You are the best!

A GIANT Thank You to Lesa's SP!!

Hi Secret Pal,

I'm sorry that I haven't been able to get this posted.....so much going on.

As I posted in my note to the group; all of the goodies you sent this month were absolutely terrific!! Wendy sure loves her Ladybug Umbrella!
The cute little outfit with the ladybugs on the pant leg is really sweet. I love the head scarf that goes with it. Thank you for the graduated size. There is no telling how big Mylie will be when we get her, but even if she is small like we hope for it will come in handy to have ready. I just love it!
The best of all, and that is a close tie with the others, is the Ladybug Measurer. I have never seen one like this and it made a big hit with everyone in the family!!! I can't wait to fit it on the nursery wall.

Thank you for your generosity. You are the best!!

Love, your pal Lesa.

I am a total Weenie

Thank you SP for the great June gifts. I am a total weenie for not thanking you when I received them almost 2 weeks ago. The little footie onesie is adorable, and the bib that goes along with it is perfect for my girl! Natch! I love the Panda feelie book. You have so hooked up the Rubster with the beginnings of a sweet library. It's one of my little hopes that she'll be a reader like me, and I love how much you respect and honor my weirdness on that issue.

C is ever grateful for all of the goodies you send for her, and this month's is no exception. She has big plans for her "box" when middle school starts this fall. She's very preoccupied and excited about getting her Very! Own! Locker! so your gift will more than likely displayed for a while in the Very! Own! Locker!

Thanks again!

THANK YOU so much! I LOVE the taggie blanket! I never saw one as beautiful as this one before! The photo album is also amazing. I cannot wait to put Marili's fisrt summer pictures (next summer- let's think poistive) in it! Also, thank you for the cute puzzle, the cute towel and the "June bugs" travel tags. They will be all put in good use!
