Pen Pals

letters from afar
Lise also sent some German soccer cards.

Last year Cailey started writing letters once every couple of weeks to help with handwriting, vocabulary, spellling, and writing skills. She mainly wrote notes to her friends who lived around here or thank you notes. This year she's been writing them weekly and has more people to write to. She writes to Nonny (in Maryland), Rebecca (in Salisbury), Lise (in Germany), and a few others that flew out of my brain at the moment!

Lise was a teenage helper with AWANAS last year (and the year before) and Cailey LOVES her! She's in an exchange student program in Germany right now and Cailey's been able to write her, chat on Facebook with her, and Skype with her! Lise introduced us to Skyping...thanks! The first time Cailey skyped (and chatted on FB) she was super excited!

She loves getting mail and now loves writing letters, too! She says she loves it because she knows she'll get mail if she writes. This year she pretty much does it all herself and is now moving on to two page letters because there is so much she wants to say! If anyone wants a 7 year old pen pal let me know...she'd love some more 'far away' friends to write to!
