Shelly, your blog is great! I saw you mentioned it the other day on the Holistic Family G1/G2 list and just got around to checking it out. What fun. We're also on our second batch of letters and its really fun to see what you're doing with them. You and your boys are great artists! I wish I also had a blog to share what we're doing but I don't think I could keep up with it right now. Thank you so much for sharing what you're doing. Ellen
