Jump Rope for Heart!

Thank you to everyone that helped with donations to Izabella's Jump Rope for Heart campaign. She earned $660 this year for this wonderful cause!

Busy..Busy..Busy...

Wow, I can hardly believe January is over and now we're almost 1/2 way into February. So much going on. Izabella's Brownie troop is selling girl scout cookies and she ended up selling 127 boxes. YAY! The troop is going to sell at several booths over the next few weeks and well see how many more we can sell. It's been fun.

Now, the Jump Rope for Heart is going on and she's trying to get more donations for that and she can't wait, because last year, she earned the most money at her school and then she came down with Strep throat and couldn't jump rope on the day of the event. She was so upset. So, we're doing it again this year.

Her Brownie troop is always working on another patch and this one is for Community Service and they've chosen the local animal shelter to work on. They are in the process of gathering donations of shredded paper, blankets, towels, wet cat/dog food, pillow cases and then they will take a tour of the facilities and then they will work with the cats. They will get to play with them, groom them, read to them and they will get to see what it's like at the shelter.

Izabella also got her 2nd report card a few weeks ago and it was straight A's again. She's really excited that she will be able to sign up for the Spelling Bee next year. They can't do that until they are in the 4th grade but she's already working on it. :)

We'll see what the rest of the month brings us....
