I haven't been able to get to the blog for the past couple of days because I've been helping my dad prepare a monster midterm -- in Ugaritic, which is like Hebrew's eccentric grandaddy. Some people think I'm precocious, but this one was easy since Proto-Semitic is my native tongue (basically a bunch of monosyllabic guttural sounds). It was Aunt Amy's idea for me to learn that in the womb -- good idea!
Next, I'm taking up Mandarin -- that should be easy, too, since I've had a private tutor here for the past week -- thanks, Grandma! I'll always be your Xiao Guai Guai.*
What else can I tell you? I'm convinced there are monsters under my bed, but Mom and Dad say it's not so...

Dear Maddie,
Your Aunt Sarah here. I'm glad to keep abreast of your busy days on your blog. Unfortunately, I must tell you that the giant people are not being entirely truthful... there is in fact a monster under your bed. However, I am personally acquainted with said monster and can assure you that she is there purely for your protection. She is a good monster. Feel free to contact me if you need clarification of any further issues.
Love, Aunt Sarah
P.S. You should link up to my site! Maybe I'll do a children's album next. :-)
Everyone at work loves the picture of Madeleine and her sweet little protector! We think of you all daily!
Maddie was born 95th year of the Republic month 2 and day 8 in the Chinese lunar calendar cycle.
In pin-yin, it's bing-xu, xin-mao, yi-wei.
And since the Chinese lunar calendar system was founded it's year 4704, the year of the Dog.
No wonder your protectorate is nearby!
Ask Mom to put that in the scrap books!
