Our first Page - Maddison

During session at the capitol they hire "pages" - kids 14 to 16 years old to come help and learn about the legislative process. They pay them and need houses for them to stay. This year we signed up to house them if they needed housing for the week.(We get paid a little, too) What happens is we have some girl come and stay w/ us starting on Sunday night and leaving Friday. We (I) have to take her to the capitol every morning by 7:45 and pick her up at 5. We're in charge of feeding them breakfast and dinner. This is Madison, our first page. We really enjoyed her this week. She fit right in... being silly and she can touch her tongue to her elbow!! Which in our family is hilarious because we have this family joke about trying to get tape off our elbow... thats all I'll say about that (you had to be there to see it as soo funny) We're hoping she can come again.
