Last big postcard push...

School is back in.  Maddie is now focused on spelling words and what's for lunch at school.  BUT, I am still obsessed with this project!  Macie (Maddie's 4 year old sister) runs to the mailbox to check for postcards every day. 
It's time to take down our wall of cards and make a cute scrapbook that Maddie can keep always.  Thank you to those who have sent her postcards.  We still need a few more states, so once again, if you know anyone, let us know and we'll get you our address.  We WILL get a postcard from every state, even if it takes us a year!
Still need:
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Missouri
Arkansas
Louisianna
Mississippi
Indiana
Rhode Island
Connecticut
West Virginia
Virginia
(Wisconsin)
(New Jersey)
(Delaware)
(Might have these on the way)
