Here's a little email coorespondence we had and I am putting here just to have it in print. It regards our newsletter we have started called The Medley Circle:

Me: Hey groupies,
Do you think we should keep our newsletter monthly or do you think quarterly would be better? The majority (not counting the three kids at home) decides and Mom isn't voting. Well, since I am the vice president of the family, I will break the tie if there is one. So let me know right away.
Monthly _______ Quarterly _______
Love, Mom

Rachel: MONTHLY MONTHLY MONTHLY!!!!

Sarah: quarterly. I think I will keep up on it better.
3½ hours later: I answered quartlerly.. that was before I actually read the newsletter. I'm changing my preference to monthly. This thing is SWEET. I loved reading everyone's entries!!!

Hannah: MONTHLY!!

Naomi: i would say monthly. I know that lots happens in my life and i love to share it. i also talk to family members every few days so i love frequent contact.... my vote is monthly.

Dad: Monthly ____x___ Quarterly _______

Majority rules and after Gideon's resounding MONTHLY over the phone, I think that it is a clear consensus, even before the last two votes come in. My vote would have broken a tie with a MONTHLY. So I'll "see" you next month. Love, The Editor--Mom
