2 for 2 day!

Lisa May 31, 2009 2Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am writing to you for the second time in one day, because Nana got my love letter up after midnight last night, and tonight’s makes it look like 2 for today… also,  THE RED WINGS ARE TWO FOR TWO…. AND I have a new job here at camp.   I AM THE OFFICIAL SPIRIT STICK according to Aunt Arri…. she insisted I get my ‘RED WING’ jersey on for the second game of the Stanley Cup finals as I am the family ‘spirit stick’.     I know it doesn’t sound like the job of being a soldier or anything, but it’s a huge job.. and since I am ‘charmed’ I bring everyone happiness and good luck, so they made me thier spirit stick baby!  

I love books…. I love looking at the pictures, and Nana has some where the pages play peek a boo… you lift up the flap and there is a picture under the picture…. love it..!   Here I am reading… or enjoying the colors anyway…

and here is what I think of P.B. Bear’s Birthday Party..

LOVE IT!

And yes, I do realize the book is twice my size, and how much bigger than my mouth, but heck, it looked good, it might taste good… and if anyone objects… I just say I am kissin’ the bear!

Want to see my sandals?

I wanted a pedicure but Poppy and Nana say I am too little… so it has already started… the list of things I have to wait to do…like drive, eat pizza and sugary treats… trust me mom and dad, my list will grow fast, and my princess demands will be HUGE, just you wait…. I plan on giving you and dad a run for your money… that’s my other job… HEY, I WORK HARD.   With so many out of work, and struggling, I am first a princess, second a ‘spirit stick’ and third a crazy busy bucket of curiosity and intrigue.   I do NOT STOP LOOKING WONDERING, LEARNING AND TAKING IT ALL IN…. and don’t figure that will change much, I plan on keeping you and mom on your toes.

What, me keepyou on your toes?

Not me, I am Little Miss Adorable,

Little Miss, who would never cause her mom and dad worry…

hee hee…..

(she said laughing)

Yep, I have a sneaky feeling you two will be busy bee’s with all I will do… I am never too tired for a fun and games, and I am first on board to see what is going on…. up at the crack of dawn and fight going to sleep… so, while you are over there, ( working hard, and involved in this Iraq thing) know I am busy… and in training for when we reunite.   Iraq… it is just your training for parenthood…. hee hee  ( she said with a smirk).

I am telling of my plan here…

I have more facial expressions than you can imagine…

This brain of mine is quite active, and

I am a lot like Aunt Arri when she was small says Nana…

I am …. THE BOSS…

A girls got to get what she wants when she wants it doesn’t she… therefore I am, “the Boss”

So until tomorrow, let me remind you once more, I love you both very much and am so happy for your anniversary, and for my being your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

P.S.

Thanks for calling me today, both of you…

uh, next time you call, ya think maybe you can tell Nana, hey the pants don’t go up to my neck Nana, geez’ I mean really Nana, I hardly want low rise, but this is a little tooooooo high.   hee hee….

(she said hinting to Nana)

Out with Nana…

Dear Mom and Dad,

Daddy called today, and I know he loves me so much…. he calls and I squealed for him, and wished he and mommy a Happy One Year Anniversary.    I spent the day hanging out with Nana.  Aunt Arri has final exams before her graduation, so we let her study, and all the other Aunts and Poppy had to work.  Aunt Allyssa went to visit Ms. Emily on Friday, and spent the day seeing how it is to be a hair stylist in a salon.  Ms. Emily was so nice to her, and has been taking such good care of Great Grandma Sharyns hair for sooooo long, we decided we would take her a bright bouquet of flowers.   I got dressed up in my ‘Princess Daisy outfit’  and took her flowers… and guess who came to meet me there… GG-MA AND PAPA BOTH…. it was awesome.   Nana says, I am really something special… cause when I come knockin’ every body comes running.   They took Nana and I to brunch. 

  We also stopped at the post office and visited Nana’s friends…. sent off a small package to Daddy hoping it will get there in time for Father’s Day.   I also went with Nana to Kinkos, where she picked up some of the supplies she ordered for Poppy’s office.    From there, we went back to camp where I was adorned by all the Aunts, and enjoyed the new season.   Look it is so crazy, if you remember April, there were snow people, made by daddy, now look at it here… Daddy probably hasn’t seen much green like this, California and Texas, just aren’t the same with the desert colors, which are also very beautiful!  Mommy however must miss this kind of green it is really awesome!

Here is the back of Camp Nana now….above and below…

So Nana took me exploring at camp…and I love being outside!

I was loving touching the leaves, and the sunshine so long as it doesn’t get in my eyes…

I finished up the afternoon with a few photos of me unwinding from my busy day.   Sitting back and chilling… telling a story or two as I do…

 This is me in my latest princess pose…

I am trying to discuss with Nana exactly how I like to be posed,

and she does what ever I want, I swear if I told her to take the photo doing a headstand she would..

Now that would be funny,

Nana doing a headstand…. hee hee….

Note to self…  try that some day…

Get Nana to do all kinds of crazy stuff to make me smile…. hee hee…

I was just loving the black beast today… how about you guys… do you like any of these?

I have so much to say these days… I kind of go non stop… and figure sooner or later, they will all catch on to my lingo…

They don’t know what they are missing sometimes…

I can be so funny, I just crack myself right up…

Nana get’s me pretty good though, she laughs at all my jokes, and let’s me laugh at some of her silly mistakes…

I think that today was so much fun because it was your anniversary…. I know that one year ago you two got married, and it went by so fast…. so one year from now, we will be all together again, and if this past year, went fast, then time will go by fast this year too!

Me commanding my troops,  pretty awesome huh, don’t I look like a princess giving princess direction!

I am telling you I have a way with my camp commarades….

and I love it…

and you know what, they love me right back….

Do you know what the title of this photo on the right is?

THE NEGOTIATOR!

This is me, explaining to the princess handlers,

how I won’t cry, or fuss, if they make me A BOB.

It’s all about the BOB.

I like it just the right temperature, and at just the precise time, and when they do it to my specifications, well… no muss, no fuss….

See, now, that is how you make a happy baby!

I am so sorry I didn’t get your love letter done before midnight tonight, Nana is a slacker, but it only means, you will have two to look at on Sunday.   Until then, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter, Guillianna!  I love you both!

I  promise to get Nana on the stick, and make sure they are up before MIDNIGHT MICHIGAN TIME… so you have one a day, instead of waiting for a 2 for day like this one… Nana says sorry!

My 70’s flashback day at Camp!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today is Friday, and Nana, who had changed her ringtone on her phone, is obviously tone deaf and missed my daddy calling me….SO SORRY DAD.   (it is back to a tone she can hear it now daddy – so call again!)  She also heard the house phone ring, but was changing my cute little butt, so we missed another call… all in all it was an odd day for Nana, but a great day for me.   Nana says there is a song that was sung by Three Dog Night in the seventies,  (and trust me when I say…. don’t ask her how it goes)and it said,’the world is black, the world is white, together we learn to read and write….’   It was written by David Larkin and the music was by Earl Robinson in the fifties….in the fifties Polaroid photographs were taken by the thousands in black and white, and color photos and televisions were just a dream – here we are fifty years later, and there is still fighting going on,  people are still arguing, if not over ethnicity, over land, or over religion. 

 THE GOOD NEWS, here I am, in color photos, looking spectacular, and talking with my mom and dad, in a way that could have never been imagined by my Great Grandfather, who served in WWII, there is always room for hope!  I am hoping that the need for mom and dad to be in Iraq passes very soon.   Nana is hoping for a little peace.    Maybe I should protest…and  I should put all my photos up without color until they come home?    Nah…. I wouldn’t deprive mom and dad of my colorful personality in my photo shoots, they are already doing without a lot there, but just  for today I will show you how beautiful I am, no matter what kind of photo I am in… and since Nana is feeling a little melancholy and sad.   I am sure she’ll feel better tomorrow…she just needs a little nap.  It works for me every time…

I ate Oatmeal and Pears for lunch.   I am eating so good, when it comes to fruit, I can say, I LOVE IT.   I helped relieve Nana’s stress of the day by being adorable and letting her kiss on me…  matter of fact, I am thinking mom should charge Nana for my services.   Afterall, I do entertain all her kids, and I make them smile, and there are about a bazillion other things that make them all so happy that mommy and daddy SHOULD charge them for my princess personna!

Nana has me dressed in my seventies hippie attire… and took some photos without color today because Mom and Dad like those too.   Can you guess what color I have on… I hope and pray for peace all the time and that you guys will get to come home sooner than later.   Hoping is good, and Nana says never stop hoping for things like peace and good will and all that other old lady Nana stuff.   She says when people stop caring… then it is time to be sad, and so long as people care, and hope for peace… there is hope for all of us…. while she knows it’s not probable that everyone will ever really get along, and agree, it is nicer to be optimistic than to be sad and live in fear.   So here is to hoping you are home soon, and that the job there is done sooner than later.   HOPE!  Never ever give up on hoping and dreaming… says Nana…. says Poppy,  says thier parents, and their parent’s parents before them.   Hope… like me, I was hoping I would roll over, and then…

Sing with me….Ya put your left hand down, you bring your right hand up… you shake your little ‘hiney’ and you roll yourself about… (geez ya see what happens if you stay at camp too long!) YOU START SINGING THE HOKEY POKEY AND CHANGING THE WORDS TO MAKE IT A ROLL OVER SONG!   Thanks Nana!

Here I am again …  in color or with out… I AM PROUD OF MY PRINCESS MANUEVOUR !

And before I leave you today, I just want you to know as always, I am your Little Miss Adorable,

your princess…. of pink!  (and any other color you can find)

Your daughter,

Guillianna!

P.S.  (I have to take just a second to tell a few of my loyal subjects in Princessland a quick shout out)

Mrs. Pat, thanks for the great e-mail… Will those of us at Camp Nana  be flagging with you this year?

and…

Gappy, I miss you… I know Nana screwed up our visit Thursday, and she is sorry.  She hopes you will forgive her…. but don’t worry or fret, we can make up for lost time… when ever you are available.

To Mom and Dad,

Good night ….

HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU BOTH…

Love,

The Princess!

P.S.S.

Will some one tell Nana ‘spirit’ week is over…. or you may see her dressing me in a toga or something!

Droolianna!

Dear Mom and Dad…

Yes, I am still drooling, enough that Poppy has begun the nick name, DROOLIANNA!

I had a great day.  The dogs, not so much.   THEY TOO SUFFERED FROM THE BIG ‘D’.   And no  – I am not referring to Mr. Griffin’s drooling.  Yes, totally GROSS!  Hopefully they will feel better soon.   Today was rainy and there were people in our yard fixing some things, so they could not easily go outside, and let’s just sayCONSTANT AWFUL BARKING at the people would only mildly describe the dogs behaviour, preventing me from taking any REAL nap today.  So in all I may have rested about 30 minutes.  I am a bit tired today, but I did not let it keep me down. 

I was princess perfect all day, and worked diligently on rolling and drooling and eating, and laughing.  EXHAUSTING WORK !

I have the most adorable little mouth.   Again, what am I saying…

Is there anything that is not adorable on a baby….

especially a princess baby…

So Sweet…

Princess’ are allowed to sit on tables, and show off their princess talents…

GG-ma has me, and I am watching everyone at the table every single second.  Would not want to miss out on any princess gossip ya know…

If I snooze I might miss a laughing op….

Here I am playing the SOOOOOOO  BIG GAME..

A PERSONAL FAVORITE!

Click the link, and you should get to hear me… Aunt Arri recorded it on her cell phone, and Nana put it on to see if you can hear me….

Want to hear me laugh?

Today Aunt Allyssa had plans to spend a few days over at GG-ma’s so that she can spend some time seeing a hair salon from a stylist perspective.  GG-ma was so nice to set it up for her, and she will see what being a stylist is like.   So we met both GGma and Papa Alan for dinner with the family…

and then there is Papa Alan..

and here is your dad… MY POPPY…. who also hates having photos taken, but gives Nana her way(like usual)…. he is so sweet.

 You may wonder why I am sharing my space with them … and the answer is simple… it is all about me.   If you will notice… when I am around I make everyone so very happy…. and it shows in the photo’s.   With so much chaos in the world…. with wars, and financial troubles, worries for everyone, I CAN MAKE AN HOUR AT DINNER, MORE FUN, AND MORE JOYFUL THAN THEY EVER KNEW.   We all escape into Guillianna’s world and smile.   So today… drooling or not, my post is really to send a smile to you ALL THE WAY FROM MICHIGAN TO IRAQ.   Come escape for five minutes into my love letter, and GUILLIANNA’S WORLD it is worth the trip.  As always, I am your Little Miss Adorable,

(what me pay the bill?)

(hmmmmm… can I pay for dinner in “cuteness”?)

(how about if I bat my lashes and sparkly blue eyes, it that like VISA or MASTERCARD?)

(Discounts for princess’, infants in pink?)

(do you accept payment in drool?)

Your  blue eyed and stunning daughter… WHO’S EYES ARE AS BLUE AS GG-MA’S SHIRT…

Guillianna!

I’ve got the ‘Cutest little baby face’!

P.S.

I AM HAPPY,

I AM DOING SO GOOD,

AND I LOVE MAKING YOUR FAMILY HAPPY TOO …

SO YOU TRY TO HAVE A GOOD DAY, AND SEE IF MY GUGU POWERS BROUGHT A SMILE TO YOUR FACES TOO !
