A visit to DETROIT and Comerica Park!

Lisa July 12, 2009 4Comments

Dear Mom and Dad…

Today my Mommy called, all the way from the land of sand, and we were in the car.   As we entered a parking structure in downtown Detroit mom’s call faded away, and we could not call her back, and she could not call us back… so sad.  We were going downtown for a special day.   Aunt Arrianna, who back on June 9th… (if you want you can check out my love letter from June 9th) graduated, was finally able to celebrate her accomplishment with her family.   For her graduation celebration we went to a Detroit Tiger baseball game.   It was so much fun, and I was absolutely wonderful.   Here is my day for you to see.  We all had a very nice visit at Comerica Park, and I got to meet the team mascot, Paws.  I was so good, and by the time we got back to camp, I wasn’t even tired.   I didn’t fall asleep in the car, and was so happy.   I think Aunt Arrianna had a nice graduation celebration.  Nana, was thinking about you and daddy, they had fighter jets fly over head prior to the start of the game, and during the Anthem, she wished so badly  it were you holding me, at the ball park, until it made her cry.   She thought about how Aunt Arrianna is starting college in the fall, and how proud she has been to be able to say she is a mom to all of her kids.   Nana knows this is very hard for you, and that you miss me, more every passing moment, but today, was a day where Nana was reminded about how TEMPORARY, things are… it used to be Aunt Arrianna who would not sleep, who kept Nana up with some sort of mischief… and and now she is grown.   In a few months, it will be me, keeping you and daddy busy… so busy that serving in the Army and a war… will seem like a walk in the park.   Nana is getting me ready… she says tell Momma, she is teaching me all kinds of things to keep you and daddy busy… (just kidding).   She is holding my hand until you get home!  What seems like forever, Nana says, will pass, and be but a moment… as has the time she had with all her daughters, and son.   It seems like a moment in time… and before she realized it… everyone grew up on her.   Counting the days until we see each other is hard… but in the big picture, this trip to the land of sand, is but a speck of time in our lives, and WE WILL get through it…   CLICK ON MY PICTURES!

Another weekend at Camp Nana has passed.   I had a spectacular day.   I hope you like all my pictures, and remember, I love you both very much.  Until I write tomorrow, please know I am your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Sunshine… and love from Michigan!

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am sending you sunshine and love from Michigan.  

I look like a ray of sunshine don’t I?

I am the most curious baby… Curious Gugu…

I am examining all kinds of things… seeing if I want to EAT THEM…

Well any of you who follow my daily photo shoots will know… I have a love hate thing going with the BLACK BEAST…. again, here I am feeling as though I should show the beast how I feel about THAT FLASH!

I really do like having my photo taken, but , the flash can get a bit bothersome…

I think that Nana, would not know what to do with herself if she weren’t snappin’ up photos of me…  but I like it!

Here I am wanting this little flower….

asking if I can have it with my cute ‘PLEASE?’ face….

and then,

my worried face….

Are you going to take it?

YES…. darn… it was just a prop, not a toy, darn!

So not fair….

So here I am saying hello…

I have not yet mastered the wave, but we work on it every day….

I am growing and learning all the time…

You will see it when I do wave, cause chances are NANA AND THE BEAST WILL CAPTURE IT… after all how could they miss… they are always there!

A L W A Y S . . . . . .

The story I am telling here… well it required TWO hands to get the job done!   This is me, looking to explore something new… I don’t sit still long, and keep soaking up all kinds of new things around me.

Do you think I will always love learning?

I think this being curious thing… keeps me from sleeping sometimes..I don’t want to miss stuff, and so I only cat nap… itty bitty ones… that way I keep up with all the stuff  going on here at Camp Nana!

I had a spectacular day at camp… I brought SUNSHINE  to everyone.. and hopefully now to you.   I will write you tomorrow, and let you know of my activities.   It’s a big day tomorrow… remember when I told you about Aunt Arri, graduating…. back on June 9th.  Well tomorrow we go to celebrate it with the family… I will be there representing you and daddy again, so I will be my adorable princess self…. Until tomorrow, I hope you know I love you, and miss you, and as always am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Good Night,

I love you Mom and Dad, and I am being very good at camp.

All the campers here.. say they love you too… and hope you are smiling after seeing my princess face!

Thinking about things…

Dear Mom and Dad,

Nana loved hearing from both of you … knowing you are enjoying our photo shoot’s and my love letters makes Nana smile!   Mommy knows when Nana is happy EVERY ONE IS HAPPY.   Nana tells me her mom, used to always say to her… ‘A penny for your thoughts?’  Well,  I have been thinking about things…and guess who is right there… capturing them FOR FREE – with a  black beast…. yep you guessed it, Nana!   Sometimes I am just hanging around at camp and out comes Mr. Nikon… jumpin’ into my face… like he owns the place and takes my photo, capturing my thoughts AND guess what….. NO PENNY.   No penny, no dime, no nickel…. just a big fat flash of light… How fair is that?

Today, I am again…

A D O R A B L E …

Do you agree…

It is hard for me to take a bad photo..

Nana has the beast working overtime because it seems I am getting bigger by the second…

I am not growing hair very fast… but that is okay because when I do, I bet I am going to have lots and lots of it like my mom!

Yes, I am truly aware that this is a shoe..

but it is new, and clean, so I thought it would be

delectable!

And I was right..

I enjoy being distracted when Nana and the beast are working, so a shoe works well to entertain me… and so long as it is shiny white and brand new… no harm.

The over the shoulder look…

I am thinking here too.. you have to move your mouse over the picture and you will see my thoughts…. FOR FREE!

(If I had a penny for every thought, well let’s just say, I could buy you one of those palaces in Iraq…)

So, tonight I meet my GG-ma and Great Papa… it’s a Friday thing…or so  it seems, and I love it.   Nana put my love letter up early so just incase you got a chance to see it… it would be there for you.  On my way to have a dinner date with GG and Papa, until tomorrow, I love you … and I am – as always, your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE… whose thoughts appearantly aren’t worth a penny… (Nana says cause they are worth a million dollars), your sweet daughter…

Guillianna

Nana, the Beast…and a Walk on the Wild Side!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Okay – so not to be mistaken with “Beauty and the Beast”, I am telling you…. today was Nana and the Beast Day, and a beauty, eh hem, not so much, however she is quite funny sometimes!

I woke up my usual happy self, and Nana had the Beast ready to take photos… I thought ” isn’t this a little early,Nana?”  She wanted to get me in the sun… which was planning on hiding behind clouds in the afternoon…. so she, the black beast and I, were on a mission… Mission: To Get Adorable Photos For Mom and Dad!

Hanging out in the yard, in my Lazy GIRL chair..

Don’t I look adorable..

I have on pink tights, and a ruffled skirt, and am sitting like a princess.

I have Nana’s lens cap…

and well.. .I am thinking of ways to hide it from her…

Maybe that will stop her!

Where to hide it?   Hmmmmmm………

Maybe I will just eat it!

Then I did my pose for the soldiers…

My version of

UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU!

What do you think?

I am far more adorable than the Uncle Sam image you are seeing in your head… here what do you think…. so cute I could get anyone to ENLIST, or maybe not, but still cute!

It is all about the

A T T I T U D E

and I have plenty of that..

Warning…

CUTE  BABY

With an Attitude!

Don’t think Nana and the Beast were done yet,

because they weren’t..

She was just getting started!  I was in for quite a day… looking for ways to make my mom and dad smile, and forget how far away they are for just a second or two… so here goes…

No we were not done… as a matter of fact… incase you are bored with my PRINCESS IMAGE…. Nana… well she broke down and let me TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE… WOO WOO…. Here are Nana and I…. I’m the cute one… Nana is on your right…

Get ready..

here we go…

Nana and the Beast were on a feeding frenzy…So enjoy me Mom and Dad… TRUST ME you won’t get bored, I am too cute.

I think, Nana just dated herself…

The caption on this shot,

YEA IT’S ME BEHIND THOSE FOSTER GRANTS…

MOVE OVER SOPHIA LOREN?   Hmmmmm

Can anyone say…. ‘OLD’?   It’s okay Nana, we don’t mind that you’re old.  You make camp that much more exciting when you do silly old person stuff.  Nana is cool, I can ask her and she will always tell me it straight.

So when my Great Aunt Nori sent me a tee shirt…

(THANK YOU SO MUCH!)

It got me to thinking…

I asked Nana….

Hey Nana,

“Do YOU think this diaper makes my butt look big…

Nana said, my butt is just right.    That’s what Nana’s do….

So, I have had a great day, and enjoyed my dress up time…

Hope you did too!

Here are a few more for you to enjoy !

Speaking of old…

Nana has trouble deciding what to order when she goes out to eat…. let alone deciding which photos to put up !

So before I leave you tonight, just remember, whether I am taking a WALK ON THE WILD SIDE, or sitting under a shade tree being princess, I am ALWAYS YOUR LITTLE MISS ADORABLE…. YOUR DAUGHTER….THE ONE THE ONLY

WILD CHILD…or… your little PRINCESS…

Your Sweet Guillianna!

P.S.  Thank you Gappy for my Thursday visit… and here is a photo for you… it is me, getting down with my bad self…

(ah… just for the record, I think we are listening to NEIL DIAMOND… ooooh Nana… so wild!
