Getting Ready For Swimming!

Dear Mom and Dad, 

I had an awesome day today, we stayed at camp and just did the usual, (played) until the afternoon when Uncle Nick came home and took Nana and I to get some paper, pens and notebooks for all the campers.  We delivered some other office supplies to Poppy too.   Then it was back to camp and time to get ready for bed.   I am supposed to go to Goldfish Mini class tomorrow and I am excited to see my friends and get into that big “tubby”.   I plan to avoid diving… (or sliding) and going under water this week since my ears have just gotten better.

Here are a few photos of the day, I hope you can see my pretty hair that is starting to fill in more and more.

Just in case you forgot what “my” little lens cap looks like….

I will write you tomorrow after my swim class and let you know how I did.  Until then, please stay safe, and know that I love you very much, and as always I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Great Aunt Pam’s Birthday!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today was Great Aunt Pam’s birthday, so I got to go on a field trip to see her.  We took her some flowers because she is so good to me, I hand delivered them to her at her work.   It was so much fun. 

I am getting new teeth… on the top… and today they are breaking through my gums… not a fun thing , so field trips are distracting, and make what is otherwise NOT FUN, a lot better.

I also got to make a stop and see Great Grandma Sharyn and Ms. Iris, Ms. Rosanne, Ms. Audrey, and Ms. Dorothy.  They were all together, and I stopped to make everyone’s day a bit brighter… I do that when I smile…I am not sure how or why,  but Nana says, anytime we can add a smile to the world it is a good thing.  So we went trying to do just that… I hope.

Here are a few photos of the day for you…

I am so sweet, and cute even late in the evening after a busy day of delivering smiles.

This was taken while Nana was getting my medicine ready, and I am not a fan of the antibiotic, I do not care what flavor they call it I say IT IS YUKKO!

Glad I only have four more days of it!

But also very glad to be feeling so much better.

Hope daddy is feeling better too…

Well, I hope you are both happy, and healthy, and that you enjoyed the pictures… I will have new ones for TUESDAY in a few hours…. Nana will not miss the midnight deadline if she can help it.. she is really just slacking again, I will get on her about it.. Love you both, and until (tomorrow) or later today, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

How about those Lions?

Dear Mom and Dad…

I am so certain there are more important things on your plate there in the land of sand… and sometimes, I just write about stuff to take your mind off things there, and make it seem like you are right here in the USA…. so if you were here right now … you would be smack dab ( dab spank) into the beginnings of FOOTBALL.   So silly as it may be, and maybe even BOOOORING to mom.. I am a just trying to get your mind off your worries and let you worry about how poorly these Detroit Lions are doing.  Maybe they need new drill sargeants, or to do basic training at Fort Jackson or something.   Hope your sitting down… cause here is the news… THEY LOST, AGAIN.

Nana is still waiting for some help with this football game thing… and yes even in the land of sand, without any knowledge of football you would most likely do better than Nana does at this.   She  had picked the Lions to win, (because she is loyal).   HA!  They laugh in the face of loyalty… then she picked the Packers, who said no… since they lost too.  She also picked the Patriots, who lost and she chose Kansas City, who also lost … after that she stopped paying attention…  but being that fall was here bring football season – she was just trying to be ONE with the campers… instead she has “crashed and burned”  embarrassing even herself.   Daddy’s Chargers who did not let her down last Monday night, even LOST today.   

Nana… I am so sorry to say, that I fear that ESPN will not be calling on you or offering any kind of contract… that is for sure.   I  however  -love watching the bright yellow pants on the Steelers …  I sat and rather enjoyed my “bob”  and picnicing whilst watching them play.  Nana thinks it is because of the bright colors.   The rest of us girl campers went along with her… but Aunt Allyssa, was telling us how a few of them belonged in GQ or modeling in some magazine, not playin’ football. 

Today was Poppy’s day off work, but it was still TOENAILS on the agenda.  Justice, Liberty and Mr. Griff all needed PUPPY PAW PEDICURES.   So it was nail trimming day.   They are happy to have them cut.   Poppy also took care of Nana’s feet today… ( and let me tell you she has some nasty nasty feet, between being a bit old, to having a rash from latex in her socks… well it is not pretty) So no rest for Poppy, but he never seems to mind.

I am doing better, and hope to swim this week.   We haven’t any other big plans, but since we are approaching Halloween, I am looking forward to being (it’s a secret) the (thing) Mommy said to Nana.   I hope it will be a good surprise for you mom and dad…. Nana will take some pictures with the beast for you and maybe get a video of me doing my FIRST TRICK OR TREAT thing.   I think Aunt Alyx is excited  – more so than I am… she seems to just be a kid in a 21 year old body!     It was a good day here at camp, and I am hoping you and daddy are both okay.   I bet you get a package from me this week… with a little surprise in it … to be sure.  

I was as adorable as ever for the beast today.. and I asked Nana to put a few into my love letter so you can see my snuffy nose is better, and a lot less runny and crusty… (gross, I know)  but I just wanted you to know I am better.

Can you tell, my favorite little cartoon character just came on the screen. 

She is a little Chinese girl… on a show called Ni Hao Kai Lan, which is a children’s cartoon that is in both Chinese and English and teaches things..  I LOVE IT!

I should send you one of my little “spitty” things, they are even better than the little woobie I sent you guys… they go where I go.. because I love the way they feel.   The little edge around the sides, that you can see above it my favorite, I hold them when I am sleeping you can probably see them when you peek at me sleeping. 

All of us here at camp are trying to let you see how big I am getting, and how adorable I can be… the best way is with photos… so here are a few more before I say good night..

Hey those players with the bright yellow pants are Pittsburgh Steelers… bet my Great Grandma is a fan… and I know Grumpy loves the Seahawks… I bet I have family all over rooting for different teams… and they are all probably grateful they are not Lion’s fans!  Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, remember, everything is going to be okay, you will soon leave the land of sand, and rescue me from Lion’s football and we will all live happily ever after… and as always, I am, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

THE BEST JOKE EVER… and the “squeal”

Lisa September 19, 2009 3Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today I heard the funniest joke ever… want to hear it?

[flickrvideo]http://www.flickr.com/photos/30308223@N04/3936361256/[/flickrvideo]

Yea, I find that joke funny.   I tried really hard to tell that same joke to Penelope the Puppy… but she did not find it as interesting as I. Go figure.

I have a thing for remotes, and the telephone… today’s oral fixation was on the phone.. (and yes Nana cleans them)  and I am much less offensive than Mr. Griff when it comes to leaving slobber around.   Mr. Griffin the Saint Bernard has the world’s thickest and most slimy saliva you could ever imagine… don’t be misled by the black beast catching me in the action of a little GUGU DROOL, because compared to  the Griff Monster… my drool is a drop in the bucket…LITERALLY.

So… back to my telephone/remote fixation… ahhhhh look what I have…

and guess what I am going to do with it?

and next thing you know… I am all over this phone thing..

Yep, Nana worries I will accidently call France… I say, no Nana you have it all wrong… I WOULD CALL THEN LAND OF SAND and get the low down on mom and dad if I could actually dial someplace…

You know how I squeal sometimes when you do call… well today the beast captured me MID-SQUEAL … and well lets just say …. I still think I am cute when I squeal… Nana say’s it depends on where I do it… like for example, on a crowded elevator or while everyone is asleep at nite… not so much…. so I reserve this special high pitched little “squeek” for certain times.

I had a super fantanstic day.  I am feeling so good, and being the best little princess ever.  I miss you mom and dad, and hope that my little face cheered both of you up today.   Until tomorrow,  (which I am so pumped for, as it is SUNDAY  – AND ALL THE CAMPERS WILL BE HERE PAMPERING my itty bitty princess tushy!) I send you all my love, and will remind you once again that today as always I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!   P.S.   Before I leave you….. One last little thing… “Bah!”   I am Laughin’ Out Loud!
