So….PLAY ROOM/BASEMENT!

Lisa January 23, 2010 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

Some time ago, I wrote you of the LIBRARY BEING CHANGED INTO MY PLAYROOM.   Well, it seems I have outgrown that space.  Not that I am not keeping it as my own…  cause…. I am!

Today I noticed, not only is the LIBRARY MINE.   By the way, boy do I love books.  I love story time, and some books  (my favorites) Nana will read over and over for me!    I have not mastered books with soft pages yet, I want to be a little rough… and tear them, but board books… WOW!  Love ’em!  

The FAMILY ROOM  is ALSO  MINE  as it is AFTER ALL  the main room for my days with Nana since she cannot do stairs or get about as much as she should… but now … and added bonus,  THE BASEMENT IS MINE!  Thank you Uncle Nick for moving back to Camp during my transitional period here…. I love my  – YES MY – flat screen TVthat  you have so graciously donated and shared with me ( and I use the term ‘shared’ loosely).  It plays all my favorite shows and DVD’s.  I love the soft and cuddly couch!  I also am pretty fond of the TOYS THAT ABOUND SINCE MOM, DAD AND SANTA CAME TO VISIT!   I have my own PRINCESS PLAYGROUND!

So this is my PRINCESS PAD these days… groovy huh?  Here is my photo shoot.

Not that I have to tell anyone this… here… but you do know who is the boss down here… right?

Well, a full day today.  Nana packed up some things for Great Papa, and we gave them to him earlier today.  I have to say… going to see Great Papa was fun.  I love the elephant toy and clowns at their house.   BUT I MISSED GG-MA!  It is very wierd to be there without her there too.   Miss you and you two will be back together soon!  Boy oh boy does Papa miss GG-ma, you can see it on his face!  Ahhhh…. ‘young’ love!   Well Mom and Dad, it sure is lucky that you and daddy are together there in the land of sand… to be without me, and eachother would be even harder.  This way you have each other to make you smile… and photos of me of course!   Until tomorrow… please know I am as always, YOUR LITTLE MISS ADORABLE… YOUR SWEET BABY GIRL, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Friday is JUST NOT THE SAME!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Here I am looking at my own reflection! Telling myself… YOU ARE ADORABLE!

With Great Grandma in Florida, we don’t meet with all the campers  and myself for FRIDAY FUN NITE, and it is just not the same.   Nana misses it, so does Poppy and … let’s just say… we need to some how find a way to connect FLORIDA TO MICHIGAN AND CALIFORNIA !   While at it, lets connect Tennessee Texas and Pennsylvania and Washington state too.   Hmmm..  that would look pretty crazy!  California, Michigan,  Washington, and Florida, with Tennessee, Texas and Pennsylvania…  weird huh?  But it sure would make things easier!   SPECIAL NOTE TO CUZ MISSY… HERE’S MY PLAN!  I want everyone to know  I am not alienating all of the other states out there, just know …. I am only showing the few that I need IMMEDIATE  access to!    AND MY WEB PAGE ISNT BIG ENOUGH FOR ME TO COMPLETELY  RE ARRANGE ALL OF THE OTHERS…. BUT YOU GET THE IDEA!    MAYBE if at Fort Hood Texas should be in the middle… but what about all those GREAT LAKES…oh Nana, I know how you love the lakes?

I had an awesome day…. look how much fun I had getting all my ducks in a row…(wonder who taught me that?)

Nana says… I am lookin’ for trouble here… I say… I am just being cute and adorable.  Nana agrees… she just can’t get enough of this face!  This laugh, and these cheeks…WHICH I FEAR SHE WILL KISS OFF SOON!  Send instruction for her to stop please!

Well, Mom and Dad, as you can see, things here are pretty much the same….I smile and all of camp smiles with me… and to prove it… here is one more shot of me today…  tell me does it make you smile?

Maybe Nana, Poppy and the campers lean towards being non objective in this… after all they get to hang with all this cuteness every day.. but  they seem to think I have the magic touch… and dare anyone to spend just a few moments each day pondering the photos on my page… only to leave feeling better, happier, and just a bit blessed for seeing pure and innocent happiness.   I pass my pure innocent happiness to you and all the soldiers serving… hoping it gets you through one more day, or one more night, until I, write you again, and say, as always,  I am your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow, awaiting your return…your sweet daughter,    

Guillianna!

P.S. 

TO ALL THE CAMPERS… Nana is sorry she has been so tired.  I think I will let her sleep a bit more tonight…and we have a weekend of fun ahead.  I am sure of it.   Great job at school, and keep ‘your head in the box’…. everything will work out… Nana knows mom and dad have so much to think about and she has not forgot that you are all working hard too.   She knows we are all keeping camp going and making it so fun…and that we are all cheering Mom and Dad on,  she  says…THANK YOU to all of her camper helpers.

Is there a Shark at Camp Nana?

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today is THURSDAY, and Great Aunt Pam, came all the way to Camp to see me…. good thing too, cause after yesterday and my excursions, Nana was so exhausted.   I think she is happy to have a rest at camp day.   Great Aunt Pam came out after work and she played and played with me until Poppy came home from work.  NANA loved her company and help! 

Earlier today I got a bath… and was fresh and smelled so sweet from the lotion you sent to me!

Don’t I look awesome!

I am feeling awesome, and doing even better.  Everyone here at Camp Nana is in agreement with Aunt Nori… we will LET Nana call this place “Camp Nana” but we all know who really calls the shots here… at my army brat central here in the Mitten State…  for me it’s CAMP LE GUGE!  What I want, when I want, and all in good moderation… no over indulgence here.. just lots of love and people everywhere wishing me the best… IT IS…. AS THEY SAY… ALL GOOD!

The best part about camp I think is that all the bigger campers, as well as Poppy and Nana, are well aware of time… they know it is passing fast, and that our days and nights of  FOLLOW THE GUGE, OR Guillianna Says! are few.  They are making the most of it.   They are all relishing in every single moment, and we are all happy.   No one really knows the exact day I will move home with you and daddy…but they will be happy then too, knowing that I am finally with you.. and that “my true life” with you and daddy will BEGIN!    It’s all  going to be good… and we will all be in a Win/Win situation!  So you ask… how was the day?   Well let’s see..

Here I am with Great Aunt Pam, and maybe you can see how much fun we have.

She loves me to pieces… and well, RIGHT BACK ATTCHA AUNT PAM… RIGHT BACK ATTCHA!

After a long day at work, she comes over and has smiles and energy for me… that I just love…. Thank you … xoxoxox!  She even got on the ground and played Guillianna Says! with me and the campers!  So fun!

Oh, I see…

Eating it works…

Especially when it seems I am getting more teeth….

on the bottom, Nana says I am a little Shark…

and yes… I nibble a bit..

no real drama though… just a little Nibbler every once in a while… between being  A  Horse, A  Sheep, A Dog, A Cow, I am now also A SHARK!

A very cute and adorable little array of animals…

I love you both very much, and hope that until I write again tomorrow, I am as always, your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your sweet and happy little baby girl…

Guillianna!

A MISNOMER? CAMP LE GUGE!

Lisa January 20, 2010 3Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

So the Marines have a base called Camp Lejeune, in North Carolina, and well, I have been here at “CAMP NANA”, which I personally feel is a misnomer. You see, tonight I am officially petitioning to have it changed…. to CAMP LE GUGE! An awesome army brat and I use this term very loosely, as I am not fond of it, and truly not a brat, Yes, a new army brat base here in Michigan that is ALL ABOUT THE GUGE! If you read on, you will see why the petition, but first… let me tell you about my day!

A DAY TO REMEMBER!

Yep, I have had a stupendous and simply outstanding day here at camp. First … it started with sleeping in just a bit… ‘your welcome Nana’. And then, I ate my breakfast which was delish… and I got dressed for a special lunch, where I learned, Miss K is not moving away to Amarillo, but hangin near camp till graduate school begins… we celebrated with Tex-Mex followed by some ice cream, and basically, I had a blast. Met some other little ones at lunch, and TALKED ACROSS THE RESTARAUNT TO THEM QUITE LOUDLY FOR A WHILE… fun fun fun! Since it was just us in the place, it was all good, and I really did have fun. Any trip out of camp is a good time! Uncle Nick has school, as did all the Auntie Campers but Miss K Nana and I … we had TEX MEX! Maybe when everyone is off for winter break we can all go for CHEESY QUESIDILLAS! Yep – that is what I got, my own Quesillidilla! And it that was not enough… just wait… I went to GOLDFISH MINI CLASS TONIGHT and Poppy filled in for Uncle Nick who had school!

No, this photo above, was not taken today as Uncle Nick was at school, but since No BRAIN Nana, left the beast home at lunch… well this one from the other day got to be posted!

So after lunch, ice cream and a quick stop to pick up THE BEAST we were off to Mini Class… and Miss K… she came to cheer me on! We had a blast. I LOVE THE POOL…. tell me do I look like I am having fun?

I had so much fun in that water… that I cannot even tell you..

Poppy is so nervous but me, I didn’t cry for any of my underwater swimming, and I actually come up looking for APPLAUSE from the crowd, and I GET IT. Great Papa came to see me too. He was so impressed with my progress. When I first started, I was so tiny… and now… I am in my GOLDFISH MINI WET SUIT AND I AM REALLY LOVING THE WHOLE GOLD FISH MINI THING. One thing bad though, is that my GMP otherwise known as GOLD FISH MINI PARTNER… Uncle Nick, has late night class every Wednesday now…. Nana may try to find a class time where he can take me again, because we are buds in the water…and I miss him. Plus Poppy has a diabetes lecture series he does on the last Wednesday of each month so he cannot take me. And Nana… well she’d sink!

I WAS AMAZING TONIGHT!

AND EVERYONE WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE ME DO SUCH A GOOD JOB!

I went down the slide into the water and Poppy’s arms!

I came out with a smile and wanted to play in the water some more…

Want to see?

This is me… proud as can be, and lovin’ every second!

You would think this would tire a little camper out … but no..

I tend to be full of energy after my swim sessions.

My great Papa got me some dinner, and I was ready to go till all my Auntie campers and Uncle got home from their respective schools.

I told you it was a jam packed day of COOLNESS!

A special note to Uncle Nick, in honor of your new class, I want you to know Great Papa took me to dinner, and I ate thinking of you. I had some eggs, some bacon, and some pasta, and Nana says that qualifies officially as PASTA CARBONARA! Missed you much GMP!

So when I started my love letter, I told you of my plan to petition a name change here at CAMP. I am all for correcting the erroneous title of CAMP NANA, and “allowing” the use of it’s true director in the title…CAMP LE GUGE. Yes it is here in this little Mitten State, where campers are led by one GUILLIANNA… AND HERE is the supporting documentation. Please notice that after my long and full day of activity… I am not too tired to show my Auntie campers a trick or two… I like to call this drill… Guillianna Says, or FOLLOW THE GUGE!

Yep…. CAMP LE GUGE! hoo haa!

As always, I am your Little Miss Gold Fish Swimmin’ Mini, Little Miss Adorable,

Guillianna!

The way I see it, I am 13 months old, I can get a group of adults, to do what ever I want when ever I want… and to be honest… better than Nana could ever accomplish…

So what do you think… “CAMP NANA?” or “CAMP le Guge?” Accepting votes
