FROM LAND OF SNOW   …… 

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today is a snowy day here in the MITTEN STATE.   These Michiganders, or Michiganians sure are a wild bunch… Nana was taken back herself by some photos that were sent to her…. take a look at Michigan ….  Yep, it was one of those things that get sent in e-mails all the time, but just in case you are missing me too much, or GG-ma and Great Papa are missing me too much… JUST THINK WHAT YOU ARE NOT MISSING…  SNOW!  Below is a special edition of my love letter and it is all about snow to give all my friends and family that need one…. a good look at SNOW!  MICHIGAN SNOW!    First let me show you some of ME.. after all, this is “all about Guillianna!”  I just happen to be in my first real SNOW of the season here in Michigan, and I love watching it fall.   I watch the dogs, Mr. Griff, all 200+ pounds of him romp around in it with Justice and Liberty who love the stuff too.   It has been very entertaining, but so far no fun Nana has no intention of letting me go out in it and ROMP!   Nana and I played with my fish aquarium, my purse and all kinds of stuff, I am quite the little active one these days… and we had fun.  

Nana says, Poppy was SOOOOO close to moving to Marquette Michigan at one point… WOW…. can you imagine this much snow?

I had a great day at camp… we had a trip to Nana’s doctor, but then back at camp for playing and more playing.  Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, I am as always your,

Little Miss Adorable, 

your daughter,

Guillianna!

I love playing with my little fish, and my aquarium, JUST LIKE MOMMY USED TO LIKE!

Back to School

Dear Mom and  Dad,

So today was my first day back at GoldFish Mini class, and I had a BLAST!   I saw a few of the minis, and heard Ettai is doing good.   I had the best time, Great Aunt Pam came to watch, and I did the big underwater swim!  

Nana couldnt really capture it well, but here is the one and only shot she did get.   I am under the water and swimming to my instructor.  Uncle Nick was so proud, as were all the Mini spectators.  

 I think Uncle Nick  and the other spectators LIKE NANA WERE MORE FREAKED THAN ME!

But I did it, I did not cry, and I did it about a dozen times!   I was awesome!   Loved when everyone clapped for me, and looked for them to do it!

I am a swimming MINI AND I WAS GLAD TO BE BE BACK AT CLASS.

All my aunties are back at school too, so they don’t get back to camp until late, and Uncle Nick starts next week.  Things here are good. I am getting to be a very big girl and love playing with Nana.   Here I am at today’s photo shoot with the beast, I was watching the Wiggles and Nana wanted you to see how intently I watch them.

I love them, Nana cannot figure out why, but they are so “wiggly” and they dance, and play music… what more could a princess want!   All the other campers love wiggly waffle time… it is all the rage here at Camp Nana… who needs ticketmaster or a concert, when you have cable with The Wiggles on Demand! 

And when they are done, I am usually quite vocal and alarmed that our time was so brief.    No Fun Nana says, too much of anyting is not good… so I have “rations’ of TV time….. how fun is that?

Well, as you can see, I am doing great… and my cheeks are as kissable as ever…. can’t wait for GG-ma and Great Papa to come back… Friday will not be the same that is for sure… all the campers agree… you’re missed!   Mom and dad, I will write you again tomorrow.   Today Nana had the Cardiologist and Surgeon to see and tomorrow one more visit out and about… but after that… it is back to hangin’ at camp and singing 🙁 with Nana!  Until then remember I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Dictation and Love Letters to the Land of Sand!

Dear Mom and Dad,

So here I am peekin’ a boo at you… through my little mail box.    Yep, I am just getting ready to have my love letter sent off to you… and figured, I would show you how it is done…

First I have to sit and give Nana dictation… so I climb up into my dictation chair, AKA “PRINCESS LAZY GIRL” Chair, why I am not sure, since I am anything but a ‘lazy girl’, this dictation stuff is hard work….. and trying to get Nana to get it right…. well that is a whole other ball of wax…

It is essential that a princess be comfortable when giving dictation, and bunny slippers, well they are a must!

Some folks, when doing public speaking imagin the audience in underpants… so when dictating to you and daddy, I have tell my story to objects around…like today’s object was a beany baby heart bear…

Sometimes I must go too fast for Nana, and I have to repeat myself, or start all over…

After I get my love letter completed, ( as shown in the little blue envelope above) I deliver it.. to the mailbox and Nana does computer magic, and whoosh… it’s there in the land of sand!   Cool huh!

After such hard work and having to repeat myself several times, I need a moment … this is my Zen moment…

Music is my favorite, I love it in most any form, proof of that is my ability to stay around Nana when she sings and dances… it’s not a pretty sight… but back to ME… a little Zen, a little piano… and I am good to go again….batteries recharged and ready to play play play again.

Love letters to you and dad is a process that involves all kinds of fun… and now you have seen the behind the scenes look at how it all works…

Hope things are good in the Land of Sand, and you enjoyed seeing your little Pot of Gold today.   I am a cutie… and have been so very good.   But did you expect  anything less?   Until tomorrow please know I am as always your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Hope all is well with the rest of my loyal readers… Best wishes from Camp Nana!

PLAY – PLAY – PLAY

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am loving all the things Santa brought …. I play all day it seems, even when I am learning I am just playing!  I think that I am just about the luckiest baby ever, you and daddy brought me so many things… and then the whole Santa thing… and the Campers, well they are just a blast!   My name should be “LUCKY Little Miss!”

Too cute!

I miss both of you very much, and there is no doubt it will be fantabulous when we are reunited for good, but I hope you both see I am doing great, and  let me say… the campers are trying their best to keep me distracted from missing you, entertained all the time, and teaching me all kinds of stuff …. Hopefully one day, you will both be thinking about how awesome you have made it for me by sending me to Camp Nana, and how I got to  get a great start, and prepare for a lifetime of fun with both of you.   There is no doubt the best place to be would have been with you both from the beginning, but this is alright for me, and most difficult for you guys.   I know your heart is lonesome for me, thus, I WRITE.   I want you to feel okay inside, and happy with where I am.   I won’t remember any of this, only from my love letters.   What I will remember is going to the zoo with you, and school plays, and art classes, or soccer.   Things like that, and I most definately won’t remember Camp.  I will have a photo of my lego chair, and that’s how I will know  I have my own princess thrown made of Lego by Aunt Arri, and look a Wonderpet that Santa brought me.   I am talking with Ming Ming of the Wonderpets, a personal favorite! 

We are almost a whole week into January… and it felt like two minutes passed us by … (at least to Nana)   so if we did a week in what felt like minutes, just think how fast these next weeks will fly by us…

Here I am, standing on my own, by the little princess thrown I couldn’t even hardly sit in  when I first came, I was soooo small!

I sat and posed for the Beast back last April and had to be propped up… but now, I stand before it and I’m in charge of it! 

Ha….

Okay, so who put ruffles on my butt?

Nana… did you put ruffles on my butt…?  

If you look closely, there is a little chair next to mine… it is a little ‘parlor chair’, that belonged to Nana’s Grandma… she used it to sit by the tub and bathe Nana’s daddy when he was a baby.   It is over 80 years old.   My version in pink is more comfortable, but it is cool that Nana has my Great Grandfathers  itty bitty baby chair.  

I had another great day… and yes, I listened to the WIGGLES AGAIN today, but … you know… they make me smile.  Another thing I love are my “spitties”, and one just isn’t enough, I like two or three at a time!

Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, please know I love you both and am hoping you will see how happy you made me by letting me hang at Camp Nana… you made all the campers happy too… and I think if you look at all the photos it is written all over my little face how happy I am.   As always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!
