Nana just got a call- mom and dad are safely in the USA. Not to Fort Hood but in USA! Thank goodness. WELCOME HOME MOM AND DAD! They have to be debriefed and I will not see them for a few weeks but they are out safe. They are in the USA. They are coming for me! 🙂
Dear Mom and Dad,
So today my spirit stick efforts could not help the Red Wings and yes I am sure we can officially blame Nana on this one ! I was looking pretty adorable all day. You will see the day begins with an adorable and charming Guillianna – who awakened in PJs like any good little spirit stick does, right? Then a super fast change into clothing of the day. Yep looking princess adorable is always a good plan. But Nana please …. tell me did you factor in any SPIRIT WEAR? So here I am this morning… just playin’ away… Jammers and all… having a blast… looking the part!
Then I got dressed…. or Nana dressed me… I think I prefer that… yea, Nanster… picked out my outfit for todays PLAYOFF GAME…
UH…. NANA… “RED” Wings… and Coyotes… ? Hmmm… this is not Tinkerbell meets Sleeping Beauty?
I can try to make a magic potion, but it is not looking favorable right at this moment….
and I am not sure Spanish rice classifies as a Wing Nut solution here…
Oh me… oh my…
What to do…?
Well to all my fellow ‘wing nuts’ I say let the chips fall where they may – but you tell me. I look like I should be at the official midwest mitten state fairy follies not in Hockeytown! Goodness Nana, what where you thinking? Let one of my campers help you dress me Tuesday please! The wonder pets – my little favorite character Ming Ming would be telling you THIS IS SEARWEEOUS! Not one ounce of red on this little body! Me and my little WonderPets will not be able to save this game day!
I had fun playing with the campers today. It shows and despite the Red Wing loss Nana has a whole entire nite of Playoff Hockey to watch and think about her neglect in this SPIRIT WEAR MATTER. Yes. You can stop laughing anytime – THOSE WHO KNOW NANA, but at one OCLOCK in the morning – mitten state time she will be cheering on Cuz Noah’s sharks. Crazy Nana – maybe I should dress her in some pink frilly fairy shirt! Send her out to the hockey wolves and show her THAT IS NOT SPIRIT WEAR! Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, I just thought I would brighten your day with the happenings around here….
and as always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, win or lose…, your daughter,
Guilllianna!
Dear Mom and Dad,
Today Great Grandma Sally turns 81 years YOUNG. She is your mom’s mom… and if we were all together in the same room, it would be four generations of life! It is not likely we will ever see that happen, due to our proximity in this world… but last September, I got to meet your Grandma and Grumpy. It was very lucky!
Today, I am helping Nana send her mom a birthday wish… and at the same time… I am telling my mom that one day… when I am a bit bigger, and lived a little longer, I too will send you birthday wishes… and you will know that Moms and daughters love each other… your mom loves you… just like her mom loved her… it’s a great thing I hear… and I look forward to wishing you HAPPY 81RST BIRTHDAY… JUST LIKE Nana is doing here…
Dear Mom,
If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
If I could find you sapphires
for each truth you’ve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you’ve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you’ve shown.
Then you’ll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I’m sure you’re well aware
So I’ll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.
Happy 81rst Birthday Mom!
Love Lisa…. Love to all the mom’s who give what they have to their daughters, their children, and ask nothing in return! Great Grandma Sally adopted Nana…. many years ago… Nana well she feels so lucky and tried hard to pass on to Momma and all of Nana’s kids… gifts she has received… Great Grandma has felt pain beyond measure in her now 81 years of lifetime… as all grown ups eventually do I hear 🙁 and well Nana says my momma too has had some really crazy hard times too when she was very small until life brought her opportunity to live free, and have a life with me. These four generations though… they have worked through it all, and the photos today… me with Great Grandma Sally, and below of me… show… the kind of thing… that LOVE and ‘promises kept’ can do… Nana and Poppy keep promises… that were started by their parents before them, and you and dad… well, your promises are rich in a tradition, and will be appreciated by this little princess for years to come….
Now … about me…. (it is all about me after all…right? I just wanted to help Nana out a bit… ya know she is a mush monster!)
I do have to tell you about this special day… we could not have cake and ice cream, nor could Nana give her mom a hug! I have not been able to give you hugs and kisses, and Nana knows too what that is like when we are separated by space! We all get a little help sometimes to get through missing things we want… TODAY, I TOO GOT SOME HELP to keep me from missing you and daddy. GREAT AUNT PAM AGAIN FOUND SOME THINGS THAT TAKE MY MIND OFF ‘GUGU STUFF’, like missing you two for so long….
GREAT AUNT PAM came to visit, bearing gifts once again, THE MOST ADORABLE LITTLE BUMBLE BEE OUTFIT THAT I HAD TO MODEL, AND I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A CAMPER WHO HELPS AROUND CAMP! I am so not kidding when I say… I have been having fun all day with a gift from my Great Aunt Pammy! Crazy as it sounds… GREAT GRANDMA SALLY HAS THE BIRTHDAY… BUT I GOT THE PRESENT, AND Nana says, Great Grandma would be happy for that… Crazy huh? Look at me Mom and Dad… I am just too cute!
And if you can believe it.. a mop, and a Swiffer! You think this is not the face of one happy baby… well..
As you can see, I am truly the luckiest and yes, I am sure a bit over indulged baby in the Midwest! Or possibly all the land, and everyone wants to see me smile and be happy so you and daddy know… I have enjoyed camp …. that you have done so many wonderful things for me by finishing the work you started.. and giving me the start of my lifetime here with Aunties, Uncle Nick, Poppy and Nana… the supporting crew around me… nation wide (SO MANY LIKE Miss Sherry in Florida, and friends accross the globe)… has been UNBELIEVABLE, and in these last days of camp I have been trying to show you the amount of love that has been sent to me from near and far as if to say… “WE KNOW LITTLE GUGE, there are no real toys, or ways for us to say… how special the love your mom and dad have is, but we are all here for you”… cards, letters, of love have been sent, birthday wishes from near and far… holiday gifts and ‘just beacuse’ gifts all saying… YOU GUILLIANNA ARE YOUR PARENTS DREAM COME TRUE, they would be right here with you if they could, and until they arrive… you are the baby who will want only FOR ONE THING….the safe return of her mom and dad… NOTHING ELSE WILL BE MISSED… “not a single chance to smile, not a single bob, diaper change, not a single step in the process of growing, YOUR EVERY WISH IS OUR COMMAND” THAT MOM AND DAD is what I have been given…ALL so that I YOUR DAUGHTER COULD FOCUS ON ONE THING, BEING A POT OF GOLD FOR BOTH OF YOU, and here I am to say… MOM DAD, I am as always – your Little Miss Adorable, your pot of gold, pampered in love until you return to me… your daughter,
Guillianna!
P.S.
Oh Aunt Nori… I want you to know, I did get your note, and those were just a few of the precious GIFTs I have received in the mail, gifts at the holidays, and does not come close to showing off the things you have sent me too! Bibs for my first birthday and so much more… and the list amazingly goes on and on, like a dignitary from another land I am… YOU CANNOT BEGIN TO IMAGINE THE LOVE AND SUPPORT THIS BABY GUGE HAS GOTTEN, more than 40,000 strong… strangers and family truly have come to my aide in filling in the gaps… Missing mom and dad, well, that was not something we could change… until now… SOON… I WILL BE HOME… and my smile, the adoration I have had these past months… all from loving hearts… who also await their return… IT WILL BE A GREAT and HAPPY DAY!
Dear Mom and Dad,
Uh, yea, I missed my Friday Fun but don’t you worry, I did have company…
Every one of the cute little faces… PRESENTS, FROM FAMILY FRIENDS WHO WANT ME TO BE SURROUNDED WITH ADORATION UNTIL YOU AND DADDY RETURN! Can you see me? Can you see my feet? I loved this photo shoot…. it was fun!
So all in all, despite change in our usual FRIDAY fun I had a great day and loved hangin out at camp. I think every one is really enjoying it in a special way since we know … we are at it’s end… and every second counts. Nana says she is sorry for messing up dinner out, but who knows maybe tomorrow or Sunday brunch will replace our FRIDAY FUN, and I am cool with a field trip ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, know I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,
Guillianna!
P.S. THE TRUTH IS, THIS IS ME, AND MY FLUFFY FRIENDS ALL READY TO WISH GREAT GRANDMA SALLY A VERY HAPPY 81RST BIRTHDAQY TOMORROW…. WE ARE GETTING READY..NANA MIGHT SING… OH NO! LUCKY YOU… 🙁
Too cute not to show you…. here are the other two photos of me and my stuffed buddies…
Lucky me… Nana and Poppy will see it all gets to Fort Hood! I have Backyardigans, and Big Bird, my special GeeGee-Pop, can you see the piggy you gave me dad? Super Wyatt and so many others…. This little sweetie is surrounded by stuffed love, and people love …. and it shows in my face… in my smile and my personality!
But, Mom …. Nana says she has always been NO FUN NANA, AND SAID SHE WAS A NO NO HOCKEY NANA, but whether it be soccer, or gymnastics ballet hockey or a million other things kids love to do… well, somehow it happens…IT IS AFTER ONE IN THE MORNING IN THE MIDWEST… Nana sit alone… watching SHARKS PLAY AVALANCHE… AND an amazing last minute goal that will bring on OVERTIME… HOW CRAZY IS THAT MOM… BUT SHE HAS A NEPHEW WHO LOVES SHARKS… SO she watches… and hopes for him they win.
I BEING THE MOST AWESOME SPIRIT STICK… seem to have A GREAT GRANDMA IN THE PITTSBURGH PENGUIN AND PHILLY FLYER REGION, AND IF NANA IS NOT MISTAKEN THERE IS ALSO A TENNESEE TEAM WHERE I ALSO HAVE FAMILY… SO… THIS SPIRIT STICK THING… IS TRICKY…
But for those who know Nana, and how she was soooooo NO HOCKEY NANA, well I thought you would get a kick out of the fact that one day too mom, you may find yourself sitting up watching a game you never thought you’d be watching…. seems when Aunt Arri and Aunt Alyx and of course Uncle Nick became lovers of the game… there was a change of heart…ONE DAY YOU MAY FIND ME PLAYING HOCKEY, OR SOCCER, OR BASEBALL/SOFTBALL, or like you, and do GYMNASTICS, BALLET, DANCE AND CHEERLEADING BUT WHAT EVER THE ACTIVITY… YOU TOO WILL BE CONVERTED… AND IT WILL BE BECAUSE OF YOUR LITTLE PRINCESS… or in Nana’s case, Shark HOCKEY because her nephew Noah…. A CRAZY LITLE THING CALLED ‘ L O V E ‘ and not necessarily the love of the game…. but the love of a guy out west who is hoping his Sharks pull off a victory…. ! Well it’s time for the Sharks to take on OVERTIME… SO… night for now… and just you wait… when I am big… ya’ll will be at my “games” recitals, or exhibitions too!
SO HERE GOES FOR THOSE WHO CARE….
Red Wing crazy game VICTORY, SAN JOSE… CRAZY GAME VICTORY….
AND those Penquins… yes Victory , and Nashville, a win too.. Philly not so lucky but how fair is it for two chances at a PA win? I am an awesome spirit stick… but … clearly… I cannot hold on to all these teams to take home the cup!
Lisa
