It is Snowing in the Mitten State!

Lisa February 22, 2010 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am here at Camp in the middle of a snowy day !  One of the biggest snow days this winter!    Aunt Arri and Aunt Allyssa left for vacation  at five am this morning in the middle of this storm!  CRAZY!  But the plane left safely, a little late, but out of the snow  and on its way to the west coast!   When Great Grandma moved out there so many years ago, each grandchild has been trying to get a chance to visit, about five years ago Aunt Alyx and Aunt Mikayla have made it there, but  – you mom, Uncle Nick, Aunt Arri and Aunt Allyssa have not… so TODAY IS THE DAY, two more, Aunt Arri and Aunt Allyssa FINALLY GET TO SEE GREAT GRANDMA AND GRUMPY IN WASHINGTON STATE!    Poppy and Nana took me last September.   I am quite lucky to get to go before all the other campers…. but being so little has it’s advantages.  For a while it looked like Daddy could have possibly gotten stationed at a fort in Washington State.   Since time or leave is hard to come by,  Nana knew it may be the only chance I get to visit them, so I got to go first.   All of  the other campers had just started school, and well traveling as huge family is so hard (especially since Great Grandma’s house, most likely could not fit all of Nana’s kids!)   So little by little each grandchild will hopefully get a chance to go…  Aunt Alyx and Aunt Mikayla went several years ago.. and they saw whales…went to Mount Rainier and had a great visit,  I too had a great visit even if we were only there two days!   Uncle Nick is likely to go on his break from school in a month or so…. and right now… Aunt Arri and Aunt Allyssa are in for a great visit!   We spoke with them tonight and they arrived safe and are already having fun.   I am going to miss them!   Aunt Arri always dances with me, and Aunt Allyssa makes me smile… so there will be a little less dancing and smiling here at camp!  ( OR NANA WILL GLADLY OFFER SOME OF HER SINGING AND DANCING TALENT, AND TRUST ME… it will not end up in my love letter…NANA CANNOT DANCE!  IT IS RATHER FRIGHTENING ASK ANY OF THE CAMPERS   🙁   yes, it is true dancing… that could scare just about anyone and traumatize them for years! )   YEARS!

I hope Aunt Arrianna and Aunt Allyssa can get a chance to visit me on the computer just like you and Daddy do!   From the SNOWY MITTEN STATE TO THE  LAND OF SAND, AND THE GREAT NORTHWEST HERE I AM.    AND TO ALL THE PLACES IN BETWEEN, AND ACCROSS THE GLOBE, since I have family and friends everywhere.  Check out my visitor map  its quite busy… and use the little “hand” or expand in different types of view points to see all my friends…. it is pretty amazing mom and dad, people everywhere are waiting and hoping ,  they too cannot wait for you and daddy to come home and for us to start our lives together in our new home at Fort Hood.   They send me messages all the time, most Nana doesn’t post, leaving disk space for PHOTOS OF THE GUGE, but people everywhere, and family in so many places all look forward to seeing you two return safe, and for us to be happy.   To live our lives together, and have peace, good health and happiness! 

Please know  Mom and Dad, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter, (by the way, this is me learning how to blow you kisses)

Dear Mom and Dad,

How are you? Here I am at camp today, playing.   Today, I got from all my  co-campers… my MISS CONGENIALITY award.    Mommy had given me one of the Backyardigans when she visited me in December.  I now have THE ENTIRE COLLECTION!   Oh me,  oh my!

I hope that you know I love you and await your safe return from the land of sand. Until tomorrow I hope you will remember that I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

A Busy Week!

Dear Mom and Dad,

We have had a full week.   I have been very good, and last night I slept much better.  I am learning so quickly and I watch and observe every single thing I see.  I am so curious.   I am so smart.   I am also so very good! 

Today I played and laughed quite a bit. 

I had a very good day and took a nice nap!  Yes, I think it is because Aunt Arri let me sleep in her arms for my nap, which is something that I could get pretty attached to, sleeping an being held ALL THE TIME, BUT NO FUN NANA SAYS, NO!

She figures I am pretty princess endulged already, but if I start up this wanting to be held ALL THE TIME  even WHEN I NEED TO TAKE A NAP, THEN THERE WILL NO LONGER BE DUST BUNNIES AT CAMP NANA, THEY WILL GROW INTO DUST MONSTERS!   Nana says nap time is ‘hurry up and get every thing done time..’ so if Nana has to start holding me during nap time, well…. we can all  just know the DUST BUNNIES  WILL   BE RUNNING CAMP NANA!

My shirt says, ‘THAT’S MISS CUTIE TO YOU!”

NOT REALLY, I AM NOT BOSSY LIKE THAT I AM SWEET!

That is the truth… I am so sweet, and loving, I give hugs, and am learning to blow and catch kisses!

  I hope you enjoyed today’s photos!   Stay safe in the land of sand, and know that as always I am, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianana!

Friday Nite Dinner with Uncle Dave, Aunt Kris and the Boys!

Lisa February 19, 2010 0Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

This week has passed by, and things are good.   Tonight I had dinner with Uncle David, Aunt Kris, Brian and Steven.   Uncle Nick is still away, and me and all the Aunties had dinner with Poppy, Nana and his brother and wife which was nice.  

The stuff that my pediatrician gave me for my remains of exzema, worked like a charm and I am doing good.   I only have to see him once more before you come home, and then… it is back to Texas … to a nice four bedroom home for me, wow, so cool.   That is good news.   Nana is beginning to pack up some things- but only the things that she can, and she will have to wait on the stuff I still use.  Then you and daddy can load it in daddy’s car and take it all to our home.   It is exciting stuff.  Nana says you will be reading me stories soon, and teaching me all kinds of new stuff.  She says you and I will have so many fun things to do.   Do you know what time it almost is?  IT’S  almost ‘BABYTIME‘!  AND I AM EXCITED!   We will take stroller rides together, play with Winnie the Pooh,  you and dad can play GUILLIANNA SAYS WITH ME!  It will be grand!  We can watch The Wiggles, and the Sprout Channel, I love Chicka and the Sprouts Wiggly Waffle Show…   We can eat breakfast lunch and dinner together, and we can dance and sing… and do all kinds of  play  –  VERY SOON!    

Last night, it was a NO SLEEP NIGHT.   We can call it a NSN, like they do with things in the Army.   I don’t know why I had so much trouble sleeping, but maybe I am just all a twitter with things I am learning, or teething, or … maybe I am fighting a cold.. even though there are no signs of one really, but I didn’t really fall asleep until five this morning!   I laid in Nana’s arms, I was strolled, and was walked, and talked to… and no matter what, I fought sleeping.   Ten or so minutes and then up… but after five, I slept til about nine so … I really do not know what was up.    I am not running a fever, it does seem as though… I am getting more teeth… that is true, but for some reason I just wanted to be up last night.   We will see if it was just last night or a new sort of teething/insomnia thing.     I definately have no interest in the passy…. and want to bite on something… Nana thinks it is a one night deal, but she will keep you up to date on any new teeth.  It is odd, because I am happy and comfortable if she rocks me, but I am tossing and turning if in the crib and then I wake up wanting to BE UP, sitting up in the crib calling out to both she and Poppy!   Maybe I just miss Nana’s singing  🙂   So that Poppy can sleep a few hours she took me out and we strolled, ‘rock a bye the baby’ and just about did anything possible to get me back to sleep… which occured at 0500 hours!  Crazy… good thing Nana is a no sleep Nana… and doesn’t care… she keeps telling herself there are only a few more days to hold the Guge, so she is cool with it.   Just wants me to be comfortable and happy as can be, and is hoping the teething thing gets easier!

Aunt Arri and Aunt Allyssa leave on Monday for a few days, so I plan on giving them a true ALL ABOUT GUILLIANNA work out this weekend on PLAYTIME!   They are going to a theatre thingy while Nana and I hang at camp on Sunday so I am working on making plans for tomorrow that are ALL ABOUT THE GUGE!    Some ball pit time, some walkin about shoppin time… some dancin’ time… by the time I get done with them, they will need Great Great Grandma Sally’s for Rest and Relaxation!  Aunt Mikayla and Aunt Alyx are also off school but are staying at camp with me and Nana…(bet they are happy about that)  and Uncle Nick…well – he has school until his break later…

So things here are pretty much the same, all the animals at zoo Nana are keeping her busy… but doing well.  I am a walk in the park compared to them… trust me!

Please remember as always, Mom and Dad, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your sweet baby girl..

Guillianna!
