Last day of 2011!

Dear Mom and Dad,

So here we are at the end of 2011!  This is great news daddy, it means you’ll be home sooner since 2011 is leaving and you are coming home in 2012.   I can’t wait!   Today’s photo shoot was brief… Nana grabbed a few between my patient’s and my grilled cheese.   Yep, I am DR. GUILLIANNA now… and while I am working hard… and so busy that Nana can’t keep up, I decided to hang out and chomp the cheese to let her grab a few pics for you!

CHOMPIN’ THE CHEESE!   It’s true, I love grilled cheese but Nana doesn’t make them as good as Mommy!

What better way to enjoy a sammy than to hang out on my favorite toy, the GUGU COASTER.

I am relaxing Daddy and Momma, I have a blast here at Camp, who wouldn’t ?  Laying around chompin the cheese, and playing all the time.   I am also learning my letters and so far my favorite one is ‘G’.   Go figure.    Nana says I will be learning how to spell my name…. sometime soon.   I think I will send you snail mail daddy and show you how I progress!    So, you probably want me to share my web site with Eli since he is my brother… and I am happy to share, but I got to say… Eli’s pics are not going to show much variety.   Here is Eli…

He too is “chompin” away, just not the cheese.   We took Eli to see the doctor today and he got checked out.  Dr. Eastman says, he is doing good and gave us a new plan to handle Eli’s tummy problems.   So far it is amazing and he is so happy!   Now back to me…

I went to see the doctor.   He says my ear infections have cleared up!  YEAH!   I am so happy.   I wore my doctor clothes to my appointment and they all wanted to take my picture.

I am cute… aren’t I?   Everyone loves my “daddy dimple” !   Now in case you are wondering about Eli…

Yep… it is a different picture, I know hard to tell, but it is.   Guess what… he is eating.  AND HE IS HAPPY!  Most of the pics of Eli are like this right now.   Nana says he will pose for photo shoots more as he grows.

I think you will be so happy to come home and see us, I know I will, and we are getting closer to that day.   I am hanging out in the mitten state and loving it.   Passing the time… and before you know it we will all be back together again.   While Eli grows stronger I am going to hang with him in Michigan… and then we will go back to Hood with mommy.   Nana is busy with things but promises to get you pictures often.

Let me know if you need Nana to send you a “grilled cheese”, they are so yummy!  Until next time daddy and mommy, I hope you remember Eli is always your sweet baby Eli…

and I… am always your Little Miss Adorable…

Dr. Guillianna!

How Nice Am I? VERY VERY NICE!

MERRY CHIRSTMAS DADDY!

This moring I woke up and SANTA CAME BECAUSE HE KNEW I AM “NICE”!    Yes Daddy it is true Santa came to visit me here at Nana’s.

Look daddy, there were so many packages, and a tea cart too… I love tea partys as you know.. but this is one tea party cart you will really love.   Can’t wait to have tea with you.

See that yellow thing daddy, it’s my new ROLLERCOASTER and I love it.

Here I am riding the indoor RollerCoaster… and it’s a blast.

Doesn’t it look fun!

Here is a better picture of my tea party cart !

I got so many things, including new princess “glass slippers” that light up when I walk.  They are AWESOME!

There were so many things I didn’t know where to turn….  I even got a cardboard paintable house, can you see me inside my house with my new toy ice cream set!   Here Daddy have some chocolate chip mint – a single scoop!

Here is baby Eli on Christmas morning.   He got lots of things too, so Santa must think he’s a very good boy!   But his favorite is still his bob!

Here is Mommy Eli and I on Christmas morning sending our love to daddy in Afghanastan…. and counting days till you come home…

You won’t believe this daddy, Santa must know I love dancing and music…. now I can do both and is it ever fun…

Don’t I look like a rock star daddy?

I also got this awesome train set daddy…. it has 130 pieces… everyone here said that was the best part  I say it is 130 pieces of fun fun fun…. I say the best part is when I get to say CHUGA CHUGA CHUGA CHUGA CHOO CHOO!

I had a fun day daddy…. and hopefully Nana has gotten these pictures up in time for you to enjoy them for Christmas… even it it is later there… MERRY CHRISTMAS DADDY from Mommy, Eli and I….  and while baby Eli was exhausted by it all…..

I just kept on riding the coaster…

All the campers say the smile tells the story…. can you see it daddy?   Do you think I am having fun?

By days end, I think a road the coaster a bazillion times… and I too was wiped out… so before I go to sleep daddy let me say, we love you, we miss you and Santa was good to me.   Thank you daddy for loving us so much to be there working so hard and giving Mommy, Eli and I a safe and wonderful life.   MERRY CHRISTMAS with all my love, your very own, LITTLE MISS ADORABLE,  (and little miss wild child on the coaster)

I am THREE ! AND I HAD A PRINCESS PERFECT PARTY

Dear Daddy, Mommy and Baby Eli,

Here I am ready for my princess party, and I am sending you pictures because I know Daddy cannot come from Afghan – he had to work… and baby brother Eli has been in the hospital at Fort Hood, so mommy has been taking good care of him.   Nana and Poppy are sad they have so many things going on, but they promised mommy and daddy I would have a special princess birthday party … and I did…. SEE ME IN MY PRINCESS PARTY DRESS!      I hope Mommy and Daddy will love seeing me at my princess party….. cause I know I had so much fun!

I am so excited…. let’s get this party started….

These are my friend RILEY  and GRANT she was so excited to go to my princess party…. here we are getting ready to go…. the princess carriage is going to pick us up soon and take us to the PRINCESS TEA PARTY CASTLE!

We all piled into the princess carriage, and I had so much fun!

My Aunt Kiki, and Aunt Allyssa were ready to have tea… the guys…. well they were good sports and went with smiles!

Hey where is Uncle Nick?

There you are!   and where is Aunt Arri…. Nana you’re too close!

Once we arrived my friends Grant and Riley got ready for the princess ball!  Here is Princess Riley and Prince Grant!

I was prepared for the ball by the ladies of my court and before I  knew it I was ready for the tea party to start!

 Was I beautiful Momma and

 Daddy?  

 Don’t think for a minute I

 wasn’t ready for this….

 I was born to be a princess

 and I loved every second of

 this!

Get ready to see my princess tea party … it was so beautiful!

And I was an awesome princess!

What do you think of my friends and I….

We were ready to enter the castle…. hair done, fairy dust in place, and our fancy clothes…. Nana says, we were adorable… and being I am always your Little Miss Adorable, this was a perfect match!

Here ye…

Here ye…

Presenting Prince Grant, and

Princess’ Riley and

Guillianna!

 Everyone had a spot… and pretty china for our tea… I was so good I drank pink tea from a china tea pot, and held the cup by myself.   I put it down softly on the saucer and didn’t spill a drop.   I had princess snacks including a strawberry.   And then everyone sang me Happy Birthday when I got my own cupcake and pink ice cream sundae!

 After ice cream it was time for the ball, so I took my place on my thrown, and songs and dancing began!

I COULD HAVE DANCED ALL NIGHT!

Mom and Dad, this was a blast! Thank you for letting me come to Camp Nana for my Princess Birthday!

I am waiting for Santa to come, and have been very good.   Until I write you again, please please know I love you both, and I am being the best princess!  As always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your sweet…

GUILLIANNA!

Hey daddy, guess what I did this weekend…

Dear Daddy,

I am sending you some pictures to show you what is happing around here these days…  I went back to Fort Hood!   I am not at Camp Nana anymore because I had a special day… I got to fly back to Texas, and Nana and Poppy got to come.   We all got to meet Baby Eli!  Elijah Robert arrived on September 21, 2011 at 8:44p.m.   He weighed 4lbs. 8oz.!

Yep, I really am a big sister!

Look at this… a baby…. for me!

Everyone clap… yay!

He is so tiny dad!   Mommy says, someday he will be bigger than me, but ‘not today’ as I always like to say… 

I am enjoying being a big sister.  

After our long trip back to Texas, and getting hugs from mommy, I finally got to see the little guy and it was so exciting…

He is very good baby daddy, he doesn’t cry – he makes little noises that tell mommy it is time for some of his ‘bob’.   

I was curious and I still am.   He makes noises, and squirms a lot.   Mommy asks me to help her and I do.  My first day home, I got right into the big sister role!  We were in Baby Eli’s room when mommy said we were going to get Eli dressed.   How cool, we get to put teeny tiny baby clothes on my teeny tiny brother, I thought… and she asked me to take his teeny tiny jammies to the laundry basket, and I did… I came running back awaiting my next assignment.   Then she handed me a teeny tiny soft white ball thingy…as she asked me to “take it to the garbage…”  I happily took it into my hands, and paused… stopped in my tracks… looked down at my hands, and for the next minute, let my brain compute what had just happened….what is this?  Hey this looks like a diaper… didn’t mommy remember… if “I” don’t use them anymore, why would I hold teeny tiny smelly ones?   My first reaction or thought… drop it!   My second, was ingenious….I proudly said, “Poppy do that” and  I then delegated the responsibilty to Popster.  What a great idea huh?  

Look at him!   Eli says…. “hey what’s the big deal?”  It’s just a teeny tiny thing… aren’t all things teeny tiny cute?   (Well he is pretty cute and I am a BIG SISTER…  so I guess I can handle his little tiny dipes if mommy asks)

Thumbs up!  All is good, and ‘little guy Eli’ is dressed and ready to go! 

I was a sucess… an awesome job as big sister… not only did I help my mom… but I knew exactly when to call in the troops… thanks Poppy for the help.

After all the waiting – I finally got to hold my brother – and give him his first kiss from his big sister!

I am very happy daddy… and will be so happy for you to come home and see us.   Until you come and hold us both we are sending these pictures your way to make your days brighter!

I love his little toes daddy, I keep asking mommy to take off his socks and then I give them a kiss.

From the little guy himself, sweet “Little Guy Eli” ,  AND LOOK DADDY…..

ITS MEEEEEEEEE…. WHEN I WAS BORN…. Yes, its hard to see since I was wrapped up like an Eskimo, but I was in the Mitten State where the snow was blowing and the air was colder than cold… but look ….he looks like me!

and your Little Miss Adorable,  we love you daddy… and we can’t wait for you to be home on leave…

Guillianna!
