These kids all went back to school today. They surely miss you both. I can’t believe how big everyone is getting.

Poppy and I hope your school days are going well. We really hope you both love your new teachers. I also hope the lunch love stickers I sent were a fun surprise.

When Sebastian comes out this week I will capture some new photos. I thought maybe you’d like to see him. With Coles party coming I can get more of him too !

I don’t know if your in gymnastics baseball cheer soccer or what ever after school activities you could be involved with but I hope they are so so so fun. we will be excited to hear all about them sometime.

We hope every day to see your faces hear how your days are and make plans to visit … until then you can be sure you’re loved so so much. That we keep you so close in our hearts and we never have ever said anything different than what is true. You are the best kids and we have had the best memories. Never let anything change your memories and this journal will keep them safe for you one day. Hope you’ll always know that there are so many people in Michigan sending wishes for fun times and happiness.

With back to school and fall activities coming up it will be fun for you to decide what you will dress up as for Halloween, and Elijah will have a birthday in a few weeks. I can’t believe it. 7 years old! So there are lots of things to look forward to and be excited about. Stay sweet and kind … thinking of you both !

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Love always and forever

Today I visited old friends …

Today I was lucky to be asked to help Ms. Beth – it’s the day before Notre Dame returns to school here in the Mitten. Seems Rylee Liam and Haleigh needed something to do and I was given a chance to visit. So I hung with them for the day. Oh how Rylee misses Guillianna and Liam misses Elijah. We all hope you’ll come visit soon, and I told them whenever you did come we would have a play date for sure.

They wanted to go and eat crab legs for lunch and then we went shopping. I think they had a fun last day of summer – at least I hope so I know it was so nice for me to spend some t me with them.

We know school there started a bit ago but it also gets out before school here does. Wondering how your days are going. And hoping they are full of laughter and smiles.

You are in our hearts on our minds and forever we are holding your hands sending hugs and smiles today and always.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Love always and forever

Dear Guillianna and Eli –

We always are hoping you’ve had a great day and that you did something fun.

Do you remember how we would have breakfast with Poppy? There was Gymnastics and just enjoy time together And for a while we would have cheer too. Busy busy right ? ?. I hear today was the day that all the Notre Dame kids went to find out who they have for new teachers and when I learn I can’t write and tell you. There was some discussion that Ms Stuk would teach 1st grade this year and Mrs.Kriesel would do kindergarten since Liam K was to be a first grader. But I am not sure if that happened.

I am going to help Ms.Campbell out tomorrow and will see Rylee Liam and Haleigh. Poppy and I hope you will remember some of these fun times I sent photos of. We hope you have a great day and remember WE LOVE YOU TI THE MOON AND BACK

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

love ❤️ always and forever

TODAY IS AUGUST 18, 2018 AT 8 IN THE EVENING

Hello Guge and Eli,

Todays date is 8/18/18 at nearly 8:18pm,    That is a lot of 18’s.

We love you two very much, and hope you are having a great weekend.   Today I was in Poppy’s office and saw all the photos from the photo booth at Safari Cafe, also known as Rainforest Cafe….

So many smiles… you two and Poppy were so so so silly.   I know we smile when we think of you both and hope you two know how amazing you are.   Hopefully you will have lot’s of fun times with more photo booth sillies in your future.

In a few weeks little Cole turns 1 already.   Aunt Allyssa and Uncle Dwan are making his birthday party and I know you are all welcome to join.  It’s likey so far for your mom and dad, or they have made other plans but I will put some pictures up afterwards.  Gray and Elena also are so big.   The other day Elena was telling me how she has to change her clothes a lot of times in a day, she said, “Nana I am four now” so I guess that means lots of clothing changes.   So cute and funny.    I think she likes clothes like you guys used to like running shoes (Eli)  and dresses (Guge).

Gray just came back from going up to Higgins Lake with his Nema and Papa for two weeks.   He had so much fun.

Cole is not walking quite yet but it will be soon.

I hope you’ll have a heart full of love seeing them, the way we love seeing your pics.

It is hard when you cannot be close by those you miss, we know, but hopefully this will help you know how much your loved and how we all wait for the time when we can see you again.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Love always and forever,

Nana and Poppy
