A New Computer?

Lisa February 1, 2010 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad:

Wow, is Nana old, and learning how much she hates “new” things.   Her old computer was Windows XP, and the people who Poppy’s computer is through, well they now have everything on Vista Business or some weird thing like that… and it means… CHANGE for Nana…. who really is not a CHANGE kinda person.   Especially when she is feeling tired and cranky…. Here I am working everything out on my (Aunt Allyssa’s) Nintendo DS …. hey am I allowed to have this little stylus thing… I DON’T THINK SO… which means, I love this thingy… anything I am not suppossed to have… I WANT!

But alas, she is grateful for a computer, and will learn it, but hopes you will be patient with her… since now… my love letters are taking even longer to get up… while she fumbles through teaching herself how to use new uploader and programs…. 

You see the thing is, the computer is really an extension of Poppy’s … it is linked to his office, and he is able to use it remotely or he would live at the office…  and Nana…. well she feels bad that she “blew the other one out of the water” so to speak, so all things considered, Nana is very glad to be able to use it, and should not complain… but SHE REEEEEEALLY IS NOT A FAN OF CHANGE… and guess what, she had just finished writing one book, and was working on my book, the one that has all my love letters in it… YEA, WELL RIGHT NOW UNLESS THE GEEK SQUAD CAN SAVE IT… and the tens of thousands of photos she had on it,  it is gone!   But have no fear, Nana says she will start again and finish it in time for you to come home…. at least she is going to try!   I tell her, chill Nana, I can’t even read yet, so you have some time…. but you know she just has it in her head to start over… and finish this new book that is ALL ABOUT THE GUGE!   With subject matter like “the Guge”, it is sure to be awesome, and I look forard to growing up and reading about my first year!

She really should go to “geek squad school”…  but she will work it all out…. and the love letters, so far get done… despite her lack of aptitude!    Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, please know that I am as always, your daughter,

Guillianna!

P.S.   By the way, the reason I am so hooked on “playing” with Aunt Arri’s computer, is that I LOVE SEEING MY FACE IN MY LOVE LETTERS TO YOU AND DADDY.   I love when a camper or Nana and Poppy scroll through and show me  “the baby”.    Today Nana was showing me photos of myself, and you would have cracked up if you could see my face when Nana got to the photo of me and the flower on my butt!   Yea, I looked a bit puzzled as if to say… HEY WHY DIDNT SOMEONE TELL ME I HAD SOMETHING STUCK TO MY BUTT!   I love you both… have a great day and night, I will let you know what Tuesday brings… and hopefully Nana will hone her computer skills a bit…. so long as it doesn’t interfere with my play time… she should do that while I sleep, problem is, I am not so into that either…   ttyl…. “The Guge”

Yep it is COLD in the Mitten State!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today is the last Sunday of January.   I had a great day even if it is CRAZY COLD HERE, AND MITTENS ARE REQUIRED.  Seems we had a crazy busy week, and everyone needed a little R&R.   I am rested and relaxed…. and READY TO GO….

I hope you had a nice day too… and that at the end of your day, you get to look at my smiling little face and know that I am doing good, I am growing, and learning so much… and as always, I am your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR SWEET BABY GIRL,

Guillianna!

The Itsy Bitsy Virus!

Dear Mom and Dad:

Wow that virus that ate Nana’s computer was nasty… she is still using Aunt Alyx’s to write my love letters, which is sad for you because…. she is not computer literate… she just pretends to be.   So here is the new version of the ITSY BITSY SPIDER,  it is now….. The itsy bitsy virus came and ate my Nana’s ‘puter’… I tried to use mine but the love letters would not  send, up came Aunt Alyx and  Aunt Arrianna… they saved the day so mom and dad could see my cute little face!

I had a day of fun.  I was if you can believe it…. ADORABLE.  I am also attempting to take steps… I am soooo close.  Nothing to video just yet… but who knows, maybe tomorrow.

I had an Egg McMuffin today, or at least parts of it.   I had pizza too!  Mostly the bread and cheese, but I am chewing up a storm.   I was also the proud recipient of a beautiful Valentine from my Mom and Dad.   Thank you… it made it to me safe, and I will have Nana read it regularly!

This is my MAD OR SERIOUS FACE, WHEN I GO UP STAIRS, TO AUNT ARRI’S ROOM, I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN I CANNOT PLAY WITH HER COMPUTER.   Doesn’t she know I have a computer, and I already know how to play with it… I know all the buttons to push, and I love slamming the lid closed….. I can show her how to do it…. but she won’t let me…. so I am mad!  But that lasts about a millisecond, and then I find something else to do ….   Tomorrow is Sunday, and maybe Nana will be a little more rested.  I will have her write you with the events of the day… and show off my baby blues for you some more…. Until then please know that I as always, am your Little Miss Adorable,  your daughter,  (this photo was taken yesterday, but Aunt Arrianna took it, and I was in the middle of something big here… she loves this photo, so Nana put it up today, just for her…. thanks for your help Aunt Arri.  It shows even more of my little personality!)

Guillianna!

The Dinner Equation. Plus a Few Minus a Few

Lisa January 29, 2010 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,
Today was another stay at camp day due to some pretty cold temps,  but Nana wrapped me up in my layers of sheepskin to keep me warm and did go out briefly, we met Great Papa for Friday dinner. I even ‘high fived’ him but want GG-ma to know we had a seat for her!   Being out for dinner without GG is just not right!  Uncle David and Aunt Kris were there with Bryan- but I have to say it’s just weird with out “A GG” at the table.

I ate well despite the fact that no one scrambles eggs like GgMa  – we all missed her and Uncle Nick, Miss K and cuz Steven who were all also missing due to prior engagements.

I am so close to walking.  I can do it if I just barely hold onto someones hands. I have a feeling February is WALKING month for the Guge!   We will see.   Maybe it will be my Valentine surprise for everyone. Who knows.   Actually,  I think that I am going to be …  a lot of folks “LITTLE MISS VALENTINE”.   All the campers for sure have me down… I expect I will wake up February 14th with a Valentine or two at the breakfast table.   Nana says she used to leave each of the campers Valentines in the morning before they went to school… so I am hopeful, I will have one or two to say the least.   Why not… I’m cute and love giving hugs. I wave to everyone. I smile and the entire room gets happy. I BET I WILL MAKE A darn good Valentine won’t I?    

c

I only have a few holidays left here at Camp Nana. Valentines day,  St. Patricks Day  – where I get to say ” I am a McCutie?” And Easter most likely – but after that my holiday’s are pretty booked up at Fort Hood, (or Fort ?) with you and dad. I am hoping to have our first Mothers Day together and Fathers Day after that!  Very exciting stuff!

Well for now I will focus on being some one’s Valentine.   Do I have any takers? Send me a computer Valentine and Nana will save it up for me.   Well by setting little dates between now and spring, we will get there faster… next stop FEB 14TH…. hoping time flies quickly to there… and next thing you know… it’ll be MARCH!  

So here are more shots of ME, since you want to see this cute face… and wonder HOW AM I DOING… WELL DOES THIS HELP?   I am fantabulous…. and I am not sure…. Nana, Poppy and the campers, are able to tell you how much fun I am having.   I am making the best of this situation… and soaking up love and kisses, saving them for you and dad!

HEY…. you are looking at my butt!

I am so cute, it is hard to resist smiling no matter what angle the beast captures me…

I am playing and learning every second. 

I also love giving hugs, and waving…. at dinner tonight I made so many friends, ever person that walked by, I waved to… I smiled at and really I was a very good girl, I ate well, and loved being with everyone.

You would be so proud of me mom and dad, I am not only cute, I am just as sweet and adorable in my personality.   I am lucky that my campers are showing me so much love cause I am soaking it up like a big sponge, and then when you come home, I plan on sharing all my hugs and kisses with you and daddy!   I will show you how much I have learned, and will be so excited to learn so many more things with you guys.   I also plan on giving you a run for your money… unless something drastic happens, I am not a sleeper….. I wake up ready to go… and go go go all day long….. with itty bitty naps here and there to recharge the Guge batteries!

I hope you and daddy are well  – and know that I love you both!  We are almost done with January and it flew by for me since I am so busy learning and playing! Let’s hope February does the same and is easy on you both. Hugs from the mitten state where I am bundled as if I were in Alaska!  As always, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!
