A picnic..at my Great Aunt and Great Uncle’s home!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today I went to a picnic at the home of my Great Aunt Kris and Great Uncle David.  There were so many relatives there who say hello to both you and to daddy.  They wanted you to know we all were thinking about you. 

Some of mommy’s relatives got to meet me for the very first time.   Cuz Micheal, AnneMarie, and her daughters were there.   Great Great Aunt Shirley and Great Aunt Ida, hadn’t seen me since April.   So that was way cool.

Cuz Nancy was there, and so was Great Aunt Kris’ mommy and daddy Ms. Syd, and Mr Larry. 

So we had a nice visit with them all, and then, I was ‘tuckered out’, ha ha so funny huh daddy, but I was and we came back to camp for a little R&R of our own. 

So here I am, looking adorable for my picnic photo op.

How was your Fourth of July?  Nana is still sad they won’t let Mommy see my photo shoot or read my letters and that if she is to go on line it is so hard for her to  do so.   I try to tell Nana, hey let me join the Army so I can go hang with them, but she is pretty strict and says..NO !   My own little drill sarg… here at camp keepin me on my toes… and making me follow all the rules.   ( ha…. did I say rules?   oh yea, thats it, camp Nana, rules number one… GUILLIANNA MAKES ALL THE RULES)

Me sharing the spotlight with my Aunt, who by the way says, HI, to both of you!   It was a very pretty day, and I love being outside as you know.

More of the day… hoping they make you smile, and see me happy and doing just fine… don’t worry about me, start your list of things to do with me when you are home.   I LIKE TO STAY BUSY AND EXPLORE!

I am definately a curious little girl, sometimes so curious  that I won’t even look at Mr. Nikon…

Nana say’s she doesn’t mind, she wants to you see me as often as possible,  and that this way you can see me from every single angle.

Just when I think she is done, she wips that thing out, and snap snap snap…

More photos, than you can ever imagine… and good news…

Only sang, Oh… say… a bazillion times today..

as opposed to the 3 and yes I said 3 bazillion times yesterday…

My Aunts and Uncle say… enjoy this, and appreciate that it is dwindling … as the holiday’s are only 6ish months away…. and something about there is a local radio station that begins holiday music in October sometime… they have forewarned me this MEL-O-DICIOUS SINGING FRENZY is just a downside to camp… a ‘hiccup’ or ‘an excess baggage’ if you will… well… I have my own hiccups, who needs Nana’s too?

Me… and more me….

Wondering, is there a record for most photos of a baby?   I may win this event!   I will still send you photos and love letters, and hope you can get a computer so you can see me ANYTIME you want to.

Sereiously, tell me, when you look at this face, how do you stop yourself from kissing the screen?   Until tomorrow, please remember, I love you both, and send big hugs and kisses to you in the land of sand.  As always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

FLAGS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS!

Dear Mom and Dad,

Today was awesome.   All of us at Camp Nana, plus some really awesome family and friends helped ME CELEBRATE MY FIRST FOURTH OF JULY!

Thank you to GG-ma, Great Papa, Uncle David, Aunt Kris, Steven, Bryan, Dr. Randy and Ms. Susie, and all of their family and friends.   Thank you to Mr. Bob, Mrs. Dee, Gappy Pam, and Great Uncle Brian, Cuz Brittany and Mrs. Pat.  All of you made my first Fourth of July and extra special day.  You helped me spread wishes for the safe return of everyone serving overseas, and here are some photos of us celebrating our special day… and certainly the black beast,aka,’MR NIKON’ and Nana captured some of me… being Little Miss Adorable the All American!   Thank you mom and dad, and enjoy  photos of my first FLAGGING day.  

We tried to line as many streets as possible with a little flag, and a heart full of patriotism for our country!   Nana says, with help from all the friends and family …. we were able to get out to so many communities and hopefully next year we will get flags to even more people.   Nana loves the flag!   But this you already knew….  Here is my day…. it was great…. CLICK ON MY PICTURE TO SEE THE ENTIRE THING… and enjoy!

I hope that all our friends and neighbors enjoyed getting a little present from the heart… and that you have lot’s more people who send well wishes and prayers for your SAFE AND SPEEDY return to me!   I love you mom and dad…. and as always I am YOUR LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Friday before the ‘FOURTH’..and ‘7th’!

Hello Mom and Dad,

Today is Friday, it is the day before my seventh Princess-versary.   It is also the day before the Fourth of July,  A HUGE DEAL IF YOU KNOW WHAT BEING AMERICAN MEANS TO MOMMY AND ALL OF my Aunts and Uncle….it is the day before we go out in our community flagging….or sharing our patriotism with our neighbors.

Nana is as Uncle Nick says…’ fan-Patroio-tastic’ about getting everything organized for the early morning delivery of flags to neighbors and friends.  He swears Nana was hit with a Patriotic stick when she was born.    This year Nana affixed one of my little designer pins, with the yellow ribbon to bring all the soldiers home safely, and my little pink hand print to bring both you and mommy home to me VERY SOON.

I sent both mommy and daddy one, and I hope you got them.   I will put a picture of it up here for you again in case you have not yet gotten yours in the mail.

We plan on getting an early start, and after we finish, and all the neighbors wake up the the stars and stripes we hope that they too will be wishing you home!   It really is a lot of  fun, and sometimes people come out and they say hello, or shake Poppy’s hand, and everyone we meet where ever we go, sees me, and then says ‘TELL YOUR MOM AND DAD THANK YOU FOR THEIR SERVICE‘.   So mom and dad, we are getting ready tonight for our flagging adventure, and every single person who gets a flag from our family will also get a little GUILLIANNA PIN, to remind us  –  to remind us of all the MOM’S AND DAD’S , sisters, brothers, children, aunties and uncles… all the men and all the women who are STILL there, and other places around the world. 

 Everyone is some body’s someone special, some one’s  child, some one’s loved one…. We, on our independence day, will all be saying “THANK YOU” to all the service men and women across the globe.    Wishing them safety and a quick return to their homes.   As always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

More of me….
