MITTEN FANS!

THE MITTEN GAME DAY JERSEY!

Dear Guillianna and Elijah:

Remember when we made this photo into a phone case for your parents as a present.   Its been a long time since you were this small, but it is still a favorite.  Do you remember when you two could choose to wear your favorite team shirt to school?    Everyone here in the mitten state usually has a favorite college team to root for.   Nana loves them both, and the two of you in these shirts, well who wouldn’t love the representation of BOTH of these two schools !

One day who knows, maybe you will still be fans, and want to attend one of them.   Where ever you should end up going to school, you can bet Nana and Poppy will wear those jerseys or love those schools too.   Oh wow, we will have to prepare to be getting jerseys to all the grand childrens favorites right?   Who knows by then Poppy may not need to wear a tie to work every day, and he can have a collection of school shirts to represent all the grand children!  That would be fun, right?

One thing is for sure, it will not matter what you grow up to do, no matter what career path you choose, no matter what direction your life journey leads you on, no matter what city you move to,  no matter what team jersey is your new favorite…  you will always have Nana and Poppy as your fans!

Hope you have a wonderful day, that you know you are being thought of, and well wishes are being sent your way.  All our love, forever and always, to the moon and back,

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

LABOR DAY –

Nana September 3, 2018 0Comments

Dear Guge and Eli,

So its Labor Day and Poppy had the day off work.    He did go into the office for a bit, but it is always nice when he doesnt have a full day right?   Hope you all did something fun and enjoyed the last days of summer.

Things to look forward to: Cooler temps, falling leaves, fall colors, pumpkins, trick or treating, apples and cider with doughnuts.   Football season was always a favorite of daddy’s and you will likely get to decide on Halloween costumes soon if you haven’t already.   No word yet from the other cousins what they will be but I will certainly pass it along when I do learn.

What is even more crazy is that Christmas is a little over 3 months away.   That is so crazy.   We are hopeful every day that today will be the day we see your little faces, and until then we look at the photos, and Poppy and I share stories of you with all your Aunts Uncles and cousins.   Aunk Kiki and Uncle Ricky went home today from their visit and likely wont be back until after the New Year.   Hope they will get to see you both.

I often wonder where the next duty station will be for you, and don’t ever worry.  It doesn’t matter where in the world you are sent from where you are now, there is always FaceTime just like when mom and dad were deployed and we can always travel anywhere.

Big day tomorrow, its back to school.   Hope you have a wonderful day and do your very best like always.   Hugs and Kisses from the Mitten.  Love you always and forever.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX,

❤️Nana and Poppy❤️?

Coles GOLDEN Birthday Party …

Nana September 2, 2018 0Comments

Today was Coles birthday party. Aunt Allyssa did a very nice job making his birthday special. He was not a big fan of cake –  I can remember baking a lot of cakes with you two.   Eli loved mixing ingredients and Guillianna frosting cakes…

It didn’t rain and it was a very nice party. You were definitely missed and we hope you will know that we think of you . We also are sure you will be spending Labor Day doing something amazing with mom and dad since it’s a holiday hat mom usually gets off and you tie certainly get off from school.

Weather here ended up being nice without rain ! Thank goodness since we were out side at the party.

Next week will be a shorter school week for you and that ha to be something to look forward to. Aunt KiKi and Poppy took some of these photos and we hope you will enjoy seeing your cousins.

We love you both to the moon and back , always and forever,

XOXOXOXOXOXO,     ❤️Nana and Poppy❤️?
