Does Nikon need a SUPERMODEL?

Lisa July 14, 2009 2Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

So I was sitting back and thinking… maybe, you should get a cup of coffee, and sit back like me, ’cause this here, is a long love letter…I have been thinking that  I can be a supermodel for Nikon… today’s photo shoot… OUTSTANDING, I was hamming it up for you, and well let’s just say, every time the beast is out, I now know exactly what to do… POSE.   Nana has to distract me with something else or I just stare at the camera.. and pose… like a princess… here I am today… tell me… I love to hear it… you think I am cute don’t you?

Nana is so indecisive… she can’t pick just one photo and put it up, NO she has a BILLION.  

She says, Mom and Dad want to see me from every angle…

I say…She just can’t make up her mind… or what there is of it…sorry Nana…but it’s true.

So, here are a few of my ‘faces’.   Nana says, I am all personality… tell me do you see PERSONALITY?

Here is my ….”whatever, tell some body who cares” face….

and this… is my IM YELLING AT YOU face, I was playing with Mr. Penguin and he made me mad… so…I yelled at him… 

After I was done, I was mad!

This is my ….’ telling a story’ face…  everything I say is VERY IMPORTANT, and requires the use of BOTH HANDS!

My ” I am playing” face… you see I mastered a new skill.   I purposefully close the doors on my school bus, and push them back open again to see the little kitty and frog pop out to sing a song.   I am so smart!

My ‘I AM an angel’ face…

Let’s just face it… I HAVE LOTS OF FACES!

One for every emotion, and every event…

these pics, are not in sequence… however…to recap for you…I was so mad at that penguin earlier!

Then Uncle Nick came home… and when he walked into the room, my mood changed… two more hands to pamper my pampered butt!

Can anyone say ‘MOOD SWINGS’….Do you think I like attention?

Notice, Mr. Penquin who just got an ear full, and Uncle Nick on my other side…

Go figure…

Mom and Dad, I have been told that you had better prepare yourselves …NOW, for age 13 ‘ish’…. because if seven months is any indication of the impending ‘mood swing’ years… YOU ARE IN TROOOOUUUBBBLE!

(Why is Nana laughing?)

So… anyway on with my day… I read a book with Nana, about mommies… and watched the video of you and daddy, which by the way, we do EVERY DAY… please send me pictures of you… cause, even though I like the video… I have watched it everyday for, more than I can count!  And every time your faces come on, Nana says, “SAY HI MOMMY…. SAY HI DADDY”… new pics… Pleeeeeese… here is my pleeeeeese face…

Yep, I want to eat the lens cap…(Nikon model, huh?)

Nana takes it back all the time…

I am beginning to call her NO FUN NANA!

Here I am trying my

Pleeeeese… Nana, let me eat it face…

and here I am after reading my Mommy’s are for Counting Stars- book.  I have a Mommy book and a Daddy’s are for Catching Fireflies-book,which are read to me equally… to be sure!  However, she also has two more, one is GRANDMA’S ARE FOR GIVING TICKLES…and Grandpa’s are for Finding Worms-  Poppy is so mad… he hates worms, and doesn’t think it is fair that Nana gets the Tickle Book… He get worms she gets tickles… go figure… well I love the books, they have so many pictures… and things hidden behind the pictures…

 it entertains me quite well.   When we are done with a story I do what any good princess does…

Hey mom do you remember when you were in Iraq the first time and Nana emailed you that you had a new brother…and it was really A BABY MR GRIFF,  well, my Uncle Griff and I are best buds, and he looks out for me at camp…. Yes, is so good to me… and stays around where ever Nana and I are…. stuck like glue… OR MAYBE IT’S JUST ‘GRIFFY SLOBBER’   (eewwww gross!)

I have one request before I leave you for the night, but now you have seen a typical day at CAMP NANA.   Nana wonders what she will do when you come home, she will be out of a job….. awe, sad…. but back to my request… um, how old do you have to be to get an iPhone?

I love the iPhone….

Look at my iPhone face…

okay, so I am looking at the back of it…

who cares…

it’s still one of my favorites… and I WANT ONE…

Here is my I want one face….

I mean look mom and dad, it does so much stuff….and it has qualities I bet most don’t know yet…

Here is the latest feature…

Yes… eating the iPhone… high tech cuisine… Guillianna style…

So now you see what a day in the life of ‘Gugu at Camp’ is like… bet you wish you could be me, huh, but let me tell you, it was just Nana and I today, everyone else had to work.   So here I am, being all independent and stuff… no one to hold me up for any of my shoot… I am “tuckered” out, and Nana, well lets just say she is… ‘pooped’.  (gross)  Your job has you in a war zone, I know, but I am exhausted… campers here work hard too… especially me… as you can see by just A FEW OF THE PHOTOS NANA TOOK TODAY ALONE!    I will leave you with one last photo from No Fun Nana, here she gave me a snack, only to take it away when it got soggy…. no fun! Until tomorrow, please remember I love you very much, and as always… I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna

What is new?

Dear Mom and Dad…

It is Monday night here at Camp Nana, and Monday’s are always late nights here at camp.  Not much is new though…  Poppy works late on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday… so Nana thinks she has extra “play with Gugu” time, but before you know it… time is up… and another day has gone by.    Mom will be happy to know, I wouldn’t let Nana miss a feeding for me, but the rest of the campers, well sometimes she doesn’t feed them till 9 or 10 at night!   She is not a good multi- tasker… but in all fairness I guess dinner for 7 every night can be a bit of a challenge… making things everyone likes, or just plain coming up with new ideas… but I have volunteered  to make it easy…I SAY JUST GIVE EVERYONE ONE JAR OF MY SUPER DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS BABY FOOD… pureed chicken, or beef, YUMMO!   Not… I don’t even like that stuff… I am however a huge fan of the cereals and fruits!   So the news bulletin of the day… my photo’s from today… ADORABLE.  

This chair is one hundred years old.   My great great grandmother used to sit on it while bathing my great grandfather as a baby in a wash tub.

I am pretty intense when I want something, or I am exploring…

I am looking pretty cute here aren’t I….

Little Princess…

I am sitting in a little bucket, with one of those immitation  sheepskin blankets… oooohh so soft…

How comfy, and how cute!

Do you see my halo…

I was an angel today…

Well, I hope your day was super fantastic, and I really just wanted you to know you are both loved, and missed.   Until tomorrow, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

A visit to DETROIT and Comerica Park!

Lisa July 12, 2009 4Comments

Dear Mom and Dad…

Today my Mommy called, all the way from the land of sand, and we were in the car.   As we entered a parking structure in downtown Detroit mom’s call faded away, and we could not call her back, and she could not call us back… so sad.  We were going downtown for a special day.   Aunt Arrianna, who back on June 9th… (if you want you can check out my love letter from June 9th) graduated, was finally able to celebrate her accomplishment with her family.   For her graduation celebration we went to a Detroit Tiger baseball game.   It was so much fun, and I was absolutely wonderful.   Here is my day for you to see.  We all had a very nice visit at Comerica Park, and I got to meet the team mascot, Paws.  I was so good, and by the time we got back to camp, I wasn’t even tired.   I didn’t fall asleep in the car, and was so happy.   I think Aunt Arrianna had a nice graduation celebration.  Nana, was thinking about you and daddy, they had fighter jets fly over head prior to the start of the game, and during the Anthem, she wished so badly  it were you holding me, at the ball park, until it made her cry.   She thought about how Aunt Arrianna is starting college in the fall, and how proud she has been to be able to say she is a mom to all of her kids.   Nana knows this is very hard for you, and that you miss me, more every passing moment, but today, was a day where Nana was reminded about how TEMPORARY, things are… it used to be Aunt Arrianna who would not sleep, who kept Nana up with some sort of mischief… and and now she is grown.   In a few months, it will be me, keeping you and daddy busy… so busy that serving in the Army and a war… will seem like a walk in the park.   Nana is getting me ready… she says tell Momma, she is teaching me all kinds of things to keep you and daddy busy… (just kidding).   She is holding my hand until you get home!  What seems like forever, Nana says, will pass, and be but a moment… as has the time she had with all her daughters, and son.   It seems like a moment in time… and before she realized it… everyone grew up on her.   Counting the days until we see each other is hard… but in the big picture, this trip to the land of sand, is but a speck of time in our lives, and WE WILL get through it…   CLICK ON MY PICTURES!

Another weekend at Camp Nana has passed.   I had a spectacular day.   I hope you like all my pictures, and remember, I love you both very much.  Until I write tomorrow, please know I am your LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Sunshine… and love from Michigan!

Lisa July 11, 2009 1Comments

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am sending you sunshine and love from Michigan.  

I look like a ray of sunshine don’t I?

I am the most curious baby… Curious Gugu…

I am examining all kinds of things… seeing if I want to EAT THEM…

Well any of you who follow my daily photo shoots will know… I have a love hate thing going with the BLACK BEAST…. again, here I am feeling as though I should show the beast how I feel about THAT FLASH!

I really do like having my photo taken, but , the flash can get a bit bothersome…

I think that Nana, would not know what to do with herself if she weren’t snappin’ up photos of me…  but I like it!

Here I am wanting this little flower….

asking if I can have it with my cute ‘PLEASE?’ face….

and then,

my worried face….

Are you going to take it?

YES…. darn… it was just a prop, not a toy, darn!

So not fair….

So here I am saying hello…

I have not yet mastered the wave, but we work on it every day….

I am growing and learning all the time…

You will see it when I do wave, cause chances are NANA AND THE BEAST WILL CAPTURE IT… after all how could they miss… they are always there!

A L W A Y S . . . . . .

The story I am telling here… well it required TWO hands to get the job done!   This is me, looking to explore something new… I don’t sit still long, and keep soaking up all kinds of new things around me.

Do you think I will always love learning?

I think this being curious thing… keeps me from sleeping sometimes..I don’t want to miss stuff, and so I only cat nap… itty bitty ones… that way I keep up with all the stuff  going on here at Camp Nana!

I had a spectacular day at camp… I brought SUNSHINE  to everyone.. and hopefully now to you.   I will write you tomorrow, and let you know of my activities.   It’s a big day tomorrow… remember when I told you about Aunt Arri, graduating…. back on June 9th.  Well tomorrow we go to celebrate it with the family… I will be there representing you and daddy again, so I will be my adorable princess self…. Until tomorrow, I hope you know I love you, and miss you, and as always am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Good Night,

I love you Mom and Dad, and I am being very good at camp.

All the campers here.. say they love you too… and hope you are smiling after seeing my princess face!
