Dust bunnies… ‘hare’ balls, WOW..

Lisa May 5, 2009 0Comments

Hey Mom and Dad…

I hear that there are dust storms in the part of the world you are but I thought you may like to hear about my ‘dust’ story.   I am just writing to say,  I am about to let you in on a little secret…Camp Nana has more than it’s fair share of dust bunnies.  Which makes me wonder, doesn’t a princess get to have people at their castle who take care of  the dust bunnies?  Hmmmm…  I will have to talk with Nana, maybe she is slacking a bit….don’t worry she will do anything for a smile from me… ‘not that I have her “wrapped” or anything…. but you know how the saying goes… and I say if the little finger fits…eh hem…. then it may be – that I have her right where I want her…   So about this hair thing…. Mr. Griff you know Mr. 200 pounder… well, I fear he has fallen below two hundred….

I kid you not, every day Mr. Griff is leaving behind like a pound of hair … it looks like it snowed in this place…certainly the other pets are leaving their fair share but Mr. Griff is taking –  as they say – not only the cake, but the whole darn bakery!  Hands down he is a winner in the shedding department.  (makes a person want to come live here at camp doesn’t it)

If you try to pet him, your hand is covered in hair.  Looks like you have a cashmere mitten on… ‘Tis the season for shedding St. Bernards appearantly… so Miss Arri is a Swiffering machine… no sooner do they get up several bags full, there is more!  GROSS  huh?  

So today we went to the post office, and then back home.  No big shakes here… Nana has discovered that I laugh at her when she is being silly, so she spent a great deal of her day doing silly things to make me smile.  Probably good that she doesn’t have a webcam, her silliness all over the internet would be scary to the rest of the family…. for me… it’s entertaining.  

All in all, the summary for the day… I was adorable, I was good, no change that to I was perfect, I love you both very much.  Pretty much the same as every other day.   I did get some new rattles, and some new teething key rings, I am just a two fister when it comes to holding them, love gnawing on them, and love talking.   I squeal when I am really excited.   It is the loudest thing… it scares me sometimes when I do it… but then I just laugh… I will go back next month for a check up in the weight department, and for a cardiology update…. but really I am just doing great.  I am getting bigger because I have out grown so many outfits. 

Just so you know,  I don’t drive yet, and the overprotective one, well obviously according to the rest of the Aunt’s living here, you need not worry about me having too many ‘liberties’ she runs a tight ship… but all in all it is pretty much a party everyday, no real complaints… since I am officially too young for the chores, and the DOG HAIR  and other doggie ‘present’, CLEAN UP PATROL, (thank goodness)…. I am skating around any of that kind of activity and just ‘livin large’ as they say.  Minor exceptions…the constant NANA SONGS… WHICH ARE ABOUT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING…and.. sharing my photo ops … but otherwise…. Life is good!   As always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Adorable in any color, but especially fond of

P I N K…

Guillianna!

HAPPY 5TH PRINCESS-VERSARY!

Dear Mom and Dad,

It is May 4th, 2009 and I am five months old.  I AM, and it feels good.   Today, I took a lot of photos for your princess-versary present, since we could not mail you anything.   Nana says she can’t wait for an address, and her friends at the post office, well they too want us to get one soon so we can send care packages… AND I CAN GO WITH HER TO VISIT all her friends at the US post office.    Uncle Nick is coming home in less time than it takes for things to arrive to him so we have curtailed our POSTAL SERVICE visits… so sad… I love them, they always make a big deal when I come in… but then again everyone always is making a fuss over me…

Today, Nana was missing Poppy so much, that she loaded up my stuff, and off we went to see him at work.   When she was young, and full of energy she used to bring him care packages at his work, little picnics or a treat of some sort, today she got all sentimental tried to be “young” again.   I say… leave that stuff to the young people Nana… your too old to be thinking like a 27 year old now…  Not that I am pushing you towards a cane, walker or anything, but geez… you’ve been married nearly two DECADES already… but no… Nana still misses Poppy when every they are apart…  I say… G R O S S …  

 The good news however is that even if Nana acts like a love sick goof… I got to go out in the world and was adored by Papa Alan, Uncle Dave, all the staff at their office, and patients too!    AWESOME HUH…. (sorry GG-ma, you got the suprise visit last week, and now Papa got one) Something about being fair I guess…  so we brought some bagels to everyone because Nana says, she thinks that Poppy is so lucky to have so many wonderful faces working there, for so long, and she remembers working, and how much she loved it when people noticed the hard work.  Well Poppy does notice, and tells her all the time – so she picked up some bagels, some cream cheese and WELL THE BEST PART, me to visit of coarse, and then we came back to CAMP NANA!  So I was looking pretty spiffy…and had a blast visiting today…. Nana, well she had a blast seeing Poppy… “GROSS, MUSHY GROSS”….  but, I will focus on the baby adoration, and she can focus on her McDreamy.   I hope you are doing okay… and maybe you can come back sooner than later.  It’s a Princess-versary, we can all close our eyes and WISH… right?   Nana says anything is possible.

The last time I sat in this chair, I was sooooo small and I could barely sit… now, I am lovin the whole ‘sitting up’ thing… and holding up my head, even though my cheeks are quite heavy… I do a darn good job… but, I am not so keen on sharing the spotlight with GuGu Bunny, but … whatever I did, … here is one last shot of me in my 5 month old princess-versary hat and some really beautiful eyes, I am going to close them and make my princess-versary wish!  I hope it tides you over till my next picture which will be… hmmmmm, let me see, TOMORROW!   By the way, I ate good today, I rode in the car awesome, and took a massively fun bath tonight, camp is good… hope you are both well, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.  Love always, Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Saftey First at Camp Nana – ya think?

Dear Mom and Dad,

Not to complain about camp or anything, but did someone forget to mention some overprotective tendancies of the camp director…hmmm. I am just saying… that Nana puts enough pillows around me for my photo shoot that … well  again…let’s just say, do we remember the snowbundle she used to wrap me in that could have had me in a walking or standing position at 1 month old… well, the pillows are towering so that they have me sitting….. and they are keep me sitting… no real chance of tumbling over… because just incase there isn’t enough cushion surronding my little butt, there are a pair of hands at every inch of the circle that surrounds me …  there is a radius of hands around me at any given moment! 

Silly Nana!

We went shopping this morning. Poppy, Nana and I, and let all the Aunts have a sleep in day.  We stopped at the store for much needed things at Poppy’s work, and then we went back to Camp… all my Aunts were up and waiting for me to come home.  Since then I have been fed, played with, strolled, held, and rocked.  It has truly been a nice day… I am going to rest because tomorrow, I have a princess-versary.   I will be five months old tomorrow!  I can hardly believe it.   5 PRINCESS MONTHS, and look at me… I don’t really look a day over 4 months… Usually I give mommy her princess-versary present, but since she is not at A SPECIFIC ADDRESS yet where she can get mail, I will take a special princess-versary photo for her tomorrow.  Until then, I hope you remember, I am your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

still… extremely Glam and  with cheeks that are simply irrisistable!

Guillianna!

GAP – and in Blue!

Dear Mom and Dad,

How are you doing?   I hope you have been able to see my love letters, and that they are making you smile.   Today is Saturday, May 2nd, and am not wearing PINK.   It is rare that I don’t have something pink on… and today was that day…

GAP  –   you know what that means… GREAT AUNT PAM!    She came to see me today, and hardly recognized me in blue!   

She took all of my Aunts to the mall today…and Nana and I just hung out at home, since Nana’s hip is sore.   I personally think it was an excuse and that Nana just wanted to play with me… she is like that…. always getting her kisses in, and watching baby Einstein and stuff.    I had a great day, took one great nap… which is odd for me, I am not usually a big napper… but today I was, hee hee, wonder if that means, up and party in my crib tonight?   Here are some photos of me today… and  I am looking as good in blue as I do in pink… what do you think?

Sometimes I just laugh out loud and crack myself right up…

Here I am enjoying the setting sun here in Michigan and another day at it’s end here at Camp Nana…

Aunt Alyx has been doing her reading in Parent magazine, about all kinds of things babies like, and I reap the rewards because she pays so much attention to me.

Aunt Mikayla, Aunt Allyssa and Aunt Arrianna are all seeing what things make a VERY SOON TO BE FIVE MONTH OLD LAUGH… they are good Aunts.   Aunt Pam, too even with having one of thier cars in for repair, she still found a way to get out to me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The sun is setting in the background, and there are flowers blooming but the most wonderful thing about this photo…. yep you got it, ME! 

Nana sent photos of the seasons to Uncle Nick while he has been gone this past year… and now she is sending them to you …. after spring /summer passes we will send you some of fall and then it will be winter again, and you will get some R&R, counting seasons, seems to be better than counting days… there are less of them… and they come and go quickly here in the MITTEN STATE.

I am using my leg muscles in the next shot and showing you how strong I am.  What do you think guys… could I pass you both up in PT…?

I am allowed to stand up here cause Poppy has me…

and what I am really thinking is…

Darn… I am too cute…

Blue, purple white … I have it all goin’ on…

Don’t I?

Tomorrow is as you well know by now…

ALL HANDS ON GUILLIANNA  SUNDAY!

Clearly a favorite day of the week for me…  and I plan on making the most of it…. Until tomorrow please know that I love you both, that I am today as always your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

P.S.   (a little note added late this day…. YES… it was party in my crib… 2am, 3am, 4am) 

 Thinking maybe…. that was one big nap… because let me just say… I WAS NOT TIRED TONIGHT… NANA and I had a party… all night!   Who says, Nana is too old to have fun…. LOL…. she may look a little weary for my all hands on Guillianna Sunday… but we had fun…
