Dear Mom and Dad,
I am doing great… hope you are too… it’s been a very busy day at camp cleaning and such. We didnt’ go any place today, but I had fun with the campers and my new Giraffe and Baby Giraffe.
As always, your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,
Guillianna
Dear Mom and Dad…
Today is October 2nd, and on this date in history this man was born…
This is Gandhi, as you probably know,
Nana says he was born on this date in 1869. History tells us, he wanted to promote peace… and he died trying to do that….Some things change so fast, like me growing, or learning new things, but other things seem to never change, or take forever to change. I wish that there were peace on this planet everywhere. Call me silly, or tell Nana, she is a dreamer.. but the sooner there is peace the sooner, my mom and dad come home to me. Lifetimes seem to come and go, and the change is not always fast enough nor does it seem enough, but we keep trying… all of us are in this together, and we all need to keep on trying….
Nana put up this photo, of this face because, she has done her history homework….and she says, if this face could not bring us peace – she thinks she may just have a solution, … BELOW IT, OR ABOVE IT…she says, the pictures above his and below represent the face of peace, the face of happiness, and the face of our future…. if everyone on the planet could just see the faces of all the little children… and know…. they are why we need all mommy’s and daddy’s home… with their children… living in peace.
You know I just wanted to tell you both I love you very much, and as I approach my tenth princess-versary, in just a few days, I realize that in just about eight weeks, I will be done with princess-versaries, and will have my VERY FIRST BIRTHDAY! From there on, we will celebrate every year my birthday celebration on December 4th! In just about 8 weeks (hopefully) we will get a to have our special ‘visit’.
I cannot wait!
In these past few months – much has changed for me as you can see. When I came to camp I was an infant sleeping quite a bit, and now, I am a baby who SLEEPS NOT! I am a sponge who absorbs EVERY THING AND WANTS TO MISS NOTHING! I have three teeth. Two on the bottom and one that has just come thru on top. (with more to follow quickly it seems) I am eating all kinds of great foods… and loving every second of trying new things. Tonight we met Great Papa and GG-ma and guess what, I tried an itty bitty bit of Hagen Daz ice cream.. and CAN I JUST SAY – LUV IT!
Today we stayed at camp until our meeting at the mall to see the Great Grandparents… Nana had to get Aunt Arri some back to school stuff and we grabbed food at the food court… but for me it was a first time trip to that mall and there was plenty of EYE CANDY EVERYWHERE. We only went into one store, but it was full of decorations for the holiday’s and I was all a flutter with excitement over the lights, and sparkles everywhere. Nana took some photos to day to show you my princess personality. So enjoy the many faces of GUILLIANNA Princess of Personality!
THE FACE OF HUMANITY, PEACE, FREEDOM
THE FACE OF FREEDOM TO CHOOSE!
THE FACE OF HAPPINESS – OR THE PURSUIT THERE OF!
THE FACE OF HUMAN COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING, AND TOLERANCE
THE FACE OF LEARNING, OF LIVING LIFE, AND OF OPPORTUNITY
I am the face of all that is pure, all that is innocent, and all that is good. I represent the face of freedom, of tolerence, of hope and of promise. I am every son, I am every daughter, and a reminder that life holds for us children, opportunity beyond measure. I am a very lucky child. Nana and Poppy have six children, and all six of their kids, as well as myself…have all of these same ‘faces’. It matters not what religion you are, what culture you are from, it matters not where you are from…. being good to people, being a good person…. and giving of yourself, to improve the quality of the life of another… each of us in our own way, can make this world just a bit nicer. Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, I am as always, your Little Miss Adorable , your daughter who is praying for peace and your safe return, just one of many children… who have a mom or dad there in the land of sand or elsewhere. I am, your sweet little LMA,
THE FACE OF PURE AND INNOCENT LOVE!
Guillianna!
Dear Mom and Dad…
So things today went a bit better, as far as making appointments on time. Justice, Liberty, Layla and Grizzabella had veterinarian appointments today… and it took two cars to get us there… but we were on time and all is well with the pets. Mr. Griffin, Kozette and Mr. Bauer go next time… at the end of October, or early November! All the campers except Uncle Nick had work or school, he drafted his friend Miss Kristin to help us and it was a good plan, because otherwise… Nana and Uncle Nick would probably still be trying to finish the task.
So I promised you a look at some new shoes… and I actually have two pair that Mommy and you will love… my glitzy tennies…
and some pink Converse! So cute…
I had a great day today, my teething is about the same, but I have been getting some Infant Tylenol and it helps…
I am meeting Great Grandma and Great Papa tomorrow for dinner.
Also.. something big happens around these parts..
YES IT IS THE START OF RED WING SEASON…. The return of the human SPIRIT STICK!
First game – being played in Sweden… but all the wing nuts here are pretty excited…
AND IT SHOWS!
Here are a few more of your litle princess…
I was posing for the beast, and playing at the same time… so I am a bit distracted…. like here…
I am getting closer and closer to “walking” it seems, I love standing up and try to pull myself up all the time…
Today, when I was at the veterinarian, I was not really fond of anyone I didn’t recognize, as a matter of fact… when people were saying hello… I started to cry… A LOT. I hear that it is very normal to be weary of strangers these days, so I cry sometimes when I am not certain. It is just a phase… and I hope when you come to visit it will be in the past… but just in case, NANA IS SHOWING ME THAT DVD a bunch. We need more pictures of you and daddy if you can send some. If not, the DVD will have to do.
Hope you are both doing well! In a few days, I will be ten months old. Can you believe it. I am hoping for my ten month princess-versary I can get these top teeth through the gums… cause I really am not a happy princess right now… I think they will be here very soon though…
Until tomorrow Mom and Dad, please know I love you, and I am always YOUR LITTLE MISS ADOARABLE, YOUR DAUGHTER,
Guillianna!
Want to play PEEK – A- GUGE! May as well, we didn’t get to SWIM!
Dear Mom and Dad,
How do you like the title of my love letter to you… YEA, WELL THAT IS WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, EXCEPT, well let’s just say… NANA DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE ‘20,000’PLUS OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS RIDING ON THE PARTIALLY CLOSED HIGHWAY TO GOLDFISH MINI CLASS, nor did she account for the what seemed like tens of thousandswho decided like she did to take the an alternate route… on a non highway.. where in fact they sat in bumper to bumper traffic until approximately 6:30 pm… THE EXACT TIME GOLDFISH MINI CLASS ENDS!
So to all my little goldfish mini friends… next week I will most likely be there at about 4:0opm for my 6:00 class, just to ensure we don’t miss it. Nana had taken me to the pediatrician today… (UNEXPECTED TRIP just to see if my lack of SLEEP WAS DUE TO A RECURRING EAR INFECTION, which IT WAS NOT!) Note to self…REMIND NANA THAT THE pediatrician is LESS THAN a mile if that from GOLDFISH MINI, BUT WHAT DID NANA DO… we went to the pediatrician at 2:ooish to have him inform us that I AM GETTING TEETH (no kidding) and that is all it is… so we were done, and had to drive all the way home, to pick up Uncle Nick, and go back to mini class which is not unti 6:00… or that’s what I thought was happening.
Not only did Great Aunt Pam drive all the way from her home AND Great Papa and GG-ma from theirs – to see me swim, but GREAT GREAT (which means she is REALLY “great/awesome) Aunt Ida and 3rd cousin Nanc drove REALLY FAR to see me swim too. They were all there.. ON TIME. Fancy that… ? Nana got me dressed at home, with my little swimmers diaper this time and my two piece big girl bathing suit, a robe and some duck slippers… thinking I would be ready to go… GO WHERE NANA? Mini Class I thought? But NOOOOOOOOO….. Nana took me to DINNER… INSTEAD… IN MY DUCK ROBE, DUCK SLIPPERS AND BATHING SUIT… where ye, she did immediately take me and change me but geez… I felt so out of place… like A FISH OUT OF WATER …!
We retuned to camp and I posed for the beast, because, EVEN THOUGH I WAS HYPNOTIZED BY GREAT GREAT AUNT IDA TO SLEEP TONIGHT and actually did fall asleep at 8:00pm… I awakened by 8:30pm and as you can tell… was OH SO TIRED… NOT! (Don’t forget to read with the mouse over my photo… I will relay to you my thoughts in each photo…. about how EXHAUSTED I am…
Nasty rumor… something about letting me cry in my crib…. if I don’t stop wanting to stay up all night with the older campers…. STRIKE THAT IDEA… BESIDES, not to brag or anything…. but I think I have Nana a little too wrapped… for her to allow that to happen… she doesn’t like it when I cry, and I AM WELL AWARE OF THIS LITTLE TIDBIT AND FIND IT VERY USEFUL!
I got to thinking about a really important issue…
Are you guys serious? You really want me to ‘crawl’ or as I like to say in a political correct manner.. you want me to ‘horizontally manuveur’ on this stuff?
eh… hmmm… I think NO NOT TODAY… Hey Nana,what’s this stuff on the carpet? Don’t make me call GG-ma on you! Can’t we get one of the big campers to use that big powerful ‘boogie’ suck thing you call a vaccuum… WHAT EVER YOU DO DON’T GET OUT THAT BLUE THING YOU USE ON MY NOSE… I STILL AND ALWAYS WILL HATE THAT THING… as you may notice in a few of my photos, but I don’t care, I AM NOT DOING THE BOOGIE SUCK THING…
Well, I had a great day… I am totally miserable cutting all these teeth, but the pediatrician says… no ear trouble! He says, ‘just teething’, I say… it’s not fun, and I wish they would all come in already!
Until tomorrow, I am and always will be your Little Miss Adorable, your daughter, (looking a bit tired now, think I will go to sleep… and by the way, how do you like the sneak peak at my dimple, cute huh?)
Guillianna!
P.S…… Nana, we need to work on your timely-ness… you know you never let any of your kids be TARDY! I am JUST SAYIN’ Folks are going to start talking ….. don’t make me ask “where’s your head?” But you know me, I say.. if the shoe fits… ???? Speaking of shoes, I have a pair mommy will love… maybe I will show you guys tomorrow… Hugs and Kisses from the Mitten State to the Land of Sand! (and all the other places my friends follow me from)
P.S.S. Hey Daddy-O your Chargers are playing Great Grandmonster’s Steelers this week… and I think the Steelers are going to beat your Charger’s what do you think?
P.S.S.S—– Hey Papa Alan, incase you didn’t know…Nana appreciated dinner… she was soooooo tired… and it was nice to enjoy dinner. She and I loved our omlet!
