More Sweaters?

It is such a pleasure to see photos of you in your new blue sweater! You look so pretty. I found a booklet this past week with several more cute sweater patterns. I can't wait to start knitting another one for you, but first I need to know what color you would like this time!

Panda Purse

Dear Stella,

Today I was looking through my toy box, which is really the box I keep toys in for visiting children, and guess what I found?

Yes! A Panda Bear purse! How could I have ever known that you would have a hat to match? What was I thinking? Perhaps the mail person will be making a delivery to your house soon. I would hate for a girl to go without such a vital accessory.

Love and kisses,

Nana and Grandpapa

Memory Lane

Look at what I found! (You will need to ask your mom!)

Tomorrow!

We can't wait to see you tomorrow!

Laughing Girl

I enjoy all of your mom and dad's blog entries, and I love the little videos featuring you, but this last time there was an image I especially enjoyed. It was the one where you are laughing with dada! Those eyelashes! That smile! I could see bottom teeth! And, such a cute outfit. Hmm... I imagine you are thinking. But didn't I get that outfit from my Nana? Yes! In some funny sort of way, seeing you wear something I selected half-way across the country makes me feel a connection with you. I do love you!

Sunny Skies and Days Ahead

Happy New Year's Eve 2.0! Clearing skies ahead for your venture into 2010. (We know what that means - now that you are over your New Year illnesses, you can begin the year 2010 in earnest!) This picture was taken at sunset after a brief January rainstorm by Grandpapa. We hope to see you soon via the Web. And, we enjoyed your last blog entry. We especially enjoyed seeing pictures of Tirza and her daughter, since we have heard so much about them. They do look like fun!

I am so excited! (And thankful, too.)

I was busy missing you today and then the doorbell rang! Then I got so busy that I forgot to look to see what the postman left. Grandpapa came home and looked out the door and saw a box! It was for me! A box full of Christmas ornaments from you and your mom and dad. Thank you, thank you! I love them. I will have them on the tree for Thanksgiving when Uncle Tim and Aunt Jeanne visit and then... they will be there for your Christmas visit. Yay!!!!!!
