Hello Sweetie!

Why hello there sweetie! I actually got to talk to you a bit today. You were telling me about your new outfit you created after raiding your mom's bras. It seems you were getting ready for a work out since you went for a sports bra. You are quite the designer coming up with outfits more outrageous than ones created on all of the designer reality shows that are on television. It seems that you are quite into jewelry too so if you need the hook-up you just let me know! You are constantly impressing everyone with your intelligence and your literature, and although it is still a little difficult to understand you, you know exactly what you are talking about!! You let us know!! You are growing up so fast and have become quite the little lady! I can't wait to hear from you! Miss you!
Love,
Aunt Jill

update on your estranged family

Since their last posts:

Erin and Dustin got married and you were her flower girl. They graduated from college and got a full-time jobs. Erin takes a job at a bank and Dustin starts coaching at OSU. Erin resigns from her first job and finds another.

Dad and Geri bought a new house. Dad contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. He recovered.

Jill and Noah decided to put the beloved Wishkah to rest so no more chatting with him at the computer.

They all still love you.

Feet diptych
Originally uploaded by lovedc

You decided while we were out on a photo walk the other day that we should take pictures of our feet. It was so adorable I had to make a diptych out of it to show off your creativity.

We should make this a tradition, because you know how much I like those.

Thanks Squirt.

Oh, and we may have to look into some tumbling for you. Since the Olympics started you've become very interested in Gymnastics and keep saying that you want to be able to do that (referring to Shawn Johnson and her crazy tricks).

look at my new dress

You and dad were grilling some chicken and eggplant at Sophia's house yesterday when you rushed in the door to show me your new dress Sophia made you. When I looked up from the dishes I was washing, I laughed for about 5 minutes. Of course, you kept smiling and asking me what I was laughing at and I could hardly come up with an answer. You gladly posed for me. Hilarious! You wanted to wear it to the baseball game with mom and Sophia that night, and normally mom and dad let you wear whatever you choose, but that may be one dress that stays worn only in the house.

You had a great time at the baseball game and were surprised that Ben didn't tag along and it was only you and mom. You had a lemonade and french fries. You enjoyed the "President's Race" and really wanted a W shirt to take home with you to match mom's W hat. You took home a pink shirt that said Washington Nationals Princess on it and were very content.

happy 3rd birthday

Happy 3rd Birthday Squirt!

Love you.
