sometimes they had sister and brother "fights" ... but they always love each other!

and i love them . . . and you!

first morning in ontario!

dear kate,

this morning when i opened my eyes, i was so happy!

do you know why?

because you were here! and you were waking up at nammy's house this morning!

and guess what you had for breakfast?

no . . . not oatmeal!

you had fruit loops!!!

when your mommy was a little girl like you, i never bought fruit loops!

i always made her oatmeal!

and, of course, we will have lots of healthy breakfasts and food here . . .

but you are my little granddaughter - and that makes it special!

so . . . sometimes we can have junk food!

and when you come to nammy's house, you can have fruit loops!!!

yeah!!!!

love,

nammy xox

today is the day you arrive for your summer holidays at nammy's!!

yipee!!!

i can't wait to see you at 2 o'clock this afternoon when your airplane lands in ontario!!

today we will get settled in, unpack your suitcases . . . and see everyone.

and . . . i know you'll be playing with all the "new" toys i have here!

nammy has all kinds of presents to give you too!

when bedtime comes, nammy will read you a special bedtime story

and you can wear your new jammies

and then go to sleep in your own room all decorated for you!

hmmmmm . . . what will we do tomorrow?
