Hi baby girl!

It so made my day when your Mommy told me that someone besides Grandma called, and when she handed you the phone you had no interest. I love it that you know when it's Grandma and you want the phone to talk to and play with.

Grandpa and I had a great time with you and your parents. I can't wait for you to get moved so we can come see your new place. Sorry things didn't work out so we could help you move.

Grandma wrapped all the Christmas presents she has for your Mommy and Daddy today. Most of your presents are already there and your Mommy wrapped them..

I have a couple more things to pick up for you.

Mommy said you did really good in your costume for Halloween. Sorry Grandma didn't cut that ouchy part out before we put it on you. It's a little tough to design this stuff when you are 7 hours away...but Mommy said you looked really cute in it.. I wouldn't know cause your Mommy hasn't posted the pictures yet. and by the way,,ask her where the picture of you and Grandpa sleeping on the couch is..and grandma feeding you...I'M WAITING....

Grandma found the cover to your carseat at a garage sale. I got it washed today and dried so we will see if we can get grandpa to mail it when he goes into town this week. I'll stick the sling I made for your mommy in there too.

So that's about all for tonight. Love you oodles and bunches..

XXX OOO

Grandma

Granny Bargains!

Your mommy thinks she is such a hot shot clearance whore...Granny has her beat... I got a temporary car seat for $2.00 (not smart enough to put it in the car)

this for 50 cents

and this for a quarter,,,plus two outfits for a quarter each...

Then your Mommy wanted something for Xmas that was going to cost me 90 dollars and I got it for 25...so beat that...

See you in a week love Grandma

The Tea Pot!

Remember how I wanted a tea pot so you could have the memories of the special stuff at grandma's? Remember how I wanted one of the ones that had been in our famiy for years only to find out they had been given to your aunts? How I found the hippo cookie jar that now sits on the table for you to see every time you come to visit? Well, now I have found the tea pot.. and it is awesome. We have two little tea cups that we can have our tea out of..

I also found this old rocking horse. So let the memories begin.. Grandpa and I will be there in a few weeks to see you. Don't grow too much between now and then and have fun at Auntie T's tonight... I love you.. Grandma.

Sorry Ogre Child, it's your gene pool!

I'm sorry OC.. it's in

How did we get from this... to this...

Dear Ogre Child

I feel I owe you an explanation as to why I do what I do. So here goes.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there to bond with you more when you were born. It was sort of a difficult situation. Grandpa Cletus was so sick and I was so worried. He couldn't even get up to walk the dog. I was so worried about your Mom but I couldn't see her, because well she was busy having you.. I couldn't live at the hospital with you and your parents just for a chance to hold you. . I am very sorry for that. I also do not do well around people I do not know. I don't know whether to kick their ass and grab you from them or let them have their way. So, I backed off.

I do not want you to think you are not the most precious thing in the world to me, next to your MOM. I'm sorry honey, you will always have to take second to your Mom. Never, will you come to my home and be hugged and kissed, before your Mom is. It's not that I don't love you as much, it's just that she had my heart first.
--

The day you were born and the days following, I felt should be your family time with your Mom and Dad. I will have my time to spoil you rotten. I'm looking forward to it. It's only a few weeks away.

Your Mom built this years ago for her ducks. She designed it and even hand sewed all the little nooks and crannies with wire. It's now home to your 5 kittens..Like your Mom and Grandma's bond, it has withstood storms, time and hardship to remain a strong and loving home...for all who pass.
