Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Lorelai,

I'm very sorry that ths weeks letter is late. I have been preparing for Thanksgiving since I got home from school. We made three pies earlier and you were a very big help! We took one of the pies, the chocolate, to Grandma Steph and Grandpa Dan. While Mommy was at school today you and Wela baked some cookies. The have snowmen on them. Now you are fast asleep and Mommy is hoping to also be, soon. Well, good night my precious baby. Mommy loves you!

Love,
Mommy

Sleepless nights and sleepy days!

Dear Lorelai,

Man, we really need to be on better schedules! Yesterday morning Mommy woke up at 7:30 to register for Spring term classes and you woke up shortly after. We played for a while, but at about 11:30 you decided it was nap time so we both took a nap before I had to go to class. We woke up from our nap at 1:30 and as a result, almost missed my bus. Mommy went to school and you stayed home with Wela. When Mommy got home from school we watched a little TV together before you decided it was time for bed at 8:45. I was so excited you went to bed early because I was tired. Even though I was so tired I didn't get to sleep until about 1:00 AM...and then you woke up! I tried and tried to get you back to sleep, but you just wouldn't fall asleep. Finally at about 3:00 Wela came and got you out of the room and took you with her so could go back to sleep. When Mommy woke up this morning you were already awake and Wela had just fallen asleep. Wela sad you didn't fall back asleep until around SIX IN THE MORNING! Now here it is almost midnight, you haven't had a nap today and it looks like your energy isn't going to run out anytime soon. Mommy is exhausted and can't wait for the semester to be over with so maybe I can rest for a little while before I overload myself with 5 classes next semester! Well, babydoll, I think that's all for tonight, I'm going to try to get to to sleep now.

Lots Of Love,
Mommy

Pa Chuck

Dear Lorelai,

Yesterday was a very sad day for our family. Yesterday marked 18 years since my daddy, your Pa Chuck, died. I miss him very much! The thing that hurts the most about not having my daddy here with me, is the fact that you will never get to meet him. I decided to dedicate this weeks letter to tell you a little about your Grandpa.



This is a picture of Pa Chuck in the hospital shortly before he passed away. Pa Chuck was an awesome daddy, and if given the chance he would have been the best grandpa ever. He took care of his family the best he could. I was only seven when he died so I don't remember much about him, but here are a few things I do remember:

*We used to watch Star Trek together every night.
*We used to eat bacon sandwiches almost ever night at midnight.
*He rode a big black Harley.
*He picked me up from Pre-K and took me to Burger King for Burger Buddies all the time.
*He had long, frizzy hair (just like Alyssa) that he kept pulled back in several rubber bands.
*He had a pink t-shirt he liked to wear.
*He had big dimples in his cheeks. (Just like Brother Bear.)
*He had brown eyes. (Just like you.)


I'm really sorry baby, but that's all I can remember right now. I'll try to remember more later and add to this list later.

I guess I better stop this letter here so I don't start to cry. It always upsets you when I cry. When I cry, you always look at me sad and ask "Wrong, mommy?" Anyway, I love you always baby!

Love,
Mommy
