 My Dear Lorelei,

Your family and Papa and I and uncle Shane‘s family spent Thanksgiving week in Punta Cana. We all had such a good time. It was so nice to spend time with you guys. I always feel like I don’t get to see you as much as I would like. And you are such a loving little girl. You just make my heart melt, because you don’t see me that much and you still are just so sweet. Towards the end of the vacation, I asked you what the best part was and you said being with Keira and Ellie ( another friend of daddy and his family were there). How sweet that you thought that was the best part. Makes me very happy.

I can’t wait to spend some time with you at Christmas, I love you

 My dear Lorelei, 

All the family had a family trip to Pittsburgh a couple weekends ago and it was so much fun. You had a blast with Bryce and Kiera. Then you and Chase and Hayden spend a week with me and papa, it is so nice to have you because i just don’t get to see you as much as I would like. 

Kiera had a little bra on and you wanted one too, so you and Kiera and I went shopping and we bought you a pack of sport bra. You were so excited. You came home and put one right on and then didn’t put your shirt on. Aunt staci had a sleepover for all the cousins and you had your bra on and you asked uncle Shane if he knew what it was. So funny!

You do love the outdoors and going In the creek. You love it more than your brothers. There is nothing better than being outdoors and I am so glad you enjoy it so much. 

You are so loving and give all of us hugs. I love you

You guys all came to the lake house the weekend before Fourth of July. It rained two days. We were pretty all disappointed, but you still got in the boat each day, we just went out between the raindrops.

Somehow, Aunt Sommer was talking to you guys, or you were talking to her, and she asked if you wanted to see her hair, because she lost it all from cancer. And you answered, I do, but we can go in private if you want to. So aunt Sommer showed you her tiny little hair growing and you told her it was pretty, but you said you do like her wig hair. She thought you were so sweet.

And you really are so sweet. You always give cuddles and are very loving. 

I love you and will always be your advocate

You are such a little love bug. And I am sorry I don’t get to see you as often as I would like. One morning, you just video recorded yourself saying I love you Grammy and send it to me on your daddy‘s phone. Made my whole day. We FaceTime quite often because you love to show me everything. You show me all the papers you bring home from school., All your artwork on your wall,  all your new stuffy‘s. 

We are going down next week to see you guys. I love you so much.

Xxoo
