Thanks, Hailey, for making my day!
Forever your gramma!

Rainy day to you two!

Hi, Hailey, Hello Trinity!

How are you? What have you guys been up to?

It is raining here today; that's something we really needed. So, gramma is doing the happy dance...Ask mommy what the happy dance looks like!

Triny, I hear you're crawling everywhere. How I wish I were there to see you crawl.

Hailey, mommy told me that your other gramma gave you a bunch of books. Which ones are you reading or is mommy reading to you?

I have some favorite books myself. I love the Frog and Toad books. I read them to Isaac and Caleb almost every day when they were your age.

Another favorite is Good Night Moon.

I know there are a lot more, but I can't remember them. Tell me your favorites.

Right now gramma is reading three books....

Are you helping mommy can peaches tomorrow, Hailey? Send me some for Christmas...

What would you like gramma to make you for Christmas? Another kind of apron? A dress? A skirt? Matching outift with Trinity? Tell me, please.

I'm sending you a picture of some fish. They're saying 'HELLO GIRLS!'

I love you.

Oh, Hailey, I loved how you did your makeup the other day...beautiful, girl...!

Forever your gramma.
