Draft Day

Hi Granny! Yesterday we went to Uncle Ryan's house for the fantasy football draft. I'm not sure what that is - all I know is that everyone was sitting around the table with their computers talking about a bunch of guys who I have never heard of. My Dad put me in an Eli Manning jersey for the special day.

A little while later my Mom put me in a Bills outfit. Granny, this is really confusing. What team am I supposed to like? My Dad likes the Giants and my Mom likes the Bills. Maybe I can root for both teams?

I love you, Granny!

My Mom Owes Me

Hi Granny! Yesterday my Mom wasn't feeling well. So I decided to take TWO three hour naps and be happy and smiley all day. It was very nice of me. I don't want her getting used to this, though - I mean, who wants to sleep all day when they can be up having fun?

I love you, Granny!

A Trip to Nick

Hi Granny! This morning when I got up I played with Aunt Lynda and Sophie. It has been so much fun having them here.

Later on we went to see Uncle Ryan at Nick on Sunset. While my Mom and I sat in Uncle Ryan's office, Aunt Lynda and Sophie got to go on the set of iCarly. Apparently babies are not welcome on set - not cool. My Mom said that it is because the actors would be jealous of how cute I am.

As we were leaving, Uncle Ryan introduced Sophie to Miranda Cosgrove. I have no idea who she is, but by everyone's reactions, she is a pretty big deal.

I love you, Granny!

Aunt Lynda and Sophie Are Here!!

Hi Granny! Today was an awesome day. My Mom and Dad put me in the car and before I knew it we were at the airport. For a second I thought that we were going somewhere, but then I saw Aunt Lynda and Sophie and was SO happy!

Here is me with my Dad and Sophie. She is a whole lot of fun.

We all went out for dinner at Cheesecake Factory. I tried really hard to eat some bread, but I'm still not so sure how that whole eating thing works.

I love you, Granny!

A Very Special Day

Hi Granny! You may be wondering why I'm so happy.

Well, today is a very special day. Today my Uncle Jeff married my new Uncle Skip. I always considered Uncle Skip my uncle, but today it is official. Uncle Jeff and Uncle Skip have been together for a very long time, so it is about time they made it official. I want them to know that I love them very much and am so, so happy for them.

I love you, Granny!

I Want to Eat Corn

Hi Granny! Even though my Dad is gone, I woke up in a good mood.

The first thing I did was go to my office and check things out.

Later on we went to see Aunt Liz and Uncle Ryan again. I got dressed up pretty just for Uncle Ryan.

Aunt Liz, Uncle Ryan and my Mom ate hot dogs and corn. I wanted to eat some corn, but the adults wouldn't let me. I can't wait to eat real food.

I love you, Granny!

Fun with Uncle Ryan and Aunt Liz

Hi Granny! Since my Dad is out of town, my Mom and I decided to go to see Uncle Ryan and Aunt Liz yesterday. It was so good to see them. Uncle Ryan is so strong! He lifted me all the way up to the sky!

Aunt Liz is awesome. I spent a lot of time pulling her hair.

I love you, Granny!

Daddy's in Boston

Hi Granny! Can you believe that we just got home from Buffalo and my Dad had to leave for Boston today? He won't be back until after I go to bed on Tuesday. I'll make sure to wake up a couple of times Tuesday night so he can come see me.

Since my Dad is away, I had to find something to do with myself. I decided to play with my sock.

It sure is yummy! Maybe that's why my Mom always kisses my feet.

I love you, Granny!

Home With Daddy

Hi Granny! Yesterday I went on the airplane to go home to see Daddy. I did great on the airplane - I didn't sleep much, but I didn't cry much either. Not a bad showing.

Daddy was there when we got off the airplane! I was SO happy to see him. I couldn't wait to show him my new trick - now I can suck in my lower lip! Plus I think I have more hair now.

Tonight my Mom put me in my new Buffalo Bills outfit. She said that girls as pretty as me can get away with wearing boys clothes. She said it is important to support our teams - even when they aren't very good.

I love you, Granny! I had such a great visit with you and can't wait until I get to see you in October.

Last Day in Buffalo

Hi Daddy! Today was my last full day in Buffalo. Thank goodness - I miss you so much!

Aunt Mira came over this morning. We played and sang and went outside. She is a lot of fun. She also made macaroni and cheese, which made Mommy very happy.

Then Granny, Grandpa, Katy, Mommy and I went to eat dinner on the water. It was a place called Dug's Dive. Mommy forgot my formula, so Mommy, Katy and I had to leave a little early so I could eat. Look at what we saw on our way! The Bills make me wanna shout!

Once we got the bottle situation taken care of, we went back to Katy's house so I could say goodbye to the Kasslers. I'm really going to miss them. Katy is going to come visit us in California in a few weeks! But then she is going to a place called New Zealand. Mommy says that New Zealand is about as far away as you can go. I'm going to miss Katy a lot.

I love you, Daddy! Can't wait to see you tomorrow!

Kristina's Married!

Hi Daddy! Yesterday was my cousin Kristina's wedding! It was such an amazing day - I wish you could have been with us. Before the wedding, Mommy, Uncle Ryan and I went to see Granny and Grandpa.

We brought over pizza and wings. I got a lesson in how wings should be made. See how the wings look crispy and there is no sauce just sitting on the bottom of the container? Apparently this is very important. Mommy and Uncle Ryan tell me that you can only find good wings in Buffalo. Good thing we get to go to Buffalo a lot!

Then we went to the wedding. Kristina was a beautiful bride and it was a super nice wedding. I know that Kristina and Sean will be so happy together.

I only got to stay for a little while - Mommy wanted to hang out without me (very rude). Mr. and Mrs. Kassler picked me up and I got to hang out with them all night. They are SO much fun.

Daddy, I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures of me with the Kasslers - Katy took some. Maybe she will email them to you.

I love you, Daddy. I miss you very much.

Hi Daddy!

Hi Daddy! Granny said it was okay for me to use this blog to write to you this week. Today was awesome. When I woke up, Mommy took me outside to play because Uncle Ryan was still sleeping. She put a blanket down on the ground and let me play with my toys and roll all around.

Once Uncle Ryan woke up we went to go see Granny! I was SO happy to see her and Aunt Carolyn. Granny fed me a bottle and then we went to Andersons so everyone else could eat. Daddy, you should have seen Mommy and Uncle Ryan inhaling their beef on weck. Nuts!

Later on Granny, Uncle Ryan, Mommy and I drove to Niagara Falls to go to Kristina's rehearsal dinner. I took a nice long nap. Good thing, too! There were so many people there! Grandpa and Great Mama and Aunt Mira and Aunt Olga and Aunt Olga's whole family and Jory and Alex and Kayleigh and Uncle Jack and Uncle Neil and a million other people. It was just awesome. Unfortunately there are no pictures because Mommy didn't take any. Silly Mommy.

Daddy, I'm having lots of fun in Buffalo, but I miss you a whole lot. I'm sending you kisses in my dreams.

Heading to Buffalo

Hi Granny! Today I am a little happy and a little sad. I'm happy because I'm coming to Buffalo today and I get to see everyone. I'm sad because I had to say goodbye to my Dad. Eight days is a long time without seeing my Dad.

I sure do love my Dad a lot. I wish he could come with us. Stupid work.

I'm having a lot of fun with Uncle Ryan. He's silly!

I love you, Granny! I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm Tired

Hi Granny! This was a very busy weekend. Today my Mom, Dad and I went for a walk in Claremont with my Grammy and Grandpa Harold. We looked in all of the shops and got a bunch of fruit at the farmers market. Later on we met them for a nice Italian dinner at Victoria Gardens. There were two other babies there - one was four months old just like me! The other was six months old. I was a whole lot bigger than she was because she was born 3 months early. Granny, that baby had her ears pierced! My Mom told me that she had her ears pierced when she was that age. And Lula has her ears pierced and she isn't that much older than I am. My Dad doesn't want me to get them pierced but maybe I can talk him into it. I can be very persuasive (crying usually works).

Anyhow, I am beat. I love you, Granny!
