Seven. Months. Later.

Dear Nathalie,

So, maybe it's been too long. Maybe I left out a whole bunch of amazing things that happened over the past seven months. But I assure you, I've been BUSY.

Starting in August, I had a million and a half things to accomplish before the end of the year:

1. My store was remodeled and I had to help my team move in and re-open! That was LOTS of work.

2. You started 2nd grade. SECOND.

3. Bridal shower!!! We had a bridal shower to go to and MOMMY was the BRIDE!

4. The Wedding!!!!!! Mommy and Daddy had their wedding in October and it was amazing! We're officially and official family!

5. Holiday Season at the mall. Mommy's job sucks sometimes. Let's leave it at that.

6. Girl Scouts started. You, my dear, are a Brownie.

7. Semi Annual Sale rolls around right after the holiday rush....see number 5.

Finally, mommy can breathe.

I'll post some pictures below, just so you have a visual of all that's gone on since June too.....but I'm excited to write about my new adventure.....Mommy is your Brownie Troop's Cookie Chair!

That means that I'm in charge of helping your Troop with Cookie Sales this year. All of you are first year Girl Scouts and most of the moms are first year as well....so this should be interesting. Wish me luck and hopefully, we have a kick ass cookie season!!

Remember, dear Nathalie, I may go a long time between letters, but I always come back.

Cheers to 2014!

Love,

Mom

Crazy Day

Dear Nathalie, It's "Crazy Day" at your daycare today. We got you all decked out with three ponytails and mismatched socks and shoes. Why does this warrant a letter? Because of the way you asked if I'd take your picture. Nathalie: Mommy, can we take fashion pictures? Mommy: uhhhh, yeah, we can take pictures. Nathalie: Okay, I want to do three fashion pictures. Here's what happened next: Fashion Picture # 1 Fashion Picture #2 Fashion Picture #3 WTF are you watching on tv? Is Wow Wow Wubbzy something I need to pay closer attention to?? Mickey Mouse Clubhouse features America's Next Top Model? You are a silly, silly little girl, dear Nathalie. Love, Mom

Nathalie v Concrete

Dear Nathalie, Your adventures at the day care have been exciting so far and you've only been there THREE days! It seems as though you possess the grace that I had at your age. (wah wah) Did I ever tell you about the time I tripped in the cross walk on my way to kindergarten and skinned both my knees? What a sight I was.... So, clearly, the nose took a beating in this one, but you handled the whole thing well. Only four unnecessary bandaids. Well done. More importantly than your fall, I wanted this letter to capture a memory I hope to never lose. We sang your lullaby together tonight. "You are my Sunshine." You sang nearly every word with me in the sweetest voice I've ever heard. It was a make-mommy's-heart-melt kind of moment. You aren't going to be a baby for much longer. You're a big kid starting at a big school in a few months. Now I know what your grandma was talking about when she would tell me that her heart was breaking ev...

Robot Dreams

Dear Nathalie, Tonight, while saying goodnight to everyone, Ron told you to be sure to have sweet dreams. Ron: Dream of sweet things like ladybugs. Nathalie: And castles. Ron: And flowers. Nathalie: And unicorns. Ron: And glitter. Nathalie: And ROBOTS. Then....the dance...... Thanks for the laughs tonight. You're the best. Love, Mom

Dear Nathalie, Love Mom
