Germany

you had your first international flight to Germany to visit uncle dan and aunt marissa. You were so good the whole trip. we couldn't have asked for a better little girl. you were so adaptable and you missed your naps many days, yet you just kept plugging along. oh don't get me wrong, there were some times you just weren't happy, but it was only b/c you were so exhausted you just couldn't go on. the favorite part for you was all the fountains, especially the ones in the sidewalks that you could play in. i felt so blessed to have all of you guys over there to see uncle dan, it was wonderful for me. and i watched as him and marissa grew closer to you and that made me very happy. family is everything and will always be there for you, so please always remember everyone loves you soooooo much.

the move

oh my dear bryce,
i sure do love you honey. you have moved to edinboro from mckean, living one mile from me. How I loved having you so close, i could walk to visit with you, when we were driving by, when you were driving by etc. I know you are still close to me as opposed to hours away, but i still very a longing having you in edinboro. I will get used to it, but right now, i miss you.
Your mommy works on tuesday and thursday nights, so i usually babysit you b/c your daddy is doing stuff around the house. and the other night you were cracking me up. well, actually, you make me laugh everytime i am with you. when i would walk away to go somewhere you would follow and say "coming Brycee". it was so funny. and then there is a sippy cup that you always have to drink out of when you come here, well, this time when you finished drinking it, you put it in your diaper bag.
i seriously don't know how you could be any cuter. you are such a joy to be with.
i hope i am always the best grandma i can be for you and your soon to be baby brother and any that may or may not follow!!
