Prunes!!!

Dear Ty Guy,

Look, even I have to eat yucky prunes!!!! Mooly said I'm a real slob and get it all over my face, just like someone else I know. Eat up for me bud, I know you like them better than I do.



Picture me kissing that soft little gooey germy spot right behind your left ear.

Love, Grandma Becki

What Grandma Does at the Hospital

Dear Nathan,
Every day I get blood dripped into me (see the little red tubes coming from above my head and down my arm) and then I get to carry a special backpack full of a bunch of chemo drugs. The backpack has to go EVERYWHERE with me and since it can't get wet I can't even shower. I'll bet you think that's pretty cool. Tomorrow is the last day I have to wear the backpack for a few weeks. Isn't that exciting? (The backpack is the black thing leaning between me and my nurse in the picture).

I love you all the way to the stars!!

Love, Grandma Becki

Bug cars, and firetrucks and buses, oh my!

Dear Grandma Becki,

I love you.  We saw 3 bug cars and 1 tow truck and 1 firetruck and 3 coke trucks and 13 school buses and 8 city buses and we saw 3 crane trucks.

Love from Nathan

P.S.  Nathan likes to draw very Jackson Pollock-esque pictures on Ty's new magna-doodle.  He was very proud of this one, so we took a picture for Grandma Becki.

Self-portrait

Dear Grandma Becki,

I love you!  I want to have fun with you and watch you take that yucky medicine.  I want to play with you all day forever.  I want to go to your house and poke my head in your window.  

Love, 

Nathan

P.S.  Nathan, the budding photographer, took the self-portrait at the top, and this cute picture of Ty getting into the tupperware drawer!

Pudding Painting

Nathan 2008

Brett and Emily approx. 1982

Nathan saw this picture of Brett and Emily on my computer screen saver, so we decided to do pudding painting for our Family Night activity on Monday. Nate had a blast. He asks me every day if we can do it again! Thanks for the great idea.

Here's a video of Nate "painting":

Egg Nog

Dear Grandma Becki, 

I love you.  I want to go to your house when you feel better.  Dear Grandma Becki.  I want to see you when you feel better.  I love you.  Dear Grandma Becki.  Tonight is family night and we get to drink egg nog.  I like family night.  Let's drink egg nog together all night.  I love you, bye.  Dear Grandma Becki.  I love you.

Love, Nathan

P.S.  Nathan did the whole outside edge of this puzzle by himself!

Lots of pokes

Dear Grandma Becki,

I can empathize with you a little bit today.  I had to go to the doctor and get four "pokes" in my leg!  I cried a lot at first, but I'm doing lots better now.  I weigh 19 lbs 11 oz and I am 30 inches tall!  That's about the 55th percentile for height and 1oth for weight.  Overall I am doing very well.  I hope your visit to the doctor went well for you today.  I love you!

Love, Tyler
