Rockin'

Hey Sonia,

I had this chair when I was little (and your mom did too). I dug it out of your Nana and Papa's cellar a few weeks back. I polished it up and re-upholstered it for you. I even bought foam for the seat and made it comfy again (you should've seen the icky piece of foam that came out of it!)

Of course, you have it, but I thought I'd immortalize it on your blog for you. Here it is:



Love you,

Auntie Karen

Another Song For Sonia

Dear Sonia,

Last night, I went to a concert in Lowell (right near Nana and Papa's house!) and saw Michael Franti & Spearhead. They have been a favorite of mine for about a year now, but I've not seen them live yet. It was the best concert I ever saw. Their music is awesome! There were lots of kids there, too, because the music is for everyone! (Someday I'll take you to a show, okay?)

Anyway, while he was singing this song, I kept thinking it was a perfect song to give you. So, girly, climb into Mommy's lap (up, up, up, la, la, la) and give a listen to this one!

Swankness

Dear Sonia,

The other day, you got to go to a swank hotel in Houston and hang out at the pool. You had fun, your mom said, but then the photos came! What happened here?



But then you were fine! Look at you go!



And of course, then you put on a whole show for everyone afterwards, as evidenced here. By the way, in this photo, you look A LOT like your Auntie Karen and your mom when we were small.



Glad you had a good day of swankness, sweetness.

Love,

Auntie K
