| Annie's E-mails from Texas 2004 |
Annie is in Texas to help out her cousin Shannon with new baby adjustments... She and little William really hit it off as pals in March, so Annie was happy to go back to Texas in August to help with his care as his baby sister Katie joined the family.
E-mail from Annie!

Mommy!!!
*waits for you to say "Annie!!!"*
I missed you!!!!
Hehe. I'm online right now (obviously). It's about 9:40, so it's only almost seven there. I've been up since about 8 here. Anyhooties. Chris is makin' breffast.. Carmel rolls and bacon and other good stuff. It smells soooo good! I can't wait for it to be ready!
Yup, I went to Schlitterbahn! It was sooo cool! We got there and I changed into my suit (Emily's scooter one, which I thought would cover up more but didn't), then we went to the wave pool and Shannon and I got in the inner tubes (She kept getting beached, it was HYSTERICAL) then we went around and around a few times, then she spotted Chris and Will (They came in after us because Will had fallen asleep like, 15 minutes before we got to the park, lol), so we got out and talked to them for a while. Then we went to another pool part... Will was so cute in the water! He kept going out into the deep parts (Well, 3 feet), and I was like "Dude you're gonna go in over your head!" But he was fine. Hmm. I'll write a more detailed account in my journal that you can read when I get home! Oh! We had dippin' dots! I took a picture of them melting, since they don't do that in AK ;)
Yeah, Will's warm :) I didn't see him much the first day I was here, but he took my hand at Burger King yesterday (the burgers here are bigger!!!), and he let me carry him around at the water park yesterday. Chris and Shannon say that's a good sign :) I played with him a bit this morning, then came to check my mail.
Aw, I miss Smuckers! Sally is too small to even resemble my fat baby ;) I swear, I keep thinking I'm going to step on her. So far she's kept out from under foot :)
Ooo, you should go to Sitka! Make sure you get a camera first though ;) Shannon might dog sit? What about the horrid state of our house? Ooo! Have you gotten any more painting done?? I wish I could help :)
That sucks about all the activities... I guess it's for the best though. It smells like Texas here :D I walked out to the car yesterday and was like "AHh! It smells like Texas!" Hehe. I miss you all though. :-/
Anyhooties, I better get going, breffast is ready! Love you!!!!! MWAH!!!

Heeey!
LOL A novel? Whatever you say, crazy lady ;)
We had caramel rolls, eggs, and bacon for breakfast. It was sooooooooooo good! We're all in sugar comas now from the rolls though ;)
Shannon has an ultrasound appointment at 1:15 today, so I think I'm gonna go with her to that. I think Chris and Will are gonna go too.
LOL Yes, my suit covered up more than quite a few other ones I saw. :| Oh well! Whatever floats your boat! And yeah, I got plenty of pictures of William in the water :) He was such a cutie pie!
LOL Quit naggin, I'm doing fine. I didn't finish the burger (it was too big!) and didn't have room for fries, save for about 4. Will was cute, he'd dip the fry in the ketchup, then suck the ketchup off, then just repeat the process till the fry basically fell apart. Too funny :)
Ohh Muckers. :*( I wish she were here. My bed is so empty at night :( I have my fom, my blankie and my popple, but it's not the same without trying to manuver around a fat chi ;)
Oooo! Gecko insurance! Is it cheaper?
Yes, I did forget my eyelash curler. I also need lotion! I've been using baby lotion that Chris and Shannon have, but I'd like some Curel. And yes, could you please send my Mudds? I think I'm going to need more shorts though ;)
Aw, why can't you just fly home with Daddy from Sitka? And doesn't he get like, a discount on flights? Is there paperwork he can fill out?
Good luck to Cyndee with the no smoking venture. I know she can do it! And to answer your question, no, I did not cry all the way to Texas. I didn't cry at all after I got on the plane (okay, maybe a tear or two!) and I haven't been teary eyed since.
Anyway, talk to you later! Love you bunches and bunches!!!

Yup, hotmail works here :) Chris set up laptop for me, so I've got my own little geek mobile :)
Aw, that sucks that you have a cold :( *sends some TX warmth*) I hope you feel better soon.
No problem on getting my stuff. I'm thinking I need to invest in a pair of flip flops and a few more pairs of shorts ;) I made the mistake of wearing jeans yesterday and it was like "Are you crazy??" It's fine in the house but once you get outside it's like you've got snow pants on!
Ooo, I can't wait to see the inside painted. The blue looked so good in the den, I can only imagine how great the dark blue will look in the kitchen. Fun fun! Anyhooties, I'm off. Chris is running errands, Shannon is going to be working, and I've got the kid :D talk to you later!!
LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!!!!!!!!

Aw, I still miss you too. I got teary last night, but I think it was the lightening and stuf and the fact that I couldn't come in your room and didn't have Smuckers to cuddle with was what did it. I stayed up till 2 reading the Coben book (It's really good!), then hit the hay. Will woke up at 7, chris came and got him then I got up and got in the shower. Blah. Boring. We're going swimming later, so that should be fun!
Lots of colors in the house! I can't wait to see them. LOL Are you not telling Daddy because you want him to paint the insides of the cupboards? ;)
I know there is a pair of LEI shorts, and then one more skort that's light blue denim.. It's not that great a fit on me though, so y'all can keep that one. I was cold this morning (prolly the wet hair... I think you may have to send me my hair dryer and all that fun stuff..), but it gets pretty warm during the day and towards the night.
How is Cyndee doing without her cigs? Good, I hope!
I would send you pics, but I forgot the cable to my camera!!! I installed everthing then realized I couldn't download my pictures *sob* lol So make sure to put that in my box as well. And pictures! I want pictures of my babies and family!
Anyhooties, I'm gonna get going. I love you bunches and will e mail you later today or tomorrow. Mwah! LOVE YOU!!!!!

These pictures are actually photos that are in Aunt Rose's photo albums, I just loved seeing my Mom as a little kid so I took pictures of them because they were just too cute... Mama, you were and still are adorable :D *hugs you* Oh yes, and the "Milky the Cow" picture... I am pretty sure that was from the 1977 album, but I saw it in there and was like "What the heck kind of game is that... That child is milking a plastic cow!!!" I laughed till I cried, and told Shannon about it when we went over to their house today, and Chris must've heard me laughing about it because he looked it up on Ebay and shouted "Milky the cow is $29 on ebay!" I told Shannon to forget the scrapbook for Christmas, I want my own tiny cow to milk, lmao!! And there is a picture of a dog, which I think is Sugar, so I took a picture (of the picture, lol) just in case.

Okie doke. We started out with William playing peek-a-boo with his blanket.. Heh. We got to Chris and Shannon's and Shannon came downstairs with Katie and I got a bunch of pics there.. Some of the cutest ones came out blurry (#'s 11 and 14), but they were still adorable enough to upload :D Katie got a "visit from God" and he gave her "stink in her poops" in the last 3 days, according to Shannon, so when she pooted Shannon had to check her diaper to see that there wasn't a goodie in there. Rest assured, there was nothin' ;) Then we all got up to go take pictures by the stork (Which Aunt Rose kept calling a duck. LOL) Chris and Shannon kept going "Okay, who's going first?" and I'm like "What does it matter?" and they say "So we know which camera to look at." LOL I just kinda rolled my eyes and was like "Don't worry about it" so Aunt Rose got the ones of them looking at the camera, and I got the ones of them looking at Aunt Rose. LOL And I'm done rambling :) After that we came back inside and set Katie up next to William's shoes, which made her look even tinier than she already is :) Chris gave her some Eskimo kisses (everyone together: Awww!), and then Aunt Rose held her and I took some close shots with the zoom (love love love that feature), and then William climbed up with Aunt Rose and looked at Katie a few times... At one point I think he pointed to her and said 'baby', but I'm not sure.. and then I held her (Shannon got pictures!)! After that, I gave her to Diane and then we watched as William buckled Katie's carseat... All by himself! It was pretty incredible... He just kept trying until he figured it out.. Thank goodness he doesn't have the unbuckling skills (yet). Then it was back home to Aunt Rose's where there was a guitar on the floor, and Will gave that a few strums :D
And that's all she wrote! :) To any relatives that haven't seen pictures, if y'all can please send the link to them, that'd be great!
