"Oh, Aunt Rachellll...."

Dear Aunt Rachel,

I know that you might be having a hard time deciding whether or not you want to come to Illinois to visit my brother and me. I know Uncle Amos has to go away and he might come home to you at night, and I know you're worried about what you will do with the dogs... but I just want to remind you that the last time you saw me face to face I looked like this...

...and brother, God bless him, looked like this...

See how fast we have changed? I am talking now and playing and the weather is so nice here. You and mama could go to Country Junction and cook really good dinners. We could go to the park and stay up late giggling and tickling!!! I know you'll miss Uncle Amos but this is a good way to keep yourself (very) busy while he is away. And if you make a baby before he leaves, maybe you could find out with mama and surprise him when you get home?!!! You should really say yes because you wouldnt want brother to cross his eyes like this anymore would you??

I cant believe how little I was! A few weeks ago I looked like this...

And bubby looked like this...

...but we have changed already! Time is tickin away Aunt Rachel. Mommy said to tell you to make up your mind and get your butt to Clinton IL! Daddy even said he wants you to come and stay (he knows mama misses you so badly and I think he probably does too!)

Mommy always finds a way and she aint kiddin this time either!

So what do ya say...

You wanna come play?

I miss you so much.

Love, NoraElaine♥
