Hi Daddy!
I had a great day today- I was happy all day long! I was a little crazy last night.  I was too excited from seeing you and Uncle Peter on the computer at the same time.  I can't do that before I go to sleep any more.  I was so crazy that after Pop-pop put me in bed I tried to climb out and I fell on the floor! Mimi and Pop-pop ran upstairs to get me- I was scared and they were too.  I was not hurt, but I cried alot!  They both hope that I learned that it is not a good idea to try to climb out of my crib- we'll see.
So after I went to Hilary's I came home and played with play doh and with my toys.  I had Chinese food and rice for dinner- after my bath Brittani came over and Mimi and Pop-pop went out.  I was very happy to see Brittani- I love to play with her! I even let her put me to bed at 9:00- I went right to sleep!
It was supposed to snow today, but it didn't. Maybe it will snow tomorrow- I hope so, because all the snow is almost gone.  Mimi says it looks ugly when everything is brown and there is no snow.
I hope you had fun with your friend today- maybe we can talk to you tomorrow.  You have to teach me more Portuguese words!
Eu ti amo Daddy!

I like to climb up here and pretend I am a kitty

Painting a picture for Daddy!

January 4

Hi Daddy- I had a good day today.  I woke up at 4 in the morning so I had trouble waking up again at 7:30, but I was OK.  I had fun at Hilary's- I played with a new boy there who is 4- he was nice.  I had alot of spaghetti and got my clothes all messy!  After my nap Mimi came to get me and when we went home I played with Uncle Peter- I am sad because he is going back to Japan tomorrow.  I will miss him.  We played outside and then he had to go to his cousin's house.  I had stew for dinner- here is a picture of me all dirty-

I was not sad in this picture- I was making a funny face!

I made a big mess with my dinner but i ate a lot of food!

I'll talk to you tomorrow Daddy- I love you!

Monday, January 2

Hi Daddy- it was fun talking to you on the computer today- 2 times!!We missed you a lot when you were at the farm.  I love the animal pictures you put on facebook- the baby cow and horse are so cute! I hope I can go there someday and see them.  After we talked to you this afternoon we went outside and fed the birds- it was cold out but I wore my warm coat and my mittens so I was OK. I love to go outside.  I pulled my sled out of the garage so Mimi could pull me in it, but there was not very much snow left.  There might be more coming on Friday.
These are some movies of me playing outside yesterday- and here is a website of a funny Japanese cat that Uncle Peter showed to me.  I think this cat is so funny- I love to watch him because he makes me laugh a lot!
Talk to you soon- love, Karina xoxo

Happy New Year!

Hi Daddy- we think you must be visiting your parents because you haven't been answering your phone.  We hope that you are OK and that you had a fun New Year.  We went to a big party last night at Uncle Terry's house. He has a big house in Berlin, about 20 minutes away.  All of Pop-pop's family was there except for his Mom and Keith.  There was a lot of food and everybody got presents- it was a little crazy.  I was a good girl and everyone loved me there- here are some pictures-

Noah shared his ball with me- he is so nice!

I am dancing with my cousins

Today I was a little tired because I didn't go to bed till about 10:00 last night.  It was very warm today- 50 degrees! We went for a big walk this morning, and then I had lunch and took a nap.  My mom came and watched me so Mimi and Pop-pop could go to church and to see a movie.  I slept for a long time- when they came home I was still asleep! Mimi woke me up and then I played and danced and then we had dinner.  We had ham and potatoes and asparagus.  I didn't really like the asparagus.   Then I had a bath and now I am looking at books and p````````` (I was just helping Mimi type!) Anyway I am playing with my new Christmas toys.  Mimi took some movies of me and she will put them on here later.

I hope we can talk to you soon- I miss you very much!! Eu ti amo- and Feliz novo ano! And boa noite!
