December 1984

Friday the 30th of November.

Today is your sister's 6th Birthday. I can remember when Amy was just a little baby. The years go by so fast. I went shopping today with Kathie. We ended up going to Wonderland and I bought some donuts, and a cake for her birthday celebration tomorrow. Some thank you cards, and some birth announcements.

Chuck babysat you for a couple of hours, and you slept the whole time we were at the stores shopping.


Saturday, December 1st. Already!!! Christmas is only 24 days away. I can't wait it's your first Christmas. Amy came over today. We are going to have cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson, Chuck and Kathie and their children, Elizabeth and Christopher. It was fun, you gave Amy a Rainbow Brite Doll. She really liked it. We took a couple of pictures of Amy holding you, and I just know they are going to turn out sweet.

Sunday December 2nd..

You had a bath this morning, so cute! You seemed to enjoy the water. I just love the way a baby smells after having a bath. I just wanna have you next to me. You smell amazing!
We went to Grandma LaFleur's today so we could go to Great Aunt Rhonda's baby shower. you were a little fussy on the drive over, but it was okay. You just were a bit hungry. Great Aunt Jan, Grandma and you and I all rode together. You were such a good girl today. Everyone was so glad to see you.

Today was actually the day you were due. Only you decided to be born 3 weeks early. I don't mind one bit!

We stayed over Grandma's for awhile, I had dinner with them. Then I got so tired, I had to come home.

It's Thursday already, and it snowed last night. It is bitter cold outside. I'm glad we are inside. Daddy had to go to work today. I wish he could stay home. But we have Christmas shopping to do yet. So we have to have money to shop. I think we are going to put up the Christmas tree this weekend. I like Christmas. It's a nice season. Lot's of fun, making cookies, shopping and wrapping presents. I want to buy Daddy a new winter coat, and a new robe. He needs one really bad. Well it is late and you have been sleeping for 2 hours. In another 2 hours you are going to be waking up for your feeding. So I need my rest so I don't fall asleep.
I love you Shanelle, you are so pretty. You sure look so much Daddy!
