As I wipe the tears out of my eyes as this message came and I read some
of Carl's stuff...  I was smiling and laughing to myself looking at the
pictures...  Erinn and Conrad are really beautiful and Erinn is already
growing into such a lady. Conrad actually uses utencils to eat now.
And Kelly is one of the strongest people I know.

Many people on this list have made me part of the family and I love and
treasure you for it.  I can't put into words what it means to me.

With much love,

Franco

Hi, everybody.  This is Wiggles.  I haven't had much time to put
pictures on my Yahoo Group for all of my family and friends to see.  A
lot has happened in the past couple years and I've just been too busy.
Whew!
I'm not a baby any more.  I'm a big girl now.  I'm already in
Kindergarten!
My Pa Pa Ray is gonna help me catch everyone up.  We're gonna put some
new pictures up as often as we can.  We put two new albums up today.
Sign on to the site and take a look.  Look for 'Wiggles Get's a
Brother' and 'Conrad's First Birthday'.  We will be putting more
pictures on as often as we get a chance.
That's all for now.  Thanks for being part of my group.

Bye,

Wiggles

Here are a couple of new pictures

Today as we pulled up to Grandma's house, Kelly saw she had put out
an Uncle Sam decoration.  Kelly said, "Look-There's Uncle Sam."

Wiggles replied "Where is his car?"

I realize I haven't posted anything since Wiggles new brother was
born on March 27, 2004.

I think she can read now.  She read "Pat the Bunny" to me.  She
recently looked at a video game box and said "What does L-O-R-D R-I-N-
G-S spell?"

Wiggles loves her new brother.  He's very different from Wiggs.  He
is not wiggly at all.

I put up the pictures of Go-Go & Wiggles in a folder called Spring
2004.  Feel free to use this folder to put in more pictures when
Birdy arrives on Saturday

Last night we put Practice Phreadd in the car seat to make sure we
had it together correctly.  Wiggles thought it was the cutest thing.
She is so excited about Birdy coming.

I created a photo album with Wiggles at the pow-wow on January 3.

Look at the folder called Winter 2003 for three new pictures of Wiggs.

At dinner on Sunday Grandma Linda said she thinks she would just keep
Wiggles and let Kelly & I move to our new house.  Wiggles
replied "But Grandma they won't kill me."

We have no idea where that came from.

On Saturday the Gillespies helped to paint the upstairs of our new
house.  Of course Wiggles wanted to paint with a little brush.  So
Mommy and Grandma Linda let her paint the wall of the bathroom with a
little foam brush!  It was hard to keep her away from painting the
rest of the day.

Wiggs new room is bubble gum pink.  Birdy's room is a bright Bahamas
yellow.

Today was the first day that Wiggs saw her new house.  She was very
excited.  She said "Abracadabra" and was able to turn on the gas
fireplace just like she does at Grandma's. The walls are all white
and she asked "Where are my colors?"

We started painting the new house today.  I went into our bedroom to
finish taping and Wiggs came with me.  She wanted to tape also.  So
we taped the windows and floor molding together.  Then she took the
tape and put pieces up in random places on the walls and doors.  She
said she wants to help paint also.  I asked her to supervise instead.

Today Wiggs was supposed to be taking a nap.  Kelly & I were sitting
downstairs when we heard from upstairs "Daddy I pooped."  Wiggs
climbed out of her crib, took off her sleeper, and pooped all by
herself.  I saw the evidence as proof.  She's getting to be such a
big girl.

This weekend Wiggles saw a Shirley Temple movie and loved watching
her dance.  Then she tried to tap dance like her and it was the
cutest thing!

While we were at the beach last month Uncle Franco gave Wiggles a DVD
of his band playing.  On Saturday Wiggs and I watched it together.
When they would start a song that Franco did not sing lead on, she
would say "Where is Uncle Franco singing?"  So I would have to skip
that song and go to one that he was lead on.  She didn't want to hear
any of the songs that Franco wasn't lead on.

We watched the dvd probably 5 times on Saturday and Sunday.  On
Sunday she woke up crying "I want to see Uncle Franco singing!"  It's
amazing that at 32 the ladies still love Franco.

Yesterday Wiggles and I were at practice for our Indian drum group.
Our headsingers daughter Kelsey is 6 or so, and Wiggs & her adore
each other.  During practice Kelsey put some makeup on Wiggs and
painted her two big toe nails purple.  It was cute watching Wiggles
lay there with her feet on a paper towel while Kelsey painted her toe
nails!

On Thursday morning Wiggles & I had our first big fight.  As I was
trying to get her dressed she wouldn't cooperate.  We both argued
with each other until Mom separated us.  I left the room while Mommy
talked to Wiggs.  When I came back, Mommy told me that she told
Wiggles that "You made Daddy angry."  Wiggles replied "Daddy made me
angry."

Mommy talked to us about cooperating and being nice to each other.
Wiggles & I kissed and made up.  At dinner last night we talked about
it some more and Wiggles said "We have to be nice to each other."

This morning went much smoother.

For the last two nights, Wiggs has brought her Sleeping Beauty doll
in the bath tub with her.  While I give Wiggs a bath, she gives
Sleeping Beauty one at the same time.  She'll ask for shampoo, wash
her hair, and be careful not to get water in Sleeping Beauty's eyes.
Then she asks for a wash rag and washes her off.  Then I have to put
Sleeping Beauty's jammies on and read the two of them a story before
bed.  This morning Wiggles helped Sleeping Beauty tinkle on the potty
on then bushed her teeth.  It's so cute watching Wiggs take care of
Sleeping Beauty!

Thanks for posting these.  They are great!

Check out the latest album, Wiggles' vacation at the beach.

Thanks for posting these pictures.  She looks like she had such a
good time meeting Snow White and driving that baby around the boat.
She is such a big girl.

PaPa Ray just created a new album and posted pics of my vacation at
Nanny Jill's.  Check it out.  She loves me.

Well, Wiggles, PaPa Ray said he already has a sleeping beuty.  At
least Nanny sleeps a lot!

At day care they taught Wiggles a song about friends that's in
Spanish.  It starts out "Uno, dos, tres amigos"  and goes like that
through ten.

Today Wiggles was talking about her birthday.  She said she wants
Snow White for her birthday.  So we started talking about upcoming
family birthdays, and we asked her what Papa Ray wants for his
birthday.

She replied "Papa Ray wants Sleeping Beauty."

We'll see what happens on July 16!

Yesterday Wiggs kept telling Kelly that she wanted to go on the
spaceship.  Kelly asked her to draw a picture of the spaceship and
she drew a bunch of different colored lines.

We asked Linda about it and she said that the spaceship on ET made a
rainbow when it flew.  Wiggs drew the rainbow from the ship.  She is
too smart!

This morning she showed us how ET walks.

Grandma Linda has posted a folder called 'Pictures from Grandmas and
Poppops'.  It has six pictures from Wiggles vacation with them.  You
can see her bike and her helmet.

1.  "ET phone home" after seeing this movie.  She loved it.
2. "Grandma Catherine!"  to Grandma Linda
3.  "I eat chocolate ice creme and pine cones!" Grandma Linda let her
have an ice creme cone.
4.  "I'm not hungry thank you" when asked if she wanted lunch.

Thanks to Kelly we have some new pictures on the site.  Look in the
photo album folders for April 2003 and Spring 2003.  In April 2003 we
added more pictures from our visit to Johnstown.  Spring 2003 has
some various cute ones and pictures from Easter.
