Dear Aunt Corey,
When are you going to come down? You have to as I have been waiting forever. So you better come down really quick.
If Uncle Yo-Yo is sick you will need to leave him there.
If Uncle Yo-Yo is sick you will need to leave him there.
I am sick too, I have a cough from Winter.
My baby brother is sleeping, and I am sitting on my mom's lap.
To get to our house you have to go on road T to road 63 and then road M. If you see equipment and moo-moos that is our house. Don't park in the garage my mom's car is in the garage.
If our door is locked go to the other door.
Do you know our friend Aunt Piggy, she isn't a real pig. Mom what is her real name?
I want you to come real bad! I can't wait to see you. I really want you to come to my house!
Talk to you soon.
Love,
(My niece just turned 4. My sister-in-law wrote the email.)
Dearest Miss Molly,
We are coming to see you!
We are coming home.
We will be at your house (on road M where the moo moo's live.) in eight days.
Please have the door unlocked and some cookies on the table. Alot of cookies.
Chelsea and Sacha are coming. But Uncle Yo-Yo has to stay home to take care of the bunny.
Hey Molly you called Aunt Peggy, Piggy! I hope you don't call me Corky, or Porky.
Give your baby brother a kiss for me. I cannot wait to meet him.
See you very soon. I hope your Winter cough is better so we can run and play with Sadie dog.
xoxox
Love and pinches on your cheek,
Aunt Corey

Home is where the heart is Corey. You are fortunate in that you have TWO homes, perhaps that explains why you have so much love.
Safe journey..and may your visit give you comfort and love and happy memories.
Going home is so often bitter sweet..

GOING HOME! Two verrrry sweet words when used together. Have fun! It has been awhile since my nieces and nephews were little and I miss those people so much! Now don't forget....our antiques over here aren't very old :)

I'll be thinking "welcome home to CA Corey" in 8 days. Your family must be thrilled that you are coming for a visit.

As lovely as it must be in France, I can see why you can't wait to get back to your other home! Cookies that have been kissed by small children are twice as good ;-)
Enjoy your visit!

Being an aunt is a treasure! My niece and nephews are the loves of my life (until I have my own children, and then they will still be!). What a sweet and precious thing to receive letters. I just got a Valentine from my 4-year-old nephew in the mail.

Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to. ~John Ed Pearce Had trouble trying to comment yesterday. Hopefully this works...CONGRATULATIONS Corey...well done.

More evidence to explain why your blog wins awards. Molly's letter is a real keeper-and so is she. Have a terric time back home!
Posted by: martina | 17 February 2007 at 02:31 AM
How lovely. Makes me want to call my Auntie.
Posted by: katkat | 17 February 2007 at 02:54 AM
Yay! Corey in California!
Posted by: Marilyn | 17 February 2007 at 05:08 AM
Oh wow is she a sweetie! And I LOVE how you made her lovely prayer piece for her, you can almost touch the love and peace there. Maybe it will find its way into a frame now and then into her scrapbook when she is older, I just really like that thought : )
Blessed Weekend : ) Wendy
Posted by: wendy | 17 February 2007 at 05:12 AM
How adorable is that child? How adorable is that email to you? How loved you are. and may I say how I truly, deeply, madly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, seriously...wish I could meet you while you are here in CA!
XOXO
Love,
Lisa

Where in California Corey! I want to meet you!!!! You are so amazing! :)
Posted by: AJ | 17 February 2007 at 08:46 AM
Except for love letters, there is nothing more precious than a letter (or email) from a small child. You are so blessed, enjoy the journey, enjoy the stay.
Posted by: leanneshouse | 17 February 2007 at 01:28 PM
so sweet, so cute!
Posted by: [a} | 17 February 2007 at 05:22 PM
the sweetest letters between a niece and an aunt far away and so close at the same time.
Posted by: Veronica TM | 18 February 2007 at 04:57 AM
Corey ~ I have a very strong sense that the sweet miss Molly has her dearn auntie's eyes.
She is a lovely child.
