When Baby G emerged from a long nap she found herself sitting high upon on a bookshelf in my Chicago condo. Baby G and I had hoped she she would be your Valentine's Day present but, that holiday had already passed she is still here. Today I was busy putting a box together to mail her to you,

when...

it dawned on me that I have so much to share with you.

For example, did you know Baby G has been hanging out with my Fiance, Bill? Baby G and Bill want to say, as do I, that they can't wait to meet you in person!

Baby G saw these pictures your Nana took of you (with your Christmas Ukulele) and she wanted to play too. So, we went on a field trip to the music store.

Baby G loves music just like you do. She loves to sing and dance. Aluna, do you like to sing? To Dance?

I love you so much already!

Here are some of the friends Baby G made at the music store.

You see, McKenzie and Abbi Baker. They want to say 'Hi' Aluna. BTW They aren't related to us, they just happen to have the name, Baker.

Here are more students of mine that have become friends with Baby G. Everybody here says, 'Hello' Aluna!

Baby G decided that she wants to be the singer in our family band. Do you want her to sing?

Maybe you should ask your Auntie Amanda if she'll sing in our band!

We love Baby G but, I've never heard a Giraffe sing so, I believe Amanda will sing better.

Please ask your Uncle Daniel what songs he would like to play in our band.

Is your Grandfather's busy building instruments for us?

Aluna, I'll leave it to you to ask your beautiful Mommy (and wonderful Daddy) what instruments they would like to play.

Why don't you ask them to write their answers here.

Grandma Jan will help you with Ukulele because, she loves you too! She will probably encourage you to call your Uke by it's Hawaiian pronunciation,

"oo koo lay lay"

Why don't you ask her what instrument she would like to play in our band, Harmonica, Uke or Piano?

Baby G wants to know!
