Annika, I love your crab picture. It is so colorful. What was the inspiration for the picture? Did you read a story about a crab? Love-"Gran"
-- Mary Ann

This looks just like the frog that was on our patio this morning. We've also had tree toads on our deck and they crawl onto our windows and eat all the bugs. They are green, too, and they try to hide during the day. The bad thing is that the tree frogs smear up our windows. Do you remember our telling you about the doe and her twin fawns last year? Well they are now half grown and are called yearlings and the doe has another fawn. This one looks like a small buck deer. Our yard below our house has become secluded place for birds. I have humming bird feeders out and besides the humming birds that drink from them I have orioles and even a chickadee stops to drink. We love your pictures so keep posting them. Grandma and Grandpa Rued

Annika, what a cute frog hopping into summer. I hear frogs croaking some evenings in the pond by our house. Are you ready to Hop Into Summer too? I am glad to hear that you had a very fun birthday party...Love-Grandma I.
-- Mary Ann

Annika, Love your green frog. As you know green is my new favorite color. Luv ya, GP & Zoe
-- Pat

Hi Annika, I always like seeing your artwork. Your bird is so cute. What did you use for the nest? We have lots of birds in our yard. One year a family of robins built a nest on the rafters under the deck so I enjoyed watching the Mama and Papa Robin feed the babies. Love-Grandma I.
-- Mary Ann

Annika - you are so talented. What a cute little eco bird!!
-- Daddy

Annika, this is a beautiful hot air balloon! we should go for a ride in one! Love, Mommy
-- Susan

Hi Annika! What a bright and cheerful home you drew and colored. And I love the bird on the roof. Is it a robin? Robins are always a sign of springtime in Wisconsin. And I like that you add the sun, flowers, and a tree to complement your lovely house...Love-Grandma I.
-- Mary Ann

Annika, What a great picture "Love your home". You know I like your bright & vivid colors. Love ya, Grandma Pat
-- Pat

WOW! Annika, I loved the picture you created of you in the hot air balloon going "UP". I always love seeing your artwork and reading the teacher's comments on the artwork. How long did it take to make this beautiful picture? Love-Grandma I.
-- Mary Ann

Annika, I love hot air balloons. When Grandpa Tom and I got married your Daddy gave us a hot air balloon ride as a gift. Grandpa and I loved it. Your balloon is so colorful and your hair is growing so long. Great job!. Love ya, Grandma Pat & Zoe
-- Pat

Annika, Love your kitty's name. He has such pretty markings. Love, Grandma Pat
-- Pat

Your picture of "Tommy" must look like your real cat. He is a great looking cat and he seems to be very contented. What do you feed him as he is really growing? Eric Slegh has a black cat and he calls him a unique name"Blackie". When Grandpa and I were growing up we had cats but because we lived on a farm the cats lived in the barn where they could get lots of fresh milk when the cows were milked. Grandpa remembers how he would squirt the cats as he milked the cows but the cats didn't mind as they licked themselves clean of the milk. Great Grandpa G liked dogs better than cats so we had many dogs. His favorite dog was named "Duke". Where ever Grandpa went Duke was always beside him in the truck or car. Duke was a great companion to him and he always sat next to him on the seat. Quite a sight!
-- Dave/Ardella

Hi Annika, I love the drawing of the kitten-looks like Tommy. I have never read the book "Bed Full of Cats" so you will have to tell me the story sometime. Love-Grandma I.
-- Mary Ann

Hi Annika, Grandpa really likes the cat drawing. You are a great artist.
-- Richard

Great colors and just in time for St. Patty Day. Have fun. Love ya, Grandma Pat and Zoe
-- Pat

Annika, the quilted shamrock that you created is outstanding. How beautiful! You are quite an artist and have a good eye for color...Love-Grandma I.
-- Mary Ann

Annika, Grandpa Rued planted 3 apple trees last summer on the lower part of our lot on the way down to the lake. They are like the apple tree you pictured in your colored drawing except they have no apples on them yet. Last fall Grandpa did pick 2 apples off the tree; not as many as you pictured but they are starting to bear fruit. Our problem growing them is keeping the deer from them. Remember those cute baby deer you saw last summer; they have grown up and love nibbling on the apple trees. Grandpa has had to put a high fence around each tree to protect them from the deer. Continue to draw and color pictures as we enjoy seeing them.
-- Ardella/Dave

Hello Annika, s. The picture you drew is just like the "itsy bitsy spider" we sang about when you were here last summer. Your Mommy also knows the song so you should learn it, too, and sing it to your classmates We enjoy seeing all your drawings. You are becoming a great artist. Love, Grandma and Grandp Rued

Annika, I love seeing your artwork. I especially like all the beautiful colors behind the spider web. And your dairy cow was just precious! Do you know that the state of California and the state of Wisconsin have lots of cows? My favorite is your guardian angel though. My guardian angel has taken very good care of me all my life. I hope that you feel close to your guardian angel too. Love you lots-Grandma I.
