Charlotte's Journey

Charlotte's best medicine just flew back home today after a great long weekend up here in Philly together. Last Sunday, I flew back home while Brian stayed up here with Charlotte. The three of us overlapped here Friday and Saturday. Thanks to Pops and Mimi babysitting last Saturday night,  Brian and I even got a dinner date! Brian spent the week up here taking Charlotte to her morning radiation appointments and spending the rest of the day "adventuring" (he coined the term haha). They had a ball together. Those who know Charlotte know how much of a daddy's girl she's always been. It was truly special time for the two of them while I got time at home with my other 2 babies. Honestly, because they are both in school during the day, I felt like a fish out of water. Without Charlotte to care for and play with all day, I felt like I was missing a limb. It was a nice break though and I got some great time with the older 2 after they got home from school. Friday, Feb 2

Our cousin Jen Wilson said it best today in a message she sent us. She said she's saying a prayer for us while we are geographically separated right now. It is a geographic separation alone as we keep connecting each day through all the wonderful modern technologies available to us. FaceTime is a god send for sure! I miss my Taylor and Parker so much. For some reason I really miss Brian and kids and home today. I wouldn't think it's because it's Valentine's Day because this is not a huge holiday in our family but maybe that is a part of it. I just miss them. It feels like we've been here for so long and it hasn't even been a week! Charlotte, on the other hand, is happy go lucky and doing wonderfully with all this newness. I think she's handling this better then I am. Tonight, she yanked me up and we had a living room dance party! Her fun loving spirit saves me every time. Another case in point: I share this video with you below, our amazing village,
