growing up way too fast

Charlotte can now roll over from her stomach to her back which is very nice because before she would roll to her stomach and get stuck and mad. She is so close to crawling. She is scooting and rolling all over the place and has become so much fun to play with. I'm loving motherhood :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Raleigh, NC

This last weekend we flew to Raleigh, NC to visit with some of Richie's family. Charlotte was surprisingly good on both flights and everything went real smooth. Everyone was so happy to spend time with Charlotte and she had a blast...especially his Grandparents. It was nice to get a little break (everyone was more than willing to hold and entertain her). We are all hoping to meet at his Mom's this summer for another little get together.
Charlotte's Great, Great Grandma crochet this outfit. We were really happy to get her picture wearing it while sitting in her Great Grandpa's lap.

Boots we will miss you

Boots passed away last night. The last few weeks he has been dropping some weight and I've been meaning to get him to the vet and Monday he started to have some labored breathing. The vet took some xrays and found that he had fluid around his lungs. He said there was a chance his thyroid wasn't working and Boots could be alright for awhile. He would need to take blood to find out but couldn't until he got the fluid out. The vet let me know that Boots could die at any moment and there was a really good chance that it could be heart disease or cancer. Yesterday he had me leave him at the vets so he could try to drain some fluid and get some blood but the two times the vet tried to get Boots out of the kennel Boots would start to freak a little so the vet would have to give him oxygen. Poor guy. The vet called me before they closed preparing me that Boots most likely wouldn't make it through the night. Boots was 14 years old and has been in my life the last 10 years. We are really going to miss him.
