First trip

We headed to Houston this past weekend for our first "trip". I was probably looking forward to it the most since I hadn't been anywhere in over four months! We packed everything but the kitchen sink and headed out. It was a successful trip. She was only fussy when we weren't moving, which lucky for us was only a brief stint on Hwy 59. We had a good weekend visiting Micah's family and introducing Charlotte to her cousins and some friends.




We were finally ready to pick up Beaux's ashes this weekend. It was a bittersweet moment. Healing yet terrifying all at the same time. This was very important for me to do since I was unable to be with him in the hospital in Houston at the time of his death. It  was something that as a mother I needed to do for my son. What a strange experience. We are still not sure what we are going to do with ashes...I am just waiting for some wonderful idea to hit me over the head. Until then, I like that he is here with us in some physical way.

The latest weigh  in last week put our little chunk at 9lbs5oz! She has now moved from 3% to 10% in the growth scales. She is really becoming more animated everyday. She has discovered ceiling fans and is mesmerized!

Here are some pics from last weekend:
