We are Staying Busy

Hi Everyone,

We just found out that the Shopping Day for Charlotte at Five Below (at VCC) has been EXTENDED to Sunday May 17th as well! We prefer that you take a "Shopping for Charlotte" flyer (we have lots at Romp n' Roll) but you can also tell them that you are shopping on behalf of Charlotte and they should credit your sale.

What a great day yesterday! Charlotte went with us to Romp n' Roll. We haven't had a day like that since before January. She participated in classes that we taught and then went to Princess class with 6 other girls. She was dressed in her Snow White costume complete with wig (for those of you who have seen last Halloween's photos, you know the look). Then we had lunch at Chic-Fil-A (so yummy), Mommy got her new iphone (yay!) and we went home for more fun.

I got to have my own "adult" playdate with a friend at Chili's yesterday afternoon while Uncle Kolbey played with Charlotte. Then it was home for dinner and LOST.

I couldn't have asked for a better day and I think Charlotte had a good time as well.

Today it's off to Virginia Blood Services. They are going to test my blood to make sure I can donate for her surgery in 2 weeks. We did not have time to do this before the last surgeries but can now. She and I have the same blood type so I can actually donate and designate the blood directly for her. There's a small fee but we think it's worth it. This is a good chance to remind everyone though: if you are eligible and able to give blood, please do so regularly. Blood donations are ALWAYS needed in Virginia and you will be helping kids (like Charlotte) and adults in need by giving regularly.

That's my PSA for the day.

Then we are heading over to "montessori house" for a lunch date. I know Charlotte will be excited to see her friends. Gotta go get ready for the day...
