Long overdue

I know, I know. 

We have been very busy here at Agnew Central and things like blog posts (and laundry and dishes *ahem*) tend to take a back seat. 

October came and went in a flurry.  Charlotte was very popular and had several events to attend all of which required a costume.  So, of course, I couldn't buy one, I had to make one.

Our little ladybug loved her wings (I loved them too). 

We went to a birthday party for a friend, and we had her school festival and parade, AND we went to the annual Memorial Hermann NICU patient caregiver reunion at the zoo.  It was such a good time and we even got to see our favorite nurse and her two sons, which was wonderful.  Aaron and I were both surprised that she remembered us and our ordeal and relayed it to her kids without prompting from us (almost two years later).  I guess we made an impression.  I only regret that I didn't thrust Charlotte at her and demand a photo.  Next time *fingers crossed*.

And just in case any of you need a reminder, we are one week and one day from her 2nd birthday.  When she looked at me and smiled and said "Hapffy" today for the first time, I thought yes, yes I am very happy.

I promise to blog about her birthday....at some point :)

P.S. I heard this blog inspired and helped.  I am so very happy Charlotte, Aaron and I were able to help and even more glad to hear you have a healthy little one at home. Strength in numbers really applies in a variety of places :)
