A crazy week!

Last week Charlotte managed to get out of her casts- twice! We have a little Houdini on our hands. These pink casts are her new ones!

The International Rose Test Garderns

We decided to head out to the Rose Gardens in Portland today since Charlotte is feeling like herself again. It was also the perfect opportunity to get some pictures of her on the pretty dress her great grandma (my grandma) sent her. It was a beautiful day!

In the car, on the way to the gardens.

You can see the city from up here.

I was trying to get her to look towards the camera, but it was too bright.

sleepy baby

I am so mad that you woke me up, dragged me here, and changed me into this ridiculous hospital gown.

i think I'll sleep until they are ready for me.

This is the mark to show where they will cut.

she was so tired and cranky. my poor baby.

She fell asleep almost immediately.

Her new, super chunky casts.

Ready to go home.

First trip to the zoo!

Looking at animals makes me tired.

Lunch break.

what a great exhibit!

No dad, eating your hand is more interesting than looking at the Polar Bears!
