We have had a fun, mostly relaxing week here at the Bischoff house. Yesterday, because of the tropical 40 degree weather, we paid an impromptu visit to the Jernigan’s, armed with cupcakes and ready for some fun. Inspired by our recent purchase of the “cow tunnel”, we broke out the boy’s Spiderman equivalent and sat back and took it all in. You should have seen how much fun the three of them had! It was the first time I can remember that I “left” Charlie alone (or could sit and drink coffee and visit) to play with other kids and not be right on top of her the whole time.
This morning we had a session at Celebrity Kids (www.celebritykids.com), a “Welcome, Charlie” gift from Daddy’s very generous boss, Denise. I have been holding onto it since her birth, just waiting for the right time to use it, and her 18 month milestone seemed like the perfect excuse. It was so fun watching her interact with the photog and ham it up. I dressed her up in some really sweet Spring outfits and she looked adorable!! Unfortunately, I don’t think they are going to allow me to post a watermarked pic on the blog, so a link to the gallery will have to be sufficient for now. They should be ready in about a week…I’m anxious to see the finished products! After the session, it was nice enough outside to stroll on over to Pottery Barn Kids. Such cute new things…more temptation for Charlie’s “Big Girl” room! I held off on that, but I did buy her an Easter basket and some fun things to put inside it. I am SO excited about Charlie’s first “real” Easter basket!!Here’s a pic of Charlie in her MJ “Abbi” knot from last fall. My Matilda Jane show went well enough to allow for some fun new purchases, and Mommy was also lucky enough to win three pieces of “Hotline” from a giveaway on the designer’s blog! All in all, a good effort.
