I can’t begin to tell you all how sweet our reunion was on Saturday. Vann texted me that he was coming up the alley, and I went out to meet them. As soon as I rounded the corner, the look on Charlie’s face…she was so happy to see me, and I wasn’t prepared for the tears, but boy did they fall. I held her for the longest time and she clung to my neck for dear life.

Yesterday we went to church, and I opted to dress her in this darling Crewcuts dress that I found on super-duper sale last year. HILARIOUS. I’m a huge fan of J. Crew, and especially love the high-neck ruffle blouses they sell…believe me, if they made this dress in adult sizes, I would buy it. Seeing it on Charlie (who at first didn’t like the ruffle neck AT ALL) made her seem so BIG to me. It even has little pockets. SO CUTE.

In this pic you can see that she has begrudgingly accepted her fate…
