Italy and Easter Training

Drew and I went to Italy last week and left poor pitiful Miss Charlotte behind.  She cried the entire week we were gone because she missed us so desperately....

Uh....not so much.  She had such a fabulous time with her grandmothers and Jackie that she hardly noticed we were gone.  I think they went to Gymboree about eight times and to the zoo and to the Children's Museum and to the neighborhood park.  I think Charlotte was starting to think she could do without us entirely.  Since her grandmothers have left, she's been running around asking for Nanna and Mamaw constantly.  She's been a bit clingy too, though, so I guess she did miss her momma at least a little.

I forgot to ask Drew's mom to send us some pictures from when Drew and I were out of town, so all our eager readers will have to wait a bit for those.

I've added a few below from Charlotte's Easter Egg Hunting Training Session.  My mom wasn't going to get to see her on Easter, so she brought Easter early.  She cooked us a fabulous lunch of ham, sweet potato casserole, squash casserole, rolls, and corn.  Yum.  And after we ate and Charlotte napped, we "hid" some eggs for Charlotte to find.  She had a blast with them.  And she's been wanting to hunt eggs ever since.  She is totally going to kick those other kids butts at Easter Egg hunting. 

There's also a picture of Charlotte visiting with the Easter Bunny in our neighborhood clubhouse.  She was not a fan.  Neither were any of the other kids!  Ha!





And here are a few pictures from Italy....





The top one is the Colliseum in Rome, obviously.  The middle is Drew throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain, and the last one is me in Verona on Juliet's balcony.

Charlotte misses all her friends and family.  Hope to see you soon.  Till then, enjoy the pictures!
