Today Charlotte turns 4! :).

 

We thought we would take this opportunity to do a blog post all about her and the big sister role she plays in this cancer journey. We are so proud of her and how she has handled everything this past year. She is an easy going girl and always up for an adventure (or a trip to the hospital :).

She enjoys life to its fullest - always excited about whatever is going on. We have been very blessed that she is an independent girl who plays well by herself or anyone else - it's made things a lot easier with everything concerning Evelyn.
Charlotte and Evelyn have become quite the pair these last couple months.

They need each other, depend on each other and miss each other when they are apart. Every Thursday Charlotte goes to our Aunt's house for the morning while Evelyn heads to clinic and when they come home Charlotte can't wait to see what Evelyn picked from the treat box and Evelyn's all ears as Charlotte tells her what she did at the library. Charlotte is a sensitive girl with a big heart so when Evelyn is on steroids she's usually on the receiving end of Evelyn's rage but is also quick to help her or make her comfortable with her blanket and lion.
Charlotte is a girly girl through and through - afraid of bugs, lover of shoes, purses, dresses and anything princess. We can usually find her singing or dancing trying to convince anyone and everyone to dance or sing along :).

Her dreams are limitless and her imagination even bigger - we look forward to watching her live out some of those dreams :). She's loves to read, craft and write and can often be found at the table immersed in any of these.

 

For as quiet as she can be she is also known as the loudest one in the group - she gets excited easily and when she does her volume increases as well :). She's my right hand girl, my sidekick, my helper - always willing to do whatever asked of her - a mother couldn't ask for better.
She reminds us daily to laugh often, forgive easily, be kind and recognize the joy and beauty in the little things. God has blessed us beyond what we could have imagined in this sweet girl. We thank God every day for keeping her happy and healthy - we are so lucky to call her our daughter.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
