DC in pictures

July 3, 2014

 

I realized I never wrote a good DC post.. so here it is.

 

I have no fashion sense so I was texted a friend pictures of shoes. Notice my 2 helpers in the background. I thought of JLK a lot that day. I could take her anywhere with me... except shoe shopping. She HAD to look at every pair... TWICE!!

My first thought seeing this picture was ...she looks so grown up ..I hate it!... I choked on the words though.. I love having her as a baby.. but I cant wait to see her grow up. I was always the mom who was truly a bit hysterical every birthday eve for my kids..I thought I "hated" that they "had" to grow up. Now I am scared to trust that it will actually happen.

I asked Tony to try to start taking random pics of me with our kids. He nailed this one for sure. I love it.

In the lobby of our hotel. She was so good in her stroller this was her release. She was so cute .. and happy.. and fast. You can see why we got so many comments on her. This was one of my favorite dresses on Jennifer. She actually wore it in the maternity photo shoot we did when I was expecting Jonathan. I dont know what I am going to do when she wants to pick her own clothes...  I love putting her in Jennifer's things.. or something that connects my girls.

One of my favorite parts of the trip. Live butterflies. Charlotte was so excited in there.. squealing with delight and being so good to approach the butterflies slowly.

  4. Esther Mckee says:

    Such great photos! I love all
    Of them. My favorite one is of Charlotte and Pinkie. Such a sweet yet heartbreaking photo. You’re doing big things Libby! Keep it up! Ps the one that Tony asked you to take of him. Too funny!!!

  5. Zuzana says:

    Beautiful pictures and they do radiate happiness even if it is overshadowed with missing JLK. Charlotte is a charming little princess, so cute! I’m glad you had some good moments on this important trip. You’re all doing a great job with Unravel!!!xxx

  6. yvette says:

    Love all the photos..Thank you for sharing and again for memories of Jennifer.

  7. Linda says:

    Love the pictures! The ones of Jennifer always bring me to tears. Hugs, love and prayers.

  8. Valerie K says:

    Beautiful pictures! I dont know if you have heard of this or not but I thought I might mention it. There are people who make teddie bears out of a loved ones clothing after they pass away. It might give you a use for some of the clothes charlotte is growing out of and give all of you a pretty great gift that can last for a long time. One friend of mine has one made from her grandfathers clothes that she even brought to college! It brought a lot of comfort over the years.

  9. Andrea says:

    Charlotte is perfectly gorgeous in Jennifers dresses.

  10. Lyndee says:

    “Feel the Flutter!” <3 <3 <3 Baby Charlotte is so gorgeous. Thinking of all 6 of you! Sending love & hugs. XO

  11. Jill says:

    I love DC… thanks for sharing your pictures. Such an important mission.

  12. Charla Herider says:

    Another thing you can do with the clothes that belonged to both of your girls is to have them made into a quilt. You can keep it on your bed and snuggle “with them” every night.

  13. Anna DePalma says:

    Charolette is such a beautiful little girl. Just like Jennifer. Your kids are all just gorgeous. Great picture of all of you!!! Your on a mission Libby to get some action on Pediatric Cancer and have so many people behind you. You got this my friend and Jennifer is telling all her friends in Heaven what a great momma you are and how proud she is of what you are doing. So am I and waiting anxiously till I can do my part for your mission. We are on our way to find a cure for this monster disease that took away our precious Jennifer but I pray that with everyone’s help things will change for the best!!

  14. jennifer says:

    Fantastic pics!! Thanks for sharing.

  15. Kristina says:

    It’s so nice to see a smile on your face, Libby. Even if it was forced, it is contagious!

    I was able to spread a little glitter today here in Texas. While wearing my #love4jlk tank I was asked, ‘who is jlk?’ – I am guessing the cashier wasn’t expecting such a story!

    Hugs to your family.

  16. Kari says:

    Sending love.

  17. Prabha Venu says:
