Busy Week

It's been a busy week and I'm learning that I don't catch up as fast as I used to. Starting last Friday I was off for the traditional March Madness girls weekend. I had a wonderful time snowshoeing around Steven's Pass and staying in a beautiful "cabin" on Lake Wenatchee and most of all being with my girls for 3 solid days! It was definitely hard leaving Cassidy and Chad, but with Chad's help I managed to get out the door to enjoy an amazing weekend to lighten my soul, 3 expeditions to kick my butt, and the most beautiful smile from Cassidy when I got home.






Then the beautiful PNW weather kicked up and Monday night gave us more snow over blooming daffodils and crocuses, and then beautiful sunshine for a 2 days. It has been crazy weather around here, but I have to say I'll take freezing temps, snow, and blue sky over 40 degrees and raining, which is what we are back to now...yuck!



Cassidy continues to practice her walking...she's doing really great and the flames on the "baby legs" she's wearing are fitting. She loves when Chad and I are in different parts of the house so she can walk back and forth. She's carrying toys now and I'm thinking soon will be dropping those hands down.


She also got her first trip to the park this week, on the "transition day" between winter snow and spring rain. G'ma O met us there and shared in the fun. Cassidy had a good time climbing around and watching the other kids, but her favorite thing hands down was the slide. She figured out how to move herself down and would get the biggest smile! It was great to watch!




Today we were at a good friend's Birthday party for her now 2 year old. There were lots of little ones, most around 2 years old, running around so I got a good glimpse into our future! It was a good fun and Cassidy didn't seem to be too intimidated, she was walking around and showing off with the best of them! Happy Birthday Pacal!

She's Got It!

Cassidy has been working hard on her walking and has come a long way....more than 20 steps at a time now! Not only that but tonight she mastered the skill of standing on her own, without pulling up on something. She was so proud of herself that she was making herself fall just so she could stand up again and giving herself a round of applause. I love listening to her belly laughs and giggles.
