Can't get enough of this....

Kassidy has been spending more and more time with Daisy. It's like all of sudden she realizes that Daisy is here...and I'm so glad because Daisy LOVES her so much!!!

She is EXTREMELY protective of her and it's so sweet how patient she is when Kassidy plays with her!

It's probably been a month since Kassidy found her feet, but all of a sudden they've become a new fascination. Josh and I have decided that as long as she has her burp cloth, her feet, some paper, and Dragonia (her dragonfly that my college friend, Kelli, gave her), everything will be just FINE!! Who needs toys you actually pay money for when you have those things?

When Kassidy caught the smiling bug last month, it hit big!! She now smiles at EVERYTHING!!!

I swear we could tell her we're gonna toss her out of the window at high speeds and she'd smile! Here's a quick little video of us having a smiley session at home in bed :-)

ENJOY!!!!

Kassidy's First Visit to Our Summer Home

This was a fun weekend for our family. Josh and I absolutely love the Biltmore Estate, so we packed up Kassidy (and her 5 tons of baby stuff) and headed to Asheville. We walked thru the house (you gotta do that anytime you visit) and then had lupper at The Bistro. Kassidy really seemed interested in all of the shiny objects to begin with, but after awhile it was obvious that she'd had enough. She settled into her daddy's neck and fell asleep. We walked through the Winery and rode down to the new Antler Village. On the way home, Kassidy slept about two and a half hours...what an exhuasting day for the little girl :-)

She tried to catch a bumble bee buzzing by her...

thank God she wasn't fast enough!

There was a whole field of sunflowers...wish Grandma was there to see them!

Ooh, so this is Grandma's favorite flower! It's pretty...

Isn't this what all Daddies are for?

He's wrapped so tight around that little pinky!

Can you see the sweat dripping off of us? YUCK!

She's so entertained by the beautiful sights, I mean, by her paci.

Daddy's girl

Happy Birthday, Dad!!

Today was my day's birthday...August 9, 1939. It's hard to believe that he would have been 70 this year and even harder to believe that he's been gone almost a year. Where does the time go?

In honor of Dad, I thought we would do some special things. Here's my plan:
A) Go to church and thank God for the years we had with Dad,
B) Go out to lunch and have a celebratory birthday dinner for Dad,
C) Tell Kassidy some hilarious stories about her grandpa,
D) Have a Publix cake and remember who got us started on them in the first place (thanks, Dad)!!

I'm sure he would approve of all of those things, especially us telling Kassidy about him since they never got to meet. I can't wait until he gets to hold his little princess on the day we're all reunited in Heaven!!

Happy birthday, Dad!! Miss and love you more than you could ever imagine!

NOT FEELING SO GOOD...

Well this weekend isn't starting off the greatest...

On Thursday, Kassidy woke up very sick (I'm talking projectile vomiting) so we went to the doctor. She was wheezing and coughing, so they gave her a breathing treatment and told us that she had an ear infection because of the drainage. So we ordered a breathing machine to use at home, bought the $75 medicine to use in it, and started doing treatments every 4-6 hours. Come to find out later, she also had a viral infection and guess what....Mommy, Grandma, and Daddy all got sick!!! Thank goodness for the fact that there are 3 bathrooms in our house...just enough for everyone to have their own :-)

I'm really disappointed because we had plans to grocery shop, go shopping, do the 127 yard sale (world's longest one spanning 600+ miles) and relax for awhile. When everyone's sick, even relaxing is off the table. It's not relaxing to run to the toilet every 5 minutes....

Please say prayers we feel better tomorrow and maybe we'll get some things done after church!!!
