Saying Grace

Saying grace before a meal is our way of being vocal about the blessings on the table. Sometimes it's quick in our haste to pick up a fork. Other times it is long and ceremonial around a holiday. Most days it's usually Matt telling God on our behalf how thankful we are. Tonight was different.

We still sat down. We still held hands. We still bowed our heads. But this evening before Matt or I could utter a word, Cassidy took it upon herself because she felt it was her turn.

"Dear God, thank you for our food in this meal and our many blessings. AAAAAmmeeen! Yay!"

It was the most adorable and sincere thing...

She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

The Weekends

The weekends have a new meaning to me now.  Saturdays are the perfect day because I get unlimited access to Cassidy. During the week I have to share my time between work, chores, tasks, and more. Sunday we have church and prep time for the week. But Saturday is magical. Saturday is for adventures in the park and incredible views in the mountains you can only reach by foot. Saturdays are for sleeping in or getting up early and making a big breakfast. Saturdays we sometimes stay in our pajamas, and others times we get all dressed up for no reason. On this particular Saturday Cassidy and I met up with some friends at church for the first End of Summer Fair. We had a good time...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!
