Cassie's 2 month stats and miscellaneous

To wrap up July we have a hodge-podge of pictures.

Here on some fun miscellaneous shots at Taylor's best friend, Olivia's birthday party on July 23rd.
The two of them are so close and really egg each other on when they are together. Al was able to catch some fun shots of the two of them running around.


Funny action shot of the two girls:


Sweet face that I hardly get a photo of. Taylor about to get some hand-painting done (she didn't want it on her face):

Two best friends, taking a stroll after a fun day at the park:

Later that same day, Al and I got to take off for a mini-getaway. For my birthday present (and Cassie's birth present) Al planned a night at a Bed and Breakfast in Hastings, MN (cute river town along the Mississippi) and concert tickets to see the Jack Johnson show in Somerset, WI on Sunday night. My mom and dad were wonderful enough to watch the girls at our place for Saturday night into late Sunday night.

To round out the weekend, we did some shopping in Hudson, WI (another town along the river) and even caught a matinee movie! Such an indulgence for us!

Thank you to my mom and dad for watching the girls for us. We were thankful that they both behaved and slept well while we were gone!

Here are a few pictures. View from the American Legion restaurant where we had dinner in Hastings. It was funny to say we had dinner at the American Legion on our romantic getaway, but the food was good, drinks were cheap and the view was the best in town!

Happy and relaxed parents!

Yummy breakfast delivered to our door at the Classic Rosewood Inn & Spa (built in 1880):

The weekend was only one night and one long day, but we felt rejuvenated and had such a great time. Amazing how fun and renewing it can be to travel just an hour away from home.

In other news, our baby girl Cassidy turned two months on July 30th!

Statistics:

Weight: 12lbs 1oz (80th %)

Length: 24in (95th %)

Head: 15.75 (75th %)

Funny enough, her stats are identical to Taylor's except she is one pound heavier at this age than Taylor was.
Here's a quick snapshot I took of our little munchkin on July 31st.

I went back to work in early August and it wasn't as bad as I was dreading. Things just seemed to get even busier with both of us at work. It's been challenging to get into the groove again, but both girls are doing so great. Cassidy is doing great at daycare and Taylor loves that her sister is at the same school with her. She even gets to go downstairs to visit her sometimes.

It's just amazing how quickly the days go by just doing the mundane things like laundry, washing bottles, making dinner, etc. No complaining from us though, we are truly blessed to have such wonderful daughters! We wouldn't trade this hectic life for anything.
