Wrapping up January

Well I jinxed it in my last post. I thought I would be catching up before our busy summer started, but alas, I'm back to being MONTHs behind. Somehow gets harder and harder to have those free moments with the two kids keeping us on our toes.

Back to January.
One of the fun things we did with our good friends, the Noymans, was a stay-cation at a Holiday Inn 20 minutes from our place with an indoor water park. Not a huge one by any means, but a couple of slides and a swimming pool. It was our little (afordable) getaway in the middle of winter. We got adjoining rooms so we could be together as much as possible during our one-night stay.

Cassie was almost 8 months and her buddy Gabriel 6 months. They play every day at daycare and apparently Gabriel thinks it's so funny when Cassie crawls all over him. He better not let that become a habit! I can see Miss Cass taking advantage of that one. ;)

A little pool time with our water baby. It was actually a bit chilly though so she didn't stay in too long.

A fun picture of Taylor and the indoor pool area. They made it look like a twilight Venice scene.

It was a fun trip with some eating out at restaurants and fun hotel-room jumping on beds. Without all the hassle of traveling far and packing too much! We will definitely do it again sometime. Perhaps for TWO nights next time.

To wrap up January, here are some fun miscellaneous photos of the girls.

Classic Cassie face. I seem to remember Taylor making a lot of these faces too though.

Always wanting to reach out to things with that mouth! Love those big blue eyes too.

Ta-da!

Some meal-time fun visiting Great-Grandma for her 91st birthday!

Cassie and Taylor wrestling with Grandma. Not sure who's winning...

It just makes great-grandma's day when she gets to see those great-grandchildren. So many to love and snuggle!
