Hannah loved opening the door and looking out at the "Snow"...which she can now say!

SnowStorm 2010


I have been meaning to get my blog up to speed for the last week or so....So, here goes! A few Saturdays ago I went with some great friends to watch "Leap Year." We had dinner at O'Charleys, headed to the movie, and then spent some time at Barnes and Noble socializing. It was great to have a Girl's Night Out with such sweet, genuine, and fun-loving women. Thanks for such a GREAT time girls! Hannah Claire turned 16 months old January 19th, and she has officially mastered climbing up on all the great room furniture. She is so proud of herself when she does this, as well as receives lots of cheers from her Big Sis too! I can't believe how fast 16 months has passed, but most of all I can't believe how much joy this little blond haired girl has brought to our family. Even though she keeps everyone on their toes, yes, she is like a human tornado most days (meaning she can drag out more stuff in 3 minutes that I can put back in 30 minutes), I still could never imagine my life without her in it! I remind myself often as I am constantly picking up behind her...that this stage will soon pass...and I am going to miss it. Then, we were all struck by the SnowStorm of 2010! We watched the storm come in from Uncle Adam and Aunt Emily's new home surrounded by great family, food, and friends. With this came lots of sledding and snow fun for Hallie and Daddy at Uncle Marty's and Aunt Steph's. This snow is the first big snowfall that my girls have seen, so we tried to enjoy it as much as possible. We built "Mrs. SnowWoman," drank lots of hot chocolate, and most of all enjoyed spending time with friends and family. Last week we spent lots of time running to basketball practices, playing makeup games, and on Friday Hallie got to help Cousin Macy celebrate her 6th Birthday! Well, this pretty much sums up the last few weeks at the Cassady House. I am looking forward to Spring...flip flops...flowers...and sunshine!

Sounds like you all have been busy. I saw you last night at McDonalds but I was returning a redbox movie in my pjs! HA. I understand the climbing phase as little Brooks just tonight climbed on top of the kitchen table and over into his high chair in a matter of 2 seconds. Boy they are fast. I understand the picking up phase as well, hopefully this too shall pass. I can't believe both our babies are getting so big.
