Today we took Cassie to Apple Hill. Grandma and Aunt Marion joined us and we had a great morning of picking apples, riding a little roller coaster, playing in a mini jump house, and visiting a petting zoo!!! A good time was had by all but especially Cassie who even got to ride her first pony!! There are new pictures in the gallery of it all!!

Lately, Cassie has been saying new words and even surprised us by saying “Hi Daddy” her first put together words! She has also learned to feed Lily her dinner each night. They love to play together and Cassie giggles a lot while Lily chases her through the house when she has Lily’s toy. She loves going to the park and has begun to go on the bigger kids slide now. She can finally ride on the rocking dinosaur she got for her first birthday and is painfully cutting some new teeth. Last weekend, on a bike ride with Mommy, she saw her first big horse in person and up close! Her favorite book is “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” and she points to the spider on each page and says “pider”! She says “andma” when our phone rings now and even picks it up saying that because it’s usually Grandma calling. Chris and her have fun playing a little animal game he has made up for her where he finds animals in a book and she has to go get the little plastic ones she has of them. She is pretty good at it! Lastly, at daycare she found the black diamond in a game they play for the first time. When I asked what that meant I was impressed to find out that they hide a shape with a different color each day and ask the toddlers to find them and this past month was the first time she did!!
