Cass turns 7!

We wanted to take a moment to recognize our Queen for the Day. Cassidy turned 7 today. There was one fleeting moment when I sat back and looked at her and could still see the bald little round headed baby looking back at me. But she's certainly not our baby anymore. She is growing into an amazing little individual with interests that are all her own. Specifically she loves horses and astronomy/science related things. Neither Brian or I excelled in the science department so we can only conclude that this is not genetic (although her grandfather and aunt ARE both in the medical field, so who knows?). For her birthday this year we went Candle Pin bowling and then out to eat at the restaurant of her choice "T.G.I. Friday's". (We think it is because we went there LAST year and she remembers them singing to her and bringing her a sundae with a candle.)

Her big gift this year was her very own telescope, a solar system mobile, sticker glow-in-the-dark stars and a checker board (she LOVES checkers right now and is asking to learn to play chess). We look forward to future late nights of star gazing, playing checkers (and eventually chess) and listening to her educate Kayla on planets and stars when they should be sleeping. Cass, we LOVE you so very much and are so grateful that you are a princess in our family. Happy Birthday pretty girl! (Note: her birthday party with friends will be on Saturday, so there will be more to post then.)
