The last 4 months...



In the 4 months since Cassi's birth we've had a lot going on. Ben was offered an amazing new job with a valuation firm and he graduated from college! I'm so proud of him! Ben was also accepted into the U of U Masters of Accounting program and consequently will be starting it part-time in the fall. Yay! We are so fortunate that they started a part-time MAcc program at the U this year. It is the reason Ben will be able to stay at his job. 

We have been learning to be parents, and I truly mean learning. I was scared to even hold Cassi for the first few weeks, though since I had to hold her constantly I eventually got over that. Cassi struggles to gain weight but she's doing better and better due to supplementing, and she recently developed some cute fat rolls for the first time!

We got to go visit my mom and sister a couple weeks ago so Cassi saw Arizona for the first time - my favorite state! It was such a fun trip and I think Cassi loved being so warm all the time. 

We've had so much more go on but since I have to type this one-handed while holding Cassi I'm worn out! I'll just sum it up by saying we love, love, love, love, LOVE being parents and we are so happy. I feel so lucky to get to stay home with our sweet little girl every day. She is amazing and I adore her!!! I'll post again soon!!

A happy Cassi!


Ben propped Cassi up to watch basketball with him. She loves it!

I try not to let Cassi watch much TV, but here she rolled over so she could see the TV!

The blessing dress is beautiful. Julie did a great job. Trips to see family are so much fun, it's a definite vacation for parents because they just want to hold the baby, yay! Is she the first on your side?
