Cassie's 1st birthday

Wow, a year has flown by too quickly. Cassie will be 1 this Friday. We celebrated her birthday a lil' early on Sunday. A few snaps follow. I did well, no tears, until I went to bed last night...and then the tears came! All happy tears, of course. Its just that a year can go by way too quickly, when you see the BIG DIFFERENCE of bringing a helpless baby into the world to watching her smile, laugh, feed herself, play, talk and finally, start to crawl. So many first...so many still to come.
AND...you feel a lil' guilty doing things a lil' smaller scale compared to the first child. Not because there is a greater amount of love. You love your children equally, its just that with two kids (and a dog!) and working and a farmer husband, well...your time diminishes quickly.
Awe, Cass, we love you with all that we have...and feel so blessed that we have our lil' girl to complete our family! Happy birthday to you!

Awe, happy birthday to Cassie Ann. Her personal cake. The guest were happy to know this wasnt the only cake to be split by everyone! :)
