2013 Year In Review

2013 will go down as a great year!  

January-the best and biggest surprise of my life, I found out I was pregnant with our third baby!  

February- don't remember much, very tired and sick!  First saw Jack during an ultrasound and was pretty sure I was looking at my baby boy.  

March-we took a little family trip to Wisconsin Dells.  The girls had fun swimming and going on the water slides.

April-found out we were going to have a baby boy!!  

May-snow day on May 3rd!!!  We went to Peoria for Race For The Cure.  Always fun to do it with family!

June-Addison graduated from Kindergarten!  Molly got her tonsils, tubes and adenoids out.  

July-Another trip to Peoria.  We rented a cabin just past the cities.  It was a fun and relaxing week for our family of 4!  

August-time spent with Grandma and Grandpa England!  Always a good time!  We are lucky we get to spend time with them each summer!  

September-birthdays, new school for Addison and I (Bamber Valley), soccer and Jack's arrival on the 20th!  

October-maternity leave!! Birthday trip to the Mall Of America.  More soccer.  Another trip to Peoria so everyone could meet Jack.  Merida, a puppy and a jack o lantern for Halloween!  

November-the whole family came up to Minnesota for Thanksgiving!  It was so nice to all be together again for thanksgiving!  

December-time spent together over Christmas  break!  Relaxing and enjoying each other!  

We hope you have a blessed and wonderful 2014!!!  

Merry Christmas!

Three Months Old Already!

Tomorrow this big guy turns three months old!  

Pure Joy

Christmas Tree!

We picked out the perfect tree yesterday, chopped it down and brought it home!  The girls did all the decorating while Jack and I supervised.

My Big Guy

Love him!  

Santa

We went to Santa today!

Thankful

So much to be thankful for this year!  

It's Great Grandma Hill's Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!  We love you!  

Happy Birthday, Great Grandad Hill

Hope your day is great!  We love you!  

Oh Miss Molly!

Three is such a great age!  Molly is very imaginative, silly and does not stop talking!  It has been fun being home with her!  

Love!

                          My heart!

Playing Outside

It was pretty warm this weekend so we were able to play outside for a bit.  We woke up to snow today so who knows if we will get to again without snow on the ground.  

Smiles

We love seeing Jack's smiles!  We are getting more and more each day!  

Happy Birthday, Grumpy!!!

We hope you have a great day!  We love you!  

Addison

Oh my little, Addison!  She is getting too old too fast!  She worries about her hair, what she is wearing and being the best at everything!  Not sure I am ready for this stage but here we are!  She still is a little fashionable diva though!  

6 Weeks Old!

Our little guy is 6 weeks old already!  It is going too fast!  Still a great eater and an ok sleeper.  He enjoys the swing and snuggling!  

 Trying to get him to use a nuk or his thumb.  This day he was using both!  

Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday we headed to the pumpkin patch.  We have gone for the past couple years and look forward to it each year!  Our favorite is the corn maze.  It was a little difficult pushing the stroller through it but we all had a fun time!  

Neil and I commented how last year we would have never thought that we would be bringing a baby this year.  Jack is such a blessing!  

                    How tall this fall?  

                    Daddy and his girls

I am really going to miss this....

I only have three weeks left of maternity leave.  :(

I am going to miss our group naps!  

Peoria

We ventured to Peoria last week so Jack could meet everyone!  We had a great time and Jack was a great traveler!  

Mona Molly

My Molly Moos

Love this girl!  Such a big girl!  

Our Boy

Big Sister

Addison and Molly have been very helpful with Jack.  Addison likes to babysit Jack while I put Molly to bed.  Tonight she wanted to hold him on her chest!  So sweet!  

I'm Not Tired, Mama

Molly was pretty crabby yesterday.  I told her to go upstairs for a bit to chill out.  When I didn't hear from her for a few minutes, I went up to check on her.  Guess she was just a little tired!  

Apple Orchard

We went to the apple orchard with Ali, Reid and my mom today.  We got some apple cider, apples and pumpkins.  Jack slept most of the time.  

Hanging Out

We spend most if our days hanging out.  Molly has been to daycare twice this week and I think she enjoys going and getting away from us for a while!  

Can't believe our little guy is a week old already!  He continues to be a good eater and an ok sleeper.  :). 

Jack

Love this guy!  

He's Here!

Our baby boy has arrived!  

Jack Neil Cassidy was born at 5:04 pm on Friday, September 20th.  He weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 1/4 in long.  He has a full head of hair (yes, I said hair!).
