Bonus points when the post includes photos of your adorable girls AND a product recommendation (I'm going to go buy that sweater. I love it). <br /><br />Sorry about all the sickness. Here's hoping that you don't come down with anything! That's the one thing I hate about fall...the sicknesses always start.<br /><br />Everyone around me seems to be pregnant and/or giving birth as well, but it seems as though my baby fever is starting to fade. I'm still trying to work through what this means (although I think I know)!<br />Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096840325414426054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218711469711643458.post-43028110137810857392012-08-07T15:26:06.302-04:002012-08-07T15:26:06.302-04:00That picture of Sophie sleeping on you is heart-me...That picture of Sophie sleeping on you is heart-meltingly adorable.<br /><br />It's funny, because Gabbie sounds so much like Andrew and Sophie sounds so much like Will.

We finally finished a couple of flower beds and planted a whole row of peonies (my favorite!) along our fence. Next up? Tearing out an overgrown bed and building a patio for al fresco dining. <br /><br />It seems like we always have a project going, which I'm sure you can relate to, but at least it keeps things interesting!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096840325414426054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218711469711643458.post-38984643205527876262012-04-03T18:29:19.591-04:002012-04-03T18:29:19.591-04:00I love this post so much.

I have so many pictures of Andrew that look exactly like that. <br /><br />To this day, I still don't know if my eyes will stay crossed if I cross them too much. So I just don't cross them. ;) (See also: Will my eyes pop out if I sneeze with them open?)<br /><br />Have fun with Gabbie tomorrow.

As for Joe and me, we're about 90% sure we're done...but not because we don't want another baby, necessarily. It's more for practical and monetary reasons. I'm at peace with that and my family feels complete, but every once in a while, I think about having a little baby again and get that...procreational twinge. (Wow. That's a good phrase. TM!)<br /><br />I think the no-plan plan is the one that lots of people are on. If we do, we do. If we don't, that's fine too. <br /><br />But as cute as your girls are, and as cute as my boys are? It feels almost like a sin not to just keep going, you know? ;)Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096840325414426054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218711469711643458.post-66256527813240232432012-01-31T18:42:30.475-05:002012-01-31T18:42:30.475-05:00Oh man, sending you lots of hugs.

My best friend recently started a Marathoner-in-Training program, and I'm sort of jealous of that too. I'd love to find the time for something like that. But then I think: is it really that I don't have the time, or that I'd just rather sit on the couch in my PJs and read a book? Probably a little bit of both. :)<br /><br />I'm glad you're all feeling better now. I was feeling awful on Friday evening, but it turned into absolutely nothing. I'm not complaining...It was just odd.<br /><br />And I know what you mean about making time for friends. That's definitely one of my goals for this year -- nurture the friendships I have, and make more of an effort to make new friends too.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096840325414426054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218711469711643458.post-14581929150527069902012-01-03T18:59:06.075-05:002012-01-03T18:59:06.075-05:00I LOVE your resolutions.

Joe and I have different issues, but I can see how this strategy could improve our communication with and/or our attentions towards each other. <br /><br />I also agree that children are such a huge stress on a marriage. It's true that their needs are more important right now; I guess the trick is to find a way to get through this tough stage together so when we do come out the other side, we still like each other. If that makes sense.Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08096840325414426054noreply@blogger.com
