Kassidy Turns 4

Well Kass turned 4 today! She is getting so big, I cannot believe that it was 4 years ago that I was a brand new mom, not really sure of what to do with a newborn. I have learned a great deal over the past 4 years from being a mom. I can even tell a will go right back to sleep cry and a I really need something cry in the middle of the night, as well as a low fever verses a major fever with just a touch instead of breaking out the thermometer just to check like I did when Kass was a baby.

However one thing never changes the fear of something happening to them. Today I revisited the hospital that saved both of my girls and it still hits me just as hard every time I go there. Today's trip was to support my dear friends Amber and Ryan while Madi, their daughter had her 3rd surgery to remove more tumor from her little body. We are hoping this will be her last surgery, the surgeons were very pleased with the surgery and expect her recovery to be short (only 2-3 days).
There are many people who are praying for her but she could always use more.

If you would like to learn her story her mommy has been keeping a blog:

The girls are doing great, they are enjoying school as well as our play days on Fridays and they are super excited to start dance class. They will be in the same class on Sat. mornings (daddy will be taking them since it is the same time as my training sessions with Team in Training). Kassidy had a great birthday on Saturday, even if it was raining ALL day. She was surrounded by 30+ family and friends and was spoiled with gifts as usual. Here are a few pics from the last month:
