Shelly's daughter Ava and Cassidy got along great. They were instant pals.

Since I was sent to Orlando for a training meeting for work, we tried to make a vacation out of it. Shelly (a college roomate and a friend from growing up) lives in Florida so she and her family drove out to see us. We went to this cool garden and just hung out. It was so good to see her - she's one of those friends that you just pick right up with even when you haven't seen each other in forever.

We love feet and shells in our family. I couldn't believe how many shells were on the beach in this one section. I took some home for the bigger girls as a souvenir.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It is just so cute. Cassidy and Dad looking out into the ocean. It was weird to not have the other girls with us while we were in Florida. Cassidy got a lot of undivided attention. AND the girls got a lot of Nana time - which usually means being spoiled.
