A Glimpse


This summer came and left...
I'm actually sitting down thinking about all the different things that happend this summer; those good, those not so good and it makes me realize how valuable each and every day is.  I think about all the "new" things that Kassidy has learned to do in the past few weeks.  She's pulling herself up on the furniture, crawling, saying "dada", even trying to walk.  Mind you, she is only 6 months old.  I think of Baylee and how much she has grown up.  Her vocabulary is amazing and with such clarity, she explains out everything to me. 
 "Hey, momma, what you doin'?"  

I think about what our family has and is going through with the loss of my girls' uncle.  Such a sudden removal of someone so invested in their lives.  This loss makes me "wish" that they could have just a few more memories with their Uncle Jeff.  But then, my wish list would continue on forever.  This loss also makes me grateful for the memories they do have with him. 

My girls are incredible.  Each and every day brings out something new and better than the day before. 

Happy

Recently, we have been enduring uncharacteristically HOT weather here in Rhode Island.  So after a few consecutive days of over 90 degree weather, it was starting to take a "toll" on everyone's attitudes, especially mine for some reason.  Greg decided that it would be so much fun to get out of the air conditioned apartment and take a walk on the Cliffwalk with a hot, panting 90lb labrador, a sleepy two year old, and 5 mo old that just wants to roll around.  We pack ourselves in a car with minimal air conditioning and off we go to the Cliffwalk.  I'm sitting in the car, thinking to myself, "this is such a bad idea".  The whole 3 mile trip, I kept wanting to turn around and go back home, but then something happend in the back seat of the car. 

"PEEK-A-BOO!!" (giggles) "PEEK-A-BOO KASSI!!"  (giggles)

We park the car at the Cliffwalk and Greg and I pretend not to hear Baylee and Kassidy playing peek-a-boo in the back seat of the car.  These two girls didn't care if it's 100 degrees, they just wanted to have fun.  Immediately, my eyes began to tear up.  Listening to their laughter and joy for one another.  Happiness filled the car and all attitudes flew out the window. 

Needless to say, we had a good walk...

Sisterhood

Someday I want my girls to say,

"Mom and Dad, you guys are too cool!"

I know that may sound ridiculous to some, but I want my girls to have experience and enjoy our company as much as we want to be with them. Even in the past 4 months, I have seen a sisterhood be established between my two girls that makes me melt. From a simple hug and kiss at bedtime to the standing applause Baylee gives Kassidy when she rolls over, I know that the life that these two little girls will lead is not going to be an ordinary one, but in fact, an extra-ordinary one. You know that old saying, "no one sticks closer than a brother"...these girls are redefining that.

Spring has Sprung...I think

As you may notice, we are a little behind in our postings. Maybe due to the fact that there's a new little beach baby that has entered our family. On February 5th, we welcomed

Kassidy Jenae Rosinski into our family and what an entrance she has made. Not only weighing in at a healthy 10lbs 12oz, she has the most beautiful baby blue eyes. (Thanks Dad!) She is a true blessing and we are so thankful for her!...plus she sleeps through the night as an added bonus! :)

We also recently took a trip to Texas to see papa, nana, and the uncles. Baylee enjoyed her last free plane ride and Kassidy embraced her first...by sleeping the entire time. We had a fantastic time with family.
