Cassy Fiano

Hi everyone! My name is Cassy Fiano. I was born in Jacksonville, Florida. My husband and I met when we were twelve, at a birthday party where he fell on the pool deck and broke one of his front teeth. I worked in several different fields until I got married. My husband and I knew that we wanted to have a family and that when we did, I would be a stay-at-home mommy. Last July, we found out I was pregnant, and on the day of my first doctor’s appointment, he deployed to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, during my pregnancy, I ended up with preeclampsia. Luckily, my husband returned the morning of my scheduled induction, so the day he came home from Afghanistan was the day we went to the hospital. 16 hours and a c-section later, we had our beautiful little boy, Benjamin. Being a parent has changed my life. I’ve learned to be more patient; that it’s possible to operate on two hours of sleep, and I’ve also learned that I never really knew what stress was until I experienced a baby crying inconsolably for four hours straight. I’ve learned that looking at my son sleeping in my arms can move me to tears, that I never really loved anyone the way I love my him, and that all of the hard times can be completely wiped away with one little smile. The last four months have been an incredible journey, and I can’t wait to share the rest of it with you!

Putting Things Back Where They Belong

I guess she thought her empty sippy cup would go well here.

You know how some people are neat freaks and some are chronically messy? I wonder if that was a part of their personality that they were born with. Have they been that way all their lives because of an inherent gene?

I question this because I have two daughters that are complete opposites when it comes to putting things away. Saioa, at such a young age, is very good about keeping things tidy. She loves putting her toys, shoes or anything else that’s out of place….. back where it belongs. We can’t help but think that …

Where There’s a Will

I’m not talking about the powerful trait that most children possess. I’m talking about the legal document that helps take care of them in case anything should happen to you.

It’s something that Kevin and I have managed to avoid for all this time, the entire four and a half years that we have been parents. It’s certainly irresponsible of us, I know this and I’m not making any excuses. It’s just that…. the thought of us not being here to raise our children is a thought that we don’t like to entertain. I can’t fathom it. Even harder is the thought that someone else would have to care for our …

Future Paparazzi?

Isaak's Photoshoot

Do you ever wonder if the personality traits and interests your kids exhibit when they’re little will translate into what they become as an adult?  I do.  I think about it all the time.  I think Jakob will become a Marine for sure.  Kora I’m not completely sure yet, but I know she’ll be something that requires a TON of confidence.  Miah is going to be into motor sports, something outdoorsy for sure.  Gus is a little too small to tell just yet, but Isaak?  Oh yes, I know what Isaak will be.

Isaak has a SMALL obsession with taking pictures and by small I …
