Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from the craziest, kookiest kid in town! Who just also happens to be the most adorable child to grace this planet with her presence... We wish you all a prosperous new year and can't wait to share more pictures of our midget's progress. Thanks for your support and kind thoughts! Mazeltov.

Mia Takes Tokyo!

Tell me this doesn't remind you of an old Japanese monster movie?! Mia is obsessed with her new train table and apparently decided that wings would help her to build a better track... There is no end to her cuteness!

Car Chick!

Mia is a huge fan of Daddy's old cars! She insists on hanging out in the garage, playing in the tool boxes and climbing around in the cars. There is no doubt of the depth of Daddy's love, evidenced by the fact that Mia is actually allowed to climb around in Daddy's cars! Here she can be seen preparing for her first drive in her 69 Camaro. After taking a few laps around the neighborhood she recommended Daddy add Nitrous...

Uncle Jesse!

At Mia's Great, Great Aunt Betty's 100th birthday party, she was very excited to see her Uncle Jesse! And no, we weren't reliving the Dukes of Hazzard. hee hee. Mia loves the 'Big Guy' and gets very excited whenever he visits...

Teddy Bear Tea!

Momma took Mia to 'Teddy Bear Tea' at the Ritz, along with Nancy & Madi and Karin & Rhea. Mia loved getting her picture taken with Teddy and enjoyed a proper cup of tea! Our little midget is so refined... Can't you tell? This picture was taken right before she snuck up on stage during the live entertainment!

Wife in Training!

I've got to hand it to Momma, she's doing a fantastic job of training our little Mia to make a great housewife some day... Now if she could just pick up the pace a bit on this whole potty training thing! I'm not sure we can marry her off while she's still in diapers. Hee hee

New Tricycle!

Aunth Cathy sent Mia a shiny new tricycle! The midget is still a touch small, but that didn't stop her from giving it a go... In fact, she couldn't even wait until Daddy was done building it to climb aboard and try peddaling away! Mia is a very luck girl. All of her Aunts, Uncles & Grandparents sent amazing gifts... Can someone say 'spoiled'?!

Mia Hendrix!!

Mia got a lot of great Hanukkah & Christmas presents this year, and has been playing non-stop for days. In fact, on Christmas day she wouldn't even nap... However, this guitar that Mommy picked out sure has proven to be a hit. When Daddy plays classical guitar background music on the Ipod, Mia pulls up a stool and plays along! Everyone likes to think their child is prodigy, so who knows, but she sure does have a penchant for music. Put her anywhere near a piano or guitar and she just has to make music! Let's just hope she can sing better than Mommy & Daddy!

Mia's Diner!

Grammy & Poppa bought Mia a 50's style diner complete with a kitchen / malt shop on one side, and a diner with booth on the other! She is endlessly fascinated with this midget size restaurant and insists on taking all her meals in her booth now... Adorable!

Happy Hanukkah!

Mia loved her first night of Hanukkah gifts and enjoyed saying the Hanukkah Prayer! I'm pretty sure she thought she was going to be getting some birthday cake after she saw the candles being loaded up... Happy holidays to all.

Gear Head Mia!

Much to Daddy's delight, Mia has shown a real penchant for tools & cars! In fact, Mia throws a fit when she can't join Daddy in the garage to dig through the tool box and pretend she's working on her tricycle, or climb around in the old cars... So what could we do but buy her a tool chest of her own?! Mia has been drilling and hammering for hours! We're hoping this will lead to a moto-cross championship by age 5. By 'we', I mean Daddy!

Tubby Time with Daddy!

Daddy was feeling a little tired last week so he decided to take a bath. Of course the Midget decided that she needed a little tubby time as well!! Much fun was had creating make believe beards and hats with the bubbles... There is nothing in the world like quality play time with our little angel.

Hanukkah Glasses!

Mia is busy preparing her Menorah for the fast approaching holidays! Of course she had to don her Mr. Potato Head glasses to get a better view... She has become quite the silly child. Loveable as hell, but silly!

Poor Little Angel...

Our little angel was sick this past weekend and needed some serious Momma love! That made for a special day. In fact, we made all sorts of exceptions. Mia got to watch several hours of the 'Wiggles', which are her favorite thing on the planet at the moment! She also got to have juice, which is usually off limits... Take a look at that sad little face in the photo and you'll understand why we did whatever we could to cheer her up. Poor little midget...

Stunning Beauty!!

On Sunday Mommy & Mia were both feeling a little under the weather, so Daddy drew them a nice bubble bath... Then Daddy captured the most stunning picture!

Adoptee Honoree Luncheon!

On Saturday the FCC honored recent adoptees, which meant Mommy & Mia were the guests of honor at The Golden Bhudda! It was a beautiful event, and Caryl & Abigail were in town for the weekend, so they joined my girls. Mia not only loves Chinese food, but is completely enamored with chop sticks... Look at these stunning women!

Holy Nakedness!

All of you parents can certainly relate that to children, nakedness is next to Godliness! Well, if that's the case, then we've got one seriously religious little girl... Nobody enjoys running around butt naked quite like our free spirited little freak of a child! Tubby time is nothing if not a time to parade around shaking that bootie.
