The Swim Goddess...

This weekend was a hot one! With Frank & Sandy visiting, we spent the better part of the weekend lounging in the pool. As you can see, Mia commandeered the pool chair and made like Cleopatra! Very fitting for the Princess...

The Midget Supports our Troops!

This weekend Frank & Sandy drove in from San Diego for a visit. Frank is about to head off to Iraq for his 5th Tour as a Cobra helicopter pilot for the Marines! They were great with Mia and she had so much fun swimming and playing Wii all weekend... Mia, as well as Mommy & Daddy, are very thankful to have such brave warriors protecting our country and wish Frank a safe mission and a quick trip home!

Momma's Medal

Mommy ran in a 12k while in Napa Valley this past weekend. Not only did she do amazingly well, but she brought home a medal for the Midget. Mia has been running around the house showing her pride in Momma!

Always Thinking Ahead...

As you're all well aware by now, Mia is obsessed with cruising around the house in her car. Well, to be precise, obsessed with having Daddy push her around the house in her car... Anyhow, Mia, being the ever so practical midget, has taken to placing a snack cup and water bottle in her trunk in case she develops a flat tire and gets stuck on the side of the road, er hallway?! She really is amazingly observant, and mimics everything she sees... As you may have guessed by now, she's the best!!

Momma's Home!!!

Boy did we miss our Momma! Here is a picture of Mommy catching the Midget up on her oral hygiene since Daddy may have slipped a bit while ensuring the basic needs were met... We sure had a great time together, but we're glad to be a family unit again! We love you Mommy.

We Miss Momma!

This weekend Mia & Daddy had their first true alone time! Momma went to Napa for 3 days with Christine & Megan to run in a race and drink some good wine. Here is a picture of Mia cruising around the house and wishing Mommy was around to entertain us... In all seriousness, we've had an absolute blast. Several trips to the pool at the Club and a visit to Russell & Sascha's didn't hurt any.

This is Daddy's first experience of being completely responsible for Mia morning, noon & night. It's extremely tiring, but incredibly rewarding. Every minute spent with the Midget is a minute spent doing exactly what we should all be doing with our lives... Loving, laughing & living! Nothing is more rewarding.

Who Me?!

Mommy made Daddy tear out all the grass in the back yard and replace it with synthetic grass, aka lawn carpet. So what was the first thing Mia did to the new lawn carpet? Yep, she dug out cups full of rocks and dumped them on the lawn! How precious. This picture was taken when Daddy asked little Mia if she was the culprit... Who me?!

Cruisin...

Mia likes to take Mary Bear for a ride on those hot afternoons when she's stuck indoors! We're petitioning the BMV to try and get an exemption so that Mia can get her drivers license a little early. Like maybe by 18 months...
