Thank You Grandma!

As you'll notice, we're breaking tradition here for the first time. This picture doesn't include the Midget! That's right, we actually took a vacation without our little Princess... Grandma (Barb) was kind enough to fly in to Phoenix and stay with Mia while Mommy & Daddy went to Napa to attend Crush Camp. This was our first official time away from Mia. In fact, we were away for three whole nights, for the first time ever! While the Midget had an incredible time with her Grandma, Mommy & Daddy missed her tremendously... We had a blast with Aunt Cathy & Uncle Ryan, and drank a lot of great wine, but we sure were excited to get home to the love of our lives! Thank you for helping out Grandma, Mia already misses you...

Daddy's New Receptionist!

After an exhaustive search, Daddy has finally settled in on the appropriate new Receptionist. She fits all the qualifications: young, cute and smart as a whip! Let's just hope those cowgirl boots don't leave any prints. We all know how Daddy is with his Windex!!

Happy Gotcha Day Anniversay!

It's hard to believe, but Mia has actually been home for over a year now! To celebrate her anniversary we went to the Golden Bhudda for dim sum. As you can see, Mia was scarfing down the peas like usual. We had an incredible time celebrating as a family and are so in awe of the progress she has made in such a short time. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but she's smart as hell! I realize nobody has ever heard me say that before... Plus, I'm a completely impartial observer.

The Princess...

It's official, the Princess has arrived...

MC Mia!

Here is our Midget giving her best Compton gangsta look! She has moved on from her shoe fetish and now loves hats and sun glasses as well. Tell me this kid isn't beautiful...

Dubman Visit!

Kenny & Kathleen flew all the way from NJ this past weekend with little Molly! We had a great visit and the girls had an absolute blast together. At one point Kenny & I were pushing the girls in strollers, side by side, and they reached out and began holding hands with each other while we were walking... It was amazing! Here are the Midgets partying down on Friday night.

FCC Waiting Families Event!

Stacy joined the board of the FCC (Families with Children from China) and has become very active. We recently hosted a 'Waiting Families' event at our home to let other couples who are still waiting for their children interact with some families who have been lucky enough to have already been joined with their kids. It's always interesting to meet others and hear of their experiences, and all of the little Chinese children are always so amazing! As you can imagine, Mommy did a fantastic job and hosted a spectacular event. Here are the hostesses with the mostesses...

Lazy Bones...

Yes, this is what our once pristine home has been reduced to... First, she takes everything out of the cupboards, scatters the Uno cards around the room, tears apart any other possible board games to be left for shrapnel, and then decides maybe she'll lay down for a rest! You gotta love this kid!
