Mia having Fun in the Sun

We are home and are ready to celebrate Mike's 1st Father's Day! The kids on vacation made this craft for all the Father's and included Mike. Our vacation was great and Mia had so much fun playing with everyone, going out on the boat, and hanging out in the pool. When we arrived home our neighbors were outside and commented on how tan Mia looked. Believe me it was hard work applying and re-applying sunscreen a couple times a day. Someone in our group had a really fancy camera and took some amazing shots of Mia out on the sand bar. He is going to mail me a CD with the pictures burned on them. I will post when they arrive.

On another note, Friday the 15th we celebrated Mia being on our lives exactly the time she was without us. We were joined as a family when Mia was 10 months old and she is now 20 months. Our Family Day was August 15, 2006.

ANOTHER MILESTONE!!!!

Stephanie came to visit us and we went out on the boat. Mia loves Stephanie and she giggles and laughs with her. We are so proud of her graduating in the top 10% of high school. She leaves for college soon and we will miss her so much. She will only be about a half hour drive away. So she won't be that far away!!

Beach Bum

I just can't put the camera down !!!

We are finally in Marco Island with Mia! We thought she would join us last year, but we didn't travel til August. Mia had her first boat ride and really enjoyed it. She ran all over the sand bar collecting shells. When we got on the boat she started to sing, "Row Row Row your Boat" it was so funny and everyone joined in to sing. We are having such a wonderful time and Mia is sleeping well. She was so pooped out yesterday that she fell asleep just before getting back. Mike was a little concerned about how she would react to the boat and all the bumps and she most definately has sea legs. It has been so nice for the "Marco Family" to finally meet Mia, they adore her.

MISO CUTE !!

I just had to share this! Aunt Joey (my best friend) sent Mia this t-shirt. It is so cute and looks adorable on Mia. She loves anything that shimmers and goes up to it and says OOOOOHHHH! I am not sure if you can see but this sushi has rhinestones on it! Thank you Aunt Joey : ) you are always so thoughtful!
