Mia with snow for the first time. It was a wild

day with lots of snow. The last time it was

like this was 3 years ago. Rick and I had talked on

the phone but we hadn't been on our blind date yet..

I love this one. It's hard for her to stand with shoes on.

She HATES shoes and it's my fault because I never

wear them either. I can't wait for her to get to kindergarten

and throw a fit about wanting to be barefoot! Oh I hope it

doesn't get that bad!!

My friend Ashleigh and her mom

made this beautiful tree just for Mia.

I love it and I think I will put it in her

bedroom( when she gets one) every year

at Christmas time. I don't know who

reads this but my friend Ashleigh is also

beautiful if anyone knows of anyone :)

Mia has a little chest infection so we

get to do this 3 times/ day which is

hard for an 8 month old to sit still.

So she has to be holding my cell phone

and she fell asleep on her dad- he's the

only one who can calm her down...
