4 Years with Mia!

Whew! I can't believe that it's Friday already. It has been a crazy busy week, but the highlight was celebrating Mia's 4th Family Day on Monday. We had her choice for dinner, watched the movie that I made about about our journey to Mia and then, we gave her one of the gifts that we purchased while in China. It was a wonderful celebration for our family!

First School Picture

Mia has been waiting forever to put a school photo in the frame in the gameroom that had been "Reserved for Mia's 1st School Picture". Her big day finally arrived! I have never seen a kid so excited about a school picture!

Sick Day

We have more photos of Mia sleeping in odd places and in odd positions. She is usually non-stop, but when she crashes, she goes down wherever she is at the moment! She got sick yesterday morning and was not herself all day. After lunch, I found her sleeping like this in the game room. I let her sleep like this for about an hour because I knew if I tried to move her, she would wake up and not go back to sleep. She really needed to rest, so I let her alone.

I created this layout using Sarah Barber's kit called Pink Hope. Sarah is donating all proceeds from the sale of this kit to her local Cancer Resource Center.
