hi...

just in case you are wondering about mia, she had a big week last week. she met her great uncle jim and her great aunt susan from maine... we missed our roadtrip to see margie and lulu in milwaukee... because mia and papa caught a bad cold the day before thanksgiving. she is getting better now and learning how to dress warmly for her first winter.

Our Trip to St. Louis

Mia and I went to St. Louis to meet our family. It was such a good trip. We are really fortunate to have such a great and supportive family. Mia loved meeting everyone. Molly hosted a party for us on the McGrath side and it was great to have everyone together. The Bono side of the family got together a few times during the week as well. Enjoy the photos...

Mia met Lily at Starbucks. They had so much to catch up on since they got their ears pierced together in Guatemala. Mia has since changed her earrings to pearls. I have no idea why she wanted pearls...
