Miss Mia



Miss Mia

This time three years ago we were leaving your beautiful country and flying to your new home to start our life as a family. You are the brightest light to enter our lives. Your daddy and I feel like we have always known your sweet little soul. You have taught us more about love and life and family than we ever knew was possible. You helped us heal and continue to bring us so much joy.

You are growing so fast but continue to keep that extra thoughtful part of you that worries about where bugs will sleep at night and if Maz's boo-boos will be okay. You're hilarious, fiercely independent and beautiful all wrapped up into the greatest gift anyway could receive.

Happy Gotcha Day...my love

I think this work thingy is going to work

I was very hesitant about working out of the house again and taking a job that would require travel and some long hours but I have to say I didn't realize how much I missed being in the thick of things until I went back. I was made to work. Period. I thrive in entrepreneurial crazy environments. I'm lucky enough to work with very thoughtful and bright people. Dennis has been telling me over the last year, you need to go back work full-time in an office! I've tried the stay at home route and the work remote route. They both had benefits and disadvantages. I'm so glad I was able to spend the time that I have with the girls and the fact they have been able to spend over a year together everyday. I know people struggle with both sides of the debate. But, for me, I'm happy. It forces me to really focus on the girls with the time that I do have and it seems to be working.
