Visit with Dave, Denise and Ethan

Last weekend, we had the opportunity to visit with some friends of ours who we hadn't seen for a few years. Nadya and I got a chance to catch up a bit with Dave and Denise, and Mia got the chance to meet Ethan. The trip was great, and involved lots of playing, some mall shopping, a fun children's museum, great places to eat, and an occasional check on the NCAA men's basketball tournament. We're looking forward to planning another visit soon.

Heavy Metal Rules!!

And she has never even been to a concert, well unless you count Trans Siberian Orchestra, in utero. Ronnie James Dio would be proud. Bring on the Karaoke Revolution!!

Mia's Trip to Florida

We recently returned from a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Z's house in Port St. Lucie, FL. Mia did several things for the first time, including swimming in the ocean, crawling more than just a step or two, riding in a golf cart, and other fun things. She really seemed to love the warmer weather (and so did mommy and daddy)!
