Dentist

Since we moved, we found a new dentist for Mia. Pediatric Dentistry has changed since I was a kid! Mia can watch TV/Movies while the dentist does his work. And, she was cavity free so she's in the "no cavity club".

A new look

A missing tooth and glasses!! She favors the frames below but wears both....usually whatever pair she grabs in the morning is the choice for the day.

New School - St. Matthew the Apostle

Kindergarten here Mia comes..... Here she is on her first day of Kindergarten at her new school, St. Matthew the Apostle

This is Mia and Ms. Molly, her teacher.

And, here she is with her new classmates (Lindsey and Megan) and the aide, Ms. Katherine.

Mia lost her 1st tooth - August 6th

Mia lost her first tooth! It was hanging by a nerve so I tied dental floss around it and pulled and pulled and pulled until it finally came out. She cried at first because she had blood in her mouth but that was over quick when she saw her tooth hanging from the dental floss. She was SO excited that the tooth fairy was going to come that night.
On the phone calling EVERYONE and I mean everyone to tell them that she lost her tooth.

Here's the tooth....

And, what the tooth fairy gave her for her tooth.

Very proud about the hole the tooth left...she kept putting her tongue in it!

Baytowne Wharf - Sandestin, Florida

The Grand Sandestin

We stayed in The Grand Sandestin for our beach vacation this year and celebrated Grandma's birthday! We all had a GREAT time. The condo was just the right size and was very nice...thanks Kathy J. The Baytowne Wharf had SO many things for us to do. We were never bored! We had great weather all week and Mia had a blast swimming, playing at the playground, painting pottery, bungee jumping, fishing, feeding the fish, shopping, at the beach....I could go on and on. She looked forward to every night because they would shoot fireworks and we had a great view from our balcony.

Father's Day

Mia had a great Father's Day along with her dad, Ryan, Pa, Uncle Mike and Uncle Ronnie.

High School Musical 2 Poolside at Cross Gates

Cross Gates Athletic Club showed movies by the pool during the summer. The kids could swim in any of the 4 pools while watching the movie or sit in a lounge chair. They served a variety of food/drinks. Mia and Kaitlin wore the same bathing suit.....the twins....and it was not planned!

Ryan went fishing the same day....
