Catch-up

As I'm sure you can tell from the time between posts, its been to long. So many things have been things have been filling the time, where to begin...

Summertime flew by so fast. We did find a nice way to spend some quality family time together, going to Lake Geneva. Mia definitely enjoyed her time at the beach, from swimming and jumping off the pier to building sand castles. We are looking forward to going back next year. Mia also learned to swim this year at her Aunt Tammy's pool. Whenever we would go there, she would turn into a fish!! We cannot believe how long she can hold her breath. Mia would jump off the diving board and either swim to the ladder or to the shallow end, which is about 15' away.

Mia is still taking dance lessons at Steps To Grace Dance Academy. She is learning tap & ballet this semester and will be moving up to the next level this spring. I can't get over watching her do the different moves or even just making up some little routine around the house. Dance has become such a wonderful experience for Mia as well as for Brandy & I to watch her become this amazing ballerina.

Probably the biggest thing for Mia this year was starting kindergarten. She love's it! Every week Mia is so excited to tell us about her new job that she gets to do for her class like handing out snack milk or her favorite, feeding Pumpkin, the class guinea pig. She has been doing very well in school and loves her teacher. She just finished up learning how to roller skate. Mia is off now for Christmas break which brings us up to speed....
