Silly girl.

In case you haven't heard....

Mia is going to be a big sister! I found out a few weeks ago that we are expecting a baby in early December. Pete and I are both a bit shocked but certainly very excited! I can't imagine loving another as much as I love Mia. Craziness.

I have plenty of photos to upload from the last month. Look for those soon. We had an amazing week with Lori and Michael in town. The pregnancy hormones had me a little choked up after they left...

Being knocked up again I hope will motivate me to update this blog more! Sorry I've been slacking. Ever since the diabetes, I haven't posted as often. I need to get off my butt. Hope everyone is doing well.

Good Times

Sweet pea.


I seriously can't get enough of this face.

Playing with her friend Ella.

Mia and Ella thinking their moms take way too many pictures.

Hanging at Rivercrest Park with Jessica's little girl Lia.

Mia is so happy to be over her cold!

Loving her snack trap.

Her favorite way to spend an afternoon - outside with Chili.

Feeding the dogs her goldfish crackers.

Gasparilla Art Show

Mia had an absolute blast at the art show. She loved dancing around outside, and just when she thought it couldn't get any better...

...Grandma and Grandpa showed up! Yay!

Mia looked like quite the little spring princess.

Olivia also had a great time checking out all the paintings, photography and sculptures.

Grandma and Grandpa brought the other apple of their eye, Aiden.


Pooped out after a fun afternoon.

Playdate in Orlando - February 23

At the end of February Keri, Olivia, Mia and I traveled to Orlando to meet up with some of our FSU friends and their kiddos. It was a chaotic, wonderful time spent catching up and chasing the children around. We've all come a long way since our Seminole days.

Nikki and her daughter Madelyn with Katelyn.

Christine showing Mia the teeter-totter.

Miss Olivia and Mr. Logan taking it all in.

Mia checking out the playhouse.

Somebody couldn't get enough of this thing.

Katelyn and Nora playing in the sand.

In limbo

I seem to have misplaced my camera port. I'm on a mission to find it because I have some really cute pics to share. Mia is feeling so much better this week. She is so awesome.

Wow. I need to update this thing more often.

We've been sick for approx. 2 weeks. A virus from Mars invaded our home and stole all the fun right out from under us. Mia had a fever, runny nose, cough, etc so I took her into the pediatrician - he discovered she also had an ear infection. She's still taking the antibiotics, and feeling a lot better already. Her diabetes has also been somewhat out of control as a result from all of this. We're still working on getting those numbers back to "normal."

I have a few pics I'll try and post tomorrow of before the plague hit. And hopefully we'll get out and do some picture-worthy things this week. I think the Pottery Barn Kids sing-along and Farmer's Market are on the agenda. Oh and gymnastics! We haven't been in 2 weeks.

And I just have to share - Mia, my 19-month old, can count to 10. I'm not kidding. She does it all the time for us. I need to get this on video. And she probably has at least 100 words in her vocabulary? Maybe 200? I can't keep count. The kid says ketones. Diabetes is NOT slowing this little one down.

Random moments from the last couple weeks

This is the right way to eat spaghetti and meatballs.

I found spaghetti down the back of my shirt that night.

At Ballast Point park on President's Day. I love her shadow!

One pic at the zoo last week before my camera died.

Another day at the Aquarium - we do lots of fun stuff!

Chasing the fish back and forth with her pig tails.

Valentine Playgroup

Last Friday we went to Jenny and Addison's house for a fun Valentines-themed party. Mia had a great time with all her buddies. Thanks J + A!

Trying to get 6 toddlers to stay still for a group picture - lol. Yeah right.

Mia loooooooved this cart.

Still trying for that group picture!
