Heart tr2 has been home a year...

thursday was Mira's 'gotcha day' 'family day' 'together day'....i havent decided what we'll call it yet.

anyhow,

she is such a fun and cute little girl!
we are so blessed to have her as our daughter,
and
her brothers marvel daily at how smart and funny she is!


Here is a little update on her little daily happenings.

Little Mira...
loves to wake up her brothers.
Is a Mama's girl.
will yell DaDa at the top of her lungs when he comes into the room.
likes to eat talapia, broccoli, and chicken nuggets.
thinks Swimming is the Most Fun activity if all times.
and
will join in with the 'big kids' and ditch the toddler set every time!
she is tiny (12 month clothes still) but mighty! she'll pinch any big kid (and the occasional parent ) if she does not instantly get her way.

she is so much great!
and cracks us up all day long!



mira had her first camping trip this weekend!
what a way to celebrate being home a year!


here are some recent pictures...
the first one with her brothers was taken thursday afternoon!
a year after they met her.

thanks for sharing our family's joy!

love,
Mira's family (aka cris)

Cris, she is so adorable! It looks like she does have her brothers, as well as her mama and dada, wrapped around her little finger! I cannot believe that it has been a year already. I remember seeing pictures from your visit trip of the mysterious tr2!

Mira sounds a little bit like the princesa too! Thanks for sharing your 1 year anniversary and the cute pictures of your darling children with us!

Hi Cris,
Congratulations on your beautiful family!!!! I was picking up my daughter with you at the Westin 1 year ago! I do not know if you remember us....My daughter's name was Ava Maria. Dh is Ryan and I am Leigh from Texas) I remember meeting you and your beautiful daughter at the pool. Anyway, congratulations again! We also celebrated Ava's Gottcha Day last week. Isn't amazing how quickly it goes once they are home!

Take Care!!!! & Congratulations Again!
