Smile Dose of Mia Rene: Mia Says The Pledge

Hey everyone!

If you have been around quite a while, you remember the "Daily Doses of Mia" from this dad who ached for his wife and daughter while they were in Guatemala. Now my daily doses of Mia start early in the morning when she comes to wake us up and they end around 9:00 when she kisses me good-night. However, for those of you who haven't seen her in a while, I thought you might like to see my little princess again. I mean what's one more picture right?

So without further ado...Mia Rene at her 3rd birthday party last month. Oh and there is one of her first day of school.

PS. On the blog right now there is a post called
Guatemala Adoption Blog - Mia's Pledge: The Voice Of A Princess

Mia learned to say the pledge and of course I am amazed. If you go to that blog, I've uploaded the audio of her saying it. Of course it's one of the cutest things ever (but hey at least I'm not biased right?). Click on the above link for the article.
