Home and FINALLY posting pictures

Hi everyone. We came home with Miss Miriam, "Mia" on December 23rd and she and her big brother are keeping my really busy. She is doing great with the exception of sleeping (she is up 4-5 times a night). She is happy, healthy, teething, and crawling backwards. Thanks for letting me share a few pictures.
