Daily Dose: Mia Dares You Not To Laugh

Hey! I know it's been a while and I apologize for my absence. I come bearing a gift...smiles (and maybe even laughter). I know how hard those things are to come by for many of you on the weekend so check it out.

I am "interviewing" Mia on our iMac the other day when she goes into a giggle fit. Watching herself on the screen only made it worse. All of it was caught on video. Then later on, I clipped it and put it back together for a short video (1min:34sec) GUARANTEED to make you smile It is amazing as I sit and watch this video over and over to imagine that Mia has been home 2 years (this month). Those of you who have been around long enough or have read the story on the Guatemala Adoption Blog, know the journey we walked to bring her home. Watch this video as an encouragement that it IS worth ALL you WILL endure to bring your baby home.

Warning: Severe chuckle warning ahead

Just Laugh: A Video By The Mia <-- Click There

By the way, leave us a note on YouTube letting Mia know you were there. She loves to read notes from others. Also, rate the video if you want too!

And yet another 'oldtimer' who misses those daily doses of Mia!

She is just cuter than ever, and got my daughter and I both giggling too! Thanks for sharing her with us!
