A year ago today we learned of Mia. Born June 25, 2006, weighing only 4lbs 2 oz. My how things have changed! We NEVER thought we would have brought her home almost 2 weeks ago. At the time we thought she would be home by Christmas or at the latest in January. We have since learned to trust that everything happens in God's timing and that we can't hurry him along, as much as we would like too. Mia turned one yesterday and we had a small celebration. No big party, as we don't think she's ready for big crowds yet. She really likes her Leap Frog Lilly she got from Auntie Sarah & Uncle Scott. She also likes her doll house Grammy & Pa got her. When it came time for her cake of course she was all about the frosting! She ate it like a lady for awhile, using her spoon, but then just dove into the bowl.

Look at me I'm one today

The pretty birthday girl

Yeah, I get to have cake and ice cream!!

Yum!!

What a mess!!

Zoila (Mia's Foster Mom) also sent her an email wishing her a happy birthday. (How sweet☻) Zoila continues to battle her cancer and has 8 rounds of chemotherapy scheduled. We ask that you continue to keep her in your prayers. Today we celebrate the miracles that God has done for our family in the past year and the miracles that will be done in the upcoming year!
