Mio had some very special visitors this past weekend  — her Auntie Megumi, Auntie Sam, and Uncle Matt came to meet her for the very first time on Sunday! The last time we were all together was at the gorgeous baby shower that they threw for us before Mio was born. Megumi lives in Southern California now, but we’re so glad that she was in the area so that we could all come together again!

She loves Auntie Gumi!
Mio loves Auntie Gumi already!

Mio with Auntie Sam!
She loved Auntie Sam, too! Look at that big smile!!!

She likes him!
Matt was a little scared of holding her, but she loved him too!

lemon cupcakes
I baked some lemon cupcakes for the occasion!

It was a nice balance of sweet and tart flavors, and my favorite part is the lemon cream cheese frosting.

Thanks for coming to visit!
Mio with Mommy and her visitors!

Megumi, Sam, and Matt have been so loving, sweet, and generous to Mio even before her arrival! I’m looking forward to all the future memories we’ll have together, and feel so lucky that Mio has such wonderful aunties and uncle that will be there to watch her grow. Thank you so much for visiting us this weekend! Hope to see you again soon. 🙂
