Enjoying this week of Indian summer with a dip in the pool…
I love her squeals of delight while splashing in the water!

Spinning with Daddy
Dan was spinning Mio round and round in various ways, and was having a hard time keeping up with her… but in the end, found the best solution to tire her out without getting exhausted himself!
Never too many…
Our little girl is growing up so fast, before our very eyes! She barely had any hair only six months ago, and now her curls reach her shoulders and are long enough to sweep up in a ponytail. She’s turning into a strong, independent little lady, and it’s a wonder to watch. Sometimes, I curl up with her in my lap, nuzzling my nose into her chubby cheeks and close my eyes, trying to engrave into my memory the image and feeling of how small and sweet is right now — but it’s only a matter of seconds before she wriggles away and runs off.
At times I wonder if I take too many pictures of Mio, but I don’t think you can ever take too many. When she is grown and gone, these photos and videos are all I’ll have to remember these moments by. No matter what she’s doing in them, I will look back on and cherish each of these photos forever.
So with that reminder, I pick up the camera to capture even the most seemingly trivial of moments…
Autumn in Virginia
The leaves in the neighborhood have really been changing color in the past week, and has been reminding me of how much I missed autumn on the East Coast. My mother and I took Mio for a stroll around the neighborhood today to admire the beautiful fall foliage…
An Evening with Girlfriends!
On Friday night, a bunch of my girlfriends from high school got together for dinner and dessert at Julianne’s new Arlington home! It was a nice get-together to both welcome me back to the area as well as to celebrate our friend Mimi’s birthday and recent engagement. I hadn’t seen some of the girls in over a year, so it was so great to come together and catch up and what’s been going on in our lives. Everyone’s been undergoing really exciting changes in their careers and personal lives! π Special thanks to Juli for hosting, organizing, and for taking the following pictures!
Thank you also to Dan for watching Mio that evening so that I could have a lovely relaxing time with my friends! π
