Mio is getting a lot of love in Virginia from not only family, but a lot of her Mommy’s friends, too! 🙂 Here are some of the wonderful people Mio has had the pleasure of meeting the past few days — she is such a lucky girl! 😀

On Friday, my best friend Debbie came to see Mio.

Debbie brought Georgetown Cupcakes! I finally got to try them, and they were amazing.

Our family friend had a baby in February, so we had a playdate with their daughter Junna-chan on Saturday.

Today, Mio and I took the Metro to visit our friends Lan and Mie and their adorable sons! I forgot my camera so I couldn’t take many photos, but here are a couple that I took on my phone.

Mio is so lucky to be showered with so much love while we’re back East. We still have a little over a week left in Virginia, but we’ve already had so much fun making great memories with everyone here.

An Afternoon at Lake Chabot

Last Sunday, we spent the afternoon strolling around Lake Chabot with Dan’s parents. It was a beautiful, sunny day and we enjoyed some quality time with the family and got some exercise while walking for about four miles around the lake. (I couldn’t handle the full seven mile trek around the lake, even in flats….)

Now that it’s summer, we’re looking forward to getting out more and enjoying the outdoors with our little Mio!
