Monday Morning Mia

On time this week!
We have returned from a short trip to visit the Grandparents in CT this weekend. Mia and Walter both had sleepless weekends but recovered once we returned home. We are slowly learning that we CANNOT interrupt the bedtime schedule or we will pay. Ah, to be at the mercy of an almost eight-month-old.
This coming weekend is the third annual chili cookoff at our friends Grant and Amy's home. Last year Ben captured the title from Grant and is hoping for a repeat performance. We've been eating "test" chilis for weeks now and Ben thinks he might just have his secret ingredients all settled. We will update on Monday with the results--fingers crossed for Ben!
Yesterday we had family photos taken in Arnold Arboretum. We just did a short mini-session. Hopefully the photos will turn out nicely--it was a bit dark, but the leaves are almost in their full glory in the park and Mia really knew how to work the camera. Hopefully all of the dog hair on our sweaters will be edited out. We'll post links to the photos once they're up, assuming we can do that.
The photos above were taken on the new swings at our local park. Mia and her best friend Isabella can sit back to back in the swing, which is huge amounts of fun for both of them. How cute are they??
Have a wondeful week!
