I think this was by far Mia's biggest week in terms of excitement and different experiences. We started off the week by driving with Sam up to Eastern TN (while he went to a client) and visiting a very good friend of mine who lives right over the border in VA. Mia's first long car trip did not go very well. There was a lot of crying and a lot of pulling over but c'est la vie. She did great staying in the hotel and did great at my friends house taking in her new surroundings everywhere we went.
On Friday, we drove to DC for Mother's Day. By this time Mia had figured out that we were going to be in the car for a while so maybe sleeping was a good idea! We still stopped to eat several times but the car ride went much better than earlier in the week. The Heffernon, Funk, Tatspaugh gang all descended on my great grandmother's house for the weekend. It was truly a treat to have 5 generations of women all in the same house (from 97 1/2 to 2 months!). Sam set up a mini photo shoot to remember the occasion. My dear husband also order 2 dozen roses for each mother in house! So do the math and that is 8 dozen roses. We were all very surprised and enjoyed them greatly.
My cousin Jamie also came down to DC with my parents and hung out for the weekend. She was a natural with Mia and we are telling her either her calling is open a daycare center or have 5 children! Everyone was thrilled to spend the weekend with Miss Mia who is now much more interactive then the last time they saw her. There's nothing better than when she flashes you a real smile!
