Happy October

With the rainier season and shorter days approaching, Mia has had to learn to become more introspective. She can now read by herself up to 15 - 20 minutes without stop.

Mia just got her very own pet spider, thanks to her very crafty mommy, Heidi Crafty

here's the pet spider up close, the astute viewers may recognize the shape of the spider to be H's hand, but shhhh, don't tell Mia

here she is, complete with a black cat, and a spider, ready for Halloween

big love, when M wants to show her love, she puts her face next to your face :)
