It has been a busy week!  We went to lunch at O'Connell's Pub on the 17th with Dad, Mary, Dawn, and Allison for Dawn's birthday.  We love fun lunch dates!  Here are a couple pictures, but Dad was able to get better ones. 

Tonight I stripped Mia down since I threw her laundry in the washer, and she was being cute playing with her toes.  Maizy came over to hang out with her, as usual.  Maizy is so good with her, and as you'll see in the video, sometimes TOO good!  She is very affectionate!

Later that evening Keith and I took Mia to the doctor because I had a feeling something was wrong... turns out she has her first ear infection.  We hope it's her first and only!
