Preschool here I come

Mia started her first day of preschool on Wednesday, Aug. 20.  She's going to First Baptist Academy and she'll go on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 to 3, which is the longest she's ever been in school.  Last year, she went to a cute little Montessori school in the heights two days a week from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. She seemed to enjoy her first day of her new school, particularly her new uniform.  Oddly, she was excited at the thought of having a "nap" time at school.  She actually kept giggling about it and saying, "why will i sleep there - how silly."  Her good pal Quinn is in her same class.  Quinn is the little girl who shared a nanny with Mia for her first two years...then they went to the Montessori school together and now they're at First Baptist. What a trip they are together!  Those poor teachers have no idea how much chaos our sweet girls can cause :)

Just L-I-V-I-N'

That's what the girls have been doing this summer - just livin'.  Here are some recent favorite shots.  I mean seriously, can I go back to being a kid b/c they know how to have some serious fun....like spending a good hour building a castle out of cups. 

or getting SO excited to be in the tub....

or monkeying around at the zoo...

or hanging out with your sister!

Fun on the Frio

A couple of weeks ago we headed to the Texas Hill Country for the Mir family's annual vacation on the Frio River in Concan, TX.  We had a beautiful house this year which had an amazing deck that looked over the river and the hill country. 

Since I had my hands full I didn't take many pix when we were actually on the river, my mom took care of those, so all the pics here are from the deck.  Here's Mat and Mia enjoying smores!  YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! 

And of course since we were out of the city - there were trillions of stars out each night and Mia loved star gazing with Popo and Buela.  It's so relaxing out there - such a great time, as usual!
