Today is Mia's third birthday.
(NOTE: No, I'm not turning into a Mommy Blog, so shut it already.)
Because Mia is adopted and it's her story, not mine, and because I respect the privacy of her biological family, I won't go into personal revealing details concerning her adoption but I will say that getting the phone call telling us she had been born was easily one of the happiest scariest moments of my life.
Like good old Tom Petty says, love is a long long road.
She's turning into such a bright beautiful little girl, very Gemini in her personality. She couldn't be more loved or wanted or happier.
Here's to you, Mia, with love.
And for the love of God, when are you going to learn to use the toilet other than for throwing my make-up brushes into?

Lisa, I just about fell off my chair when I read that one!
My son decided to pour my most expensive perfume into the toilet when he was that age. It sure smelled good, I'll give him that!
Happy Birthday, MIA!

Happy Birthday, Mia.
Now, for a gift, I assume you smoke "lights".

From one Gemini to another--Happy Birthday Mia. Oh--and Lisa, my nearly-two year old son also enjoys throwing things into the toilet. Thankfully it's usually something of his--a toy, sock or hat.

Happy belated birthday Mia.
I've seen a pic of you and you are adorable!
Here's to many more glorious birthdays!

Could she (Mia)be a little cuter? I'm guessing the pictures I scanned tonight for Lisa will bring an end to that question forever. LOL.
I'm so proud of my girls! I love my wife so much and my daughter just as much but with a humbleness I have never known. Lisa is the beauty of my dreams with the intelligence and poise and grace that I could only imagine as a mere mortal man.
Mia is so beautiful, there the words fail me. I have no words to express how I feel about my wonderful, sweet, and beautiful "Daddy's girl" of a daughter.
Jesus Christ himself would have to endure a background check and body cavity search before he gets any where near my little angel in the years to come! :D
