taken by my Aunt Denise last week
Mia is exactly 3-months old today. Time is just speeding by. There are volumes I could write about what a sweet gentle happy soul she is who brings so much joy. I mean look at that face! ... and her baby smiles? *sigh*
These first few months adjusting as a foursome have been a continuous lesson in letting go, adapting, adjusting and wonder at how much our hearts are truly capable of expanding. But for today we will celebrate her 3-month birthday with fireworks on our deck and summery strawberry-basil aqua frescas in our bellies. Enjoy your holiday!
Strawberry-Basil Aqua Fresca: Combine in a blender plenty of fresh strawberries, a good handful of basil leaves, a bit of fresh mint, crushed ice and sweetener of your choice to taste(we are going to try some brown rice syrup and a bit of agave nectar). Blend. Pour. Garnish with strawberry and mint to make it pretty. Clink glasses and toast to something beautiful. Drink. Smile. Yum.
happy birthday to your sweet girl.
