Mila in Iowa

We are halfway through Mila's longest period of separation from her mama. We wish Marie was here with us, but the love and attention that Mila is getting from her grandparents is getting us through alright. Highlights of Mila's visit to Iowa have included hikes in Hickory Hill Park, playing in her great grandma's yard (and receiving a stuffed pug dog), a preschooler "funky blues jam" at the IC public library, the playground on the pedestrian mall, and Amish horses and hens out near Kalona. I am trying to shield Mila from the potential Animal Kingdom violence of my parents' miniature poodle trying to kill their African Gray parrot.
