Easter has come and gone!

I have really been bad about updating our blog, but it seems that I catch myself coming and going most days! Having a child is the most wonderful thing, but my life has been in a whirlwind since February 26, 2006! I find myself doing things that I would have never done before, such as forgetting birthdays and doing things at the very last minute.

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter! It was wonderful and busy for us! Marissa really got into the whole Easter bunny this year and loved hunting for the hidden goodies that the Easter bunny left for her! He brought her a kite, a Dora doll and Playdoh! We even had a windy day yesterday and were able to fly her kite at Mamaw's house while we were there to visit!

Marissa had her 3 year old check-up on Good Friday and the pediatrician was very pleased with everything. She was mostly pleased that this was not the same Marissa that was there the year before! This Marissa was calm (no tears!) and just so willing to do everything she asked. Amazing what one year will do! She was 30 pounds even and 35 inches tall. She is about in the 50th percentile in weight and under the 10th for height. Not surprising since her birth parents were 4'2 and 4'9! I'm sure she'll be taller than them, but I doubt she'll be playing in the WNBA! Ha! Marissa is really into Dora the Explorer, painting and Playdoh right now!

We have all been so sick (so many times!) during the past two months and we are looking so forward to spring and summer! It is officially spring, but it certainly doesn't feel like it!

That's our update for now and we appreciate everyone checking in on us!

Love,
Kristi, Phillip and Marissa
