Who let the monkeys out?

Cake #2

Cake #1.  M asked for a "big, huge monkey cake".  And that is what she got!

Just monkeying around!

"Happy Birthday dear Marissa..."

A little R&R with Cousin Catalina

What a beautiful day!  Mid 70's, sunny and warm!  Thank you to all of you who made Marissa's birthday and her party so much fun and special.  We had a great time and hope you did too.  We missed those of you who couldn't come, but know your thoughts were with us.  Enjoy the pictures!

Easter

Concentrating!

Can't I just drop the egg in the coloring?

Pretty eggs by Marissa!

"Money?"

Marissa had lots of practice finding eggs this year, after participating in 3 egg hunts. As you can see, she had a great time!

3 Going on 16!

M is 3!  Hard to believe it.  She is in consent motion and always talking.  M's current growth stats put her in the 15%-tile for height and weight.  She is 27 lbs and 35.5 inches tall.  "I'm not concerned, because at least she won't be contributing to the national obesity problem." (Exact words from our pediatrician in reference to her size.)
