Back to Work

That sounds way worse than it really is! I did go back to work this week, but only for the last two days of the school year, Thursday and Friday, to clean up my classroom and make sure my grades were turned in. Now Joe and I are free until mid August! Mari's Grandma Betty babysat for the two days (with afternoon help from Grandpa David) and they all had a blast. Marisol even started walking with the help of her little car (next post)!



Everything is going well and we're starting to make plans to make it out to New Mexico and California this summer so Marisol can meet the rest of her family. Marisol is eating well (beans and bananas--but not together--are her favorite foods) and is sleeping all night, most of the time. The last two Sundays she's gone to church with us and has done very well in the nursery. She's referring to us as Mama and Dada, which just makes our hearts melt and is getting more comfortable (too comfortable?) with the dog. She head butts him and tackles him, but he's mostly really patient. She does offer him her toys, which usually ends with us chasing him around the house to get them back before he destroys them.

Here are some more pictures of her this past week.
