Marisol: The Photographer

Marisol loves to take pictures herself now. Here is a sampling of her work :-)

Grandparents Visit and Cherry Blossom Parade

My parents were here for a visit last weekend. We went to the Cherry Blossom parade which was so much fun! It was a huge parade -- over 2 hours! Marching bands from all over the country, floats, huge balloons and more... here are some pictures. The last picture is a link to a web album -- they are mostly different pictures. I've never tried that before and want to see if it works...

The Business of Being Born

I just finished watching this AMAZING documentary called "The Business of Being Born." It was produced by Rikki Lake. It is very similar to the book I reviewed a while ago "Pushed". It examines birth in the United States and is very interesting (to me anyways!) I highly recommend it.

Here is the website:

It is on DVD now, and netflix has it -- that is how I watched it.

I'm back!

Ok, so I've been on a hiatus for about a month and a half now. I guess I just haven't felt like blogging for a while. I think about it now and then, but I have been in more of a reading mode now for a while (it drives Mike crazy!) Anyways, spring is starting to arrive here and with that a boost in spirits.
So with renewed energy I decided it was time to at least get some new pictures of Marisol up.

As I start this blog Marisol is watching a recording of American Idol. She loves that show -- that's my girl!

We bought Marisol new shoes about a month ago and the first day she wouldn't take them off -- She even slept in them! :-)

We took Marisol to her first "dance party" one weekend. It was an event for little kids and families. Unfortunately she had a stomach bug that weekend and she isn't really into loud music anyways. So we went up to the upper level where there were books, coloring and storytime. All things we could have done at home or the library for free... oh well! It got us out of the house on a weekend....

This was taken on Easter day.

Marisol reading in her chair in her favorite attire... nothing!

Marisol and I went on a little daytrip to watch my cousin Tristan play soccer. He's number 8.

Marisol took this picture of my Uncle Al. Not bad!

Future "ball" player :-)

Bath and bubble time fun with Nils.



Lots of kisses :-)
