Hello again!  Well, we're finally having some gorgeous weather!  Its about time!   We've been taking advantage of the nice weather... we went to Buhl Park one day and to the playground in Hubbard yesterday and had a picnic and then the kids played.  Marissa and Camryn love to be outside, playing on their swingset and walking around. 

Camryn's learning new words all the time now.  Lately her newest ones are Bear, Duck, Bib, water and I think she finally started trying to say Marissa's name... she was yelling "Ra Ra" at her the other day on the playground.  Marissa is kind of a hard name to say, so we kept saying "call 'Rissa... where's 'Rissa?"  and then she was saying Ra Ra.  How cute!

Yesterday Marissa had her Kids Fest at the mall.  Her dance class performed there and it was so cute!!  She did two numbers: the ballet one was to "Reflection" from the movie Mulan and the tap number was "Animal Crackers" from that one Shirley Temple movie. They have one costume, but it has an added tutu for the ballet number, which is nice, because we only had to buy ONE costume instead of two.  Here's a couple photos of Marissa at the Kids Fest program:

The girls did great for their dance routines!  We were so proud of Marissa!  She looked so beautiful out there! 

Here's a couple pictures of the girls at Buhl Park from earlier this week:

Marissa also had her "Daddy's Day" at school this weekend.  She was very excited for Daddy to go to school with her!  They had lots of fun!  They played games, made an art project, played with playdoh, sang songs, and had a snack. I still can't believe her preschool year is almost over!  They usually finish up a week earlier than regular school, so she will graduate from preschool in the end of May.  It seems like she just started!!  Sheesh!

Well, that's about it for us!  We'll post more soon!

Love,
Kelly, Rich, Marissa and Cam
