Marisa and Mike are both sleeping right now. It's been hard to find time to post to the blog, and when there is a chance...I'm too tired! Mike got sick from something he ate yesterday. Please pray for him; he's been miserable today. Marisa is doing well considering all that she has been through in the past 24 hours. There have been many tearful moments, like tonight when we gave her a bath. She's also getting some new teeth so that has added to her distress. However, she is smiling and laughing already- which is much sooner than what we experienced with Kieran. She babbles and interacts with us; of course we are smitten with her! I read a board book to her that has texture on the animals, like faux fur. She was fascinated and rubbed the fuzzy spots on the pages. We are having so much fun watching her discover new things like that. Another new experience for her was dinner. Our group was desperate for an American meal this evening, so we had McDonald's. Marisa loved the fries and the burger. She's officially an American now. :)
Time to get some rest. We're still waking up crazy early, like 3 am. We are looking forward to getting home and back to a normal schedule.
