Tying Up Some of the Loose Ends....

Well, Hi, again everyone! I guess after my VERY successful last post (5 comments!!!!) (ok, so one of them was mine, but that's still a lot for this blog), I guess I should come up with a smashing follow-up. I mean, really, I haven't had that many comments since Greg and Beth predicted the gender and first initial of my daughter!!!
So, I guess I'll post a couple of pictures of Karissa, who by the way turned 3 months old yesterday. She is generally a pretty happy baby, and lately has taken to cooing happily and is able to be sat in her bouncer seat or swing for awhile without complaining. She has also started playing a little with toys while Renee is holding her and the ones attached to her bouncer seat. She also seems to really enjoy pooping all of her cute outfits. (the plain, ordinary ones she leaves alone) She also is smiling regularly and LOVES any attention she gets, at least from us.
So, without further ado, here she is!
Sitting in her bouncer seat on the table.... And all dressed up for church last Sunday Morning.

In other news, I have finally finished Super Mario 64. I got very frustrated at the camera and Mario's being very unsteady on his feet at times, but overall, I really enjoyed it. I managed, with the help of the official Nintendo Power strategy guide, to collect all 105 of the power stars that Bowser stole to take control of Princess Peach's castle, along with the 15 secret stars, and finally (at least for now) banished Bowser from the Mushroom Kingdom. Depite the issues with the camera and Mario causing me to be sorely tempted to throw that unwieldy N64 controller across the room repeatedly, I felt a great sense of accomplishment when I was done. Hopefully the next Mario game I play will be as good.
I have now started on Rayman 2: The Great escape, which hopfully will be at least close to as much fun. So far, I'm liking it. :-) I guess time will tell.
Well, Renee is outside and Karissa is getting fussy, so I guess this post will have to end. Stay tuned! (all three of you)
