Introducing our daughter.........

I haven't posted a picture of our daughter yet - I didn't feel comfortable doing so until she really was ours.
Well now - she really is ours!!!!
And since I am sure I will post loads after we come home I figured I might as well start now!

Introducing Marissa......
