Hi Everyone! We will be posting pictures and new events on our new "Blog". What is a blog you ask? Well, we don't even really know how to describe it. You simply publish pictures and information and you, the viewer, can comment on what you see on the "Blog". So please write us anytime!
Mariel is doing great, and Mom and Dad are getting accustomed to having her here. The wee hours of the night are filled with feedings, poopie diapers, and sagging tired eyes, while the days are filled with naps, more poopie diapers, more feedings, and then more naps. :)
She's awesome though, and she's permanently taken up about 99.9 % of my, and Eric's heart. We love her so much and love sharing her with our friends and family.

We'll keep posting pictures so that you can see how much, and how quickly, she is growing!!!
Love from the "Dickerson" Family... Eric, Allison, Mariel, and our pets...Maya, Nala, Moorey, Emily and Annie.

Dr. Clark delivered Mariel (she's really enthused about getting her picture taken)
