It seems just like yesterday that we were so happy and thrilled when we found out we were expecting our 2nd child! We had waited a long time for both our children, and each one was a separate miracle. Natalie has been a joy and a blessing to us and to so many others. She is fun to just hang around with and be with. She is talented; she is a quilter, awesome cook, organizer, and one of her best qualities is she has great faith and gratitude and appreciation of all her blessings. She has a very kind and giving heart and truly cares about others. She is a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend neice, etc. She has always been a great example of finding the good in everyone and everything. Happy Birthday, Natalie! We love you....Mom and Dad-

ReplyDeleteIt must be those great gene's she has because she still looks 20. She is so beautiful...inside and out. Hope your party went great....
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you so much for this little birthday tribute! I haven't seen some of these pictures for ages. I am so happy to be 30 and to be at this point in my life. Thank you for always being there for me, mom! I love you! The birthday dinner was delicious, by the way.
ReplyDelete**Do you know how tempted I was to login to your blog and delete that 3rd grade pic?? But I'll swollow my pride and embarrassment, and let it slide. Don't we all have an ugly 3rd grade pic somewhere in our past?**
