Natalie's Birthday

Hey guys! I've been posting on Adiah's blog and decided its time to come back over here for a visit. Today my Natalie turns 9! Her last single digit birthday! I truly can't believe how fast this last year has gone. Natalie has really come into her own this year. She has always been a funny, sweet, loving girl but now its different. There is a maturing that has gone on and she is at a completely different level. This year she was on team in gymnastics and the confidence it gave her is amazing. I've seen that confidence spill over into other areas of her life too. Natalie is a good friend to everyone in her life. She is a great big sister too! She keeps things very interesting in our family with her silliness and drama! I wouldn't want it any other way. Natie Bug, Happy Birthday, sweet girl! Your dad and I are SO proud of you and who you are becoming.

Natly, Natie-bug, Little Bug! I just love you girl! You are an amazing sister, cousin, and niece. I can't believe our little Bug is NINE. It's just not possible. I remember feeding you one night when your parents went out when you were three weeks old and here you are, so mature, grown up, beautiful, talented, and hysterical. Hollyn adores you and Noah thinks your great! And of course, Uncle Matt and I think your pretty cool too! Have a great birthday!
