Natalie Comes Home!

Our journey to adopting our daughter from China. A hundred years from now it will not matter what size my bank account was or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different, because I was important in the life of a child.

She WALKS!

Wow! We knew it would happen any day now, just after dinner outside she started walking back and forth to me and my sister. First two steps, then three, five and then ten!! Wo hoo! so excited.

The Most Powerful Word


Natalie has learned the most powerful word a toddler can say: NO!

She now has 6 teeth on top and 7 teeth on the bottom including cutting in 2 molars.

Summertime fun!


Flight to Vegas! With her furry sparkly bag and everything. This girl is ready for the casino, fun and sun!

Natalie is 16 months! Woo hoo!


Natalie is enjoying her summer by learning to walk and drink like a big girl. She LOVES the water. She says so many words and phrases now, I can't keep up. Some are unintelligible, yet consistent, so I know they mean something. She also says Thank you! All Done! and can count to three :).
