I Love My Nat-Bones

Natalie was born 22 years ago today. She came into the world on a hot summer evening. We drove her home from the hospital in our new red Hyundai. (We still own that car!) I was so excited when the doctor announced that she was a girl! Every mother wants at least one, and I scored a daughter on my second try!  She was a quiet, peaceful baby and toddler and a very shy child. She made up for that when she was a teenager.:)

Natalie has grown into a lovely woman, sister and wife, and now is a mother with a daughter of her own. Shortly after she was married Bryce called and said, "Who is this girl? She's not the sister I was raised with!" She has many personal strengths such as her peaceful nature, acceptance of others and patience. She contributes with the cooking and cleaning when she is at home. I really appreciate that about her.
