Introducing Our Daughter Natalie

Photobucket
Natalie's referral photo.  I'm guessing she was about 12-14 months old at the time of this picture.
We are SO Happy!!!  More details to follow very soon.

:-) So happy for you guys. She's adorable. Her expression reminds me of Willow's serious expression in the first photo I saw of her. Hope you have a beautiful weekend with Gary preparing for this wonderful new chapter in your lives. xoxoxox Bonnie

Congrats Charity & Gary,

You all are gonna be the best parents ever and this little girl is just so fortunate to be coming into such a great family (isn't that right Katie & Louis?)

Hope that your transition to parenthood is smoother from here on and happens quickly!

Remember to take lots of pictures to share (and because they do grow up quickly)

I am so happy for you! I remember vividly when I saw Kristy's picture for the first time. She is now nine years old, but the memory is as clear as could be. You have so much joy ahead of you!

Oh my! Popping in from RQ to offer our most joyful congratulations on the "official" paperwork arrival of Miss Natalie. She is such a beautiful blessing and we're thrilled for you. And I have to say, she's going to have so much fun with your two adorable Newfies--especially Katie. Our five year old daughter was completely enamored with Katie's pink bows... Happy congratulations to all.
