Natalie LOVES fish in any form.  We couldn't get her to stop eating long enough to tell us if she liked it.


Louie is such a good sport...truly the most patient dog ever!

Party at the Little Gym

Natalie recently attended her friend's 3rd birthday party at the Little Gym.  She had a wonderful time and showed more confidence and strength than when she attended a party there 6 months ago.  It feels so good to watch her playing happily with other children and learning to make her way in the world.  IMG_1574 photo file-152.jpg

She has come so far from the 21 month old child who could barely walk a little over a year ago.

A Chilly Marathon Day

Marathon Day was a cold one this year, so we didn't stay outside long enough to take many pictures. We gave encouragement to a few hundred runners and then left the remaining thousands to complete their run without the Newfie /Natalie cheering squad.  Natalie had a great time clapping and yelling "Go Runners!"DSC06550 photo file-161.jpg

Japanese Quince and Chinese-American Beauty

As I was cleaning out my closet today I found an old skirt that I decided to make into an impromptu dress for Natalie.  Using a ribbon and a few safety pins Natalie was soon wearing her new princess dress.  Gary thought she looked so pretty that he did a quick photo shoot in front of our Japanese Quince.
