Twelve

Twelve years ago today Natty Sue Bug came into the world and my life.  What a tremendous blessing she has been and is.  I have been thinking a lot about her recently and I remember the night we took her home.  We had a little one bedroom apartment in Las Vegas out in the Spanish Trails area of Spring Valley.  She was so small, so prescious.  Her mom was exhausted after a rough stay at the hospital and so I let her sleep and took Natty that night.  I could hold her in one hand.  She was so small, so beautiful and just this perfect little person.  I remember just laying there on the couch with her laying on my chest.  It is amazing just how full of love you can immediately have for someone.  I was a little nervous, a lot excited and full of gratitude for this miracle of life. 

As Natalie was my first I immediately noticed some things that I had never noticed about infants before.  She had her own little personality right from the start.  She has always been a very determined little girl and so full of life.  I remember her baby blessing and getting up to share my testimony.  In it I referred to her as a little Turkey.  My goodness those were some fun times. 

Well Natty Sue - It has been 12 amazing years.  You make life wonderful.  Thank you for all that you do in our family.  You  have been a tremendous help to me and a strength in my life.  I am grateful for you and the blessing that you are.
