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.
