I remember when Natalie was born and how scary it was to be a parent for the first time. I don't know that there is anything that can truly prepare you for the magnitude of that responsibility. You really just kind of have to learn on the fly.
In saying that, I don't mean to diminish those who have provided an example for us, our own parents. I am grateful for what my parents taught me and as the second of 8 children I got to learn a lot about working with my younger siblings. Even then however, I was still not prepared in every way and there were a lot of things that I needed to learn as we proceeded.
Well guess what - I continue to learn on the fly today. LIfe is filled with all kinds of new experiences, each of which of will bring us closer as a family.
