Mommy Brain

Her birthday was actually yesterday. I didn’t forget, it’s just that we’re having her party tomorrow night – Friday night being a much better night to have a best friend sleep over.

She turned 10 yesterday. Ten years old! I can hardly believe it. It seems like only yesterday….. Well, all you moms out there know how it is. I posted Natalie’s birth story last year for her birthday, and as I read through it again today it does not seem possible that ten years have passed since then.

Natalie is growing up into quite a beautiful young lady. She loves to laugh, she enjoys being all girl, and yet will get down and wrestle with her brothers. She likes to watch mushy movies with me – I’m so glad there’s at least one more female in the house! Just a couple of weeks ago she fixed dinner for the first time, and next week she will be a great help with the Christmas baking. Her ballet lessons are helping her to become more feminine and graceful as the weeks go by. I am very proud of her, and very honored that God chose to give her to us.

Happy Birthday, Nan! Your mom and dad love you so very much, and we are so proud of the young lady you’re growing into.
