Who can believe our little Natalie was once a 4 lb. 9 oz. baby? I cannot believe that 3 years have gone by and she's so big and so independent
and so in love with princesses. She speaks well, is potty-trained, still loves books, loves play-doh, and is a nice big sister.
I thought I better get this posted before too much more time goes by. We had a great vacation out west (I'll have to post pictures and stuff later) and were able to see lots of family and enjoy some special celebrations (Great Grandma Louine's 100th birthday and Benjamin & Raquel's wedding). We made it back to Virginia just in time to celebrate Natalie's 3rd birthday on July 30. Too bad when we came back our oven/stove didn't work, so I couldn't make a really cute cake, but I was able to borrow an oven that evening (thanks to the Francis family) and make a cute enough cake for our cutie pie. I guess the only real thing she requested was that is was pink, so I think I did just fine.
Natalie got 2 "princess" movies-Thumbelina and The Swan Princess, which have been a hit.

An early birthday celebration in Idaho on our last night, shared with cousin Zana (their birthdays are 2 days apart).
Presents from Grandma & Grandpa Taylor--the dress up flapper dress and the princess high heel shoes. She loves both, especially the shoes which she wears daily.
