Pics

Natalie has had a "twiddling" problem all of her life, practically from birth.  So this week, after having had enough of her developing bald spot, I bribed her to stop twiddling her hair.  She asked for a piggy bank and all week worked very hard to stop twiddling her hair.  She did it!  She earned her piggy bank! Here she is in piggy bank heaven.  She picked the smallest one, and at only $4 I was quite happy with my bribe.  Unfortunately, piggy's life was short lived.  He didn't even make it 24 hours until he bit the dust :(

My little climber!  The child has no fear.

This was from the Halloween party at her preschool.  They only gave us hard copies so forgive my thumb in the shot.

Natalie and Nick watching the Care Bears together.  This picture is as excellent example of the twiddle.

Natalie was invited to a tea party at Gg's house.  Gg know's how to throw one heck of a tea party, but this one had a twist.  Natalie requested that it be in celebration of Jesus' birthday!  You can see "Jesus" on the cake, we sang to him and blew out his candle.  I was quite impressed with Natalie's understanding of the true meaning of Christmas!

Ah.  I adore this picture.  The guy on the left is probably my oldest friend.  We grew up together and have maintained a close friendship.  His name is Sam, but Natalie calls him Aunt Dam.  Anyway, the lady on the right is Aunt Dam's lovely wife, China.  China hasn't seen Natalie since she was very, very little so this was a fun reunion!

Busted.
