--------------------Welcome!

The Lord has blessed our family greatly both through adoption and birth. And because there are so many personalities in our family there is much to think about. This blog is a way to put some of those thoughts down and share our journey.



I hope that my words spur you on, encourage you on a so-so day, and point you to the Lord.

Our Middle Daughter

A Young Lady

Some time ago I started introducing our children to you and somehow I got sidetracked, something easily done in our home. So I thought that I would take a little time to introduce you to Natalie.

Natalie is the dalmation. :)

If we have a Type A personality in our home she's it. She keeps track of things, is unusually responsible for an almost 11 year old, and is truly a self-starter. When Natalie was younger we could always tell who was playing with the Little People because she would have them lined up perfectly or divided into perfect little groups. Natalie is great with Nathan and I think that is because she had years of practice with Sweetheart and Tony, her first baby dolls that went everywhere with us for years. When packing the car for vacation it has been as important to take Tony as it has the rest of the family.

Her sport is soccer, she also enjoys swimming and plays the piano. She is great with her younger brothers and sister as she often is the ringleader for a game or putting together a play for the family. Nat loves to bake and often bakes up something in the kitchen.

While Natalie does a great job in most everything she attempts her heart is the best thing about her. From a young age she has had a teachable, tender heart and that is what makes her so special.

A tender heart is truly so special and usually precedes a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit! What a beautiful young lady : )
