1 year ago today...
Natalie was placed in our arms forever! It was the most amazing day of my life, and I remember it like it was yesterday. What makes it even more special is that it is also my husband's birthday. Can there be a better birthday present? Natalie is an absolute joy in our lives. She is the miracle that I was waiting for so very long. She is a loving, silly and happy little girl. Sometimes when I watch her play, emotions overcome me and I still can't get over that she's really here! We feel truly blessed and very thankful for her. I look forward to the many happy years to come. To help celebrate our special day, here's some pictures of Natalie from over the past year...
