Happy New Year

I just thought for a minute about what to title this blog. The last two weeks have been such a whirlwind. There is no way to capture it all. Both of our families were at our house for Christmas. It was so much fun to have them here. The day after Christmas we flew to Iowa for Dan and Derrica's wedding. It was beautiful. It's always good to be a part of a wedding where both people love God with all their heart. It was also great to be back and visit with everyone we love and miss from the middle of the country. We quickly realized we didn't miss the cold and were anxious to leave 7 degrees for 72 yesterday. Last night, our first night home, Natalie was sick. She threw up five times. I'm not sure what was going on, but I'm hoping she's on the rebound today, and praying we don't get sick too. I'll close this so I can upload a bunch of pictures. Some of the pics are from Christmas, she received more toys then she knows what to do with. She also got a baby doll( thanks Uncle Jim and Aunt Cheryl) that she loves, some of the pics are Natalie putting a diaper on her doll. Watching her care for the doll is giving me a funny picture of her perception of us caring for her. The rest of the pictures are of Natalie, because she was the flower girl in the wedding. She did awesome. I told her to go to Dan. She ran down the isle leaving her flower basket with me and taking her bag of cheerios with her. It was so very...Natalie. Happy New Year everyone.
