It is amazing how such a little child...

You can pretty much finish that sentence with just about any statement.


Someone said that to me today with the ending something to the effect of "cause so much change." It really got me thinking. It is amazing how such a little child can change your life.


I didn't used to spend most of my day thinking about one person. Sorry, Amy, but you didn't get most of the day. I didn't use to look forward to stepping through my garage door into the house. That was just a mundane part of the coming home routine. Now, thanks to a little girl, it is a big event. I didn't use to care that much for hugs and kisses on the cheek. It is amazing how such a small child can change all those things.


However, it ain't all sunshine and roses either. It is amazing how such a small child can frustrate you to no end. It...can make you so mad. It...can make her parents so mad at each other without knowing she had any effect on that. It is amazing how such a small child can rip through the life you thought you were so comfortable with like a tornado (and make the house look like just that as well).


All in all though, it really is amazing how such a child could carry so much love with her. I can no longer imagine my life without her, nor do i care to.












































This last picture is from my friends Terrell and Amy's wedding. I think Natalie liked the reception more than anyone there. She had a blast. I was really hoping there were some pictures of her with Amy in their traditional dresses, but alas, I had none. I am sure my friend Tim can help me with that.

Natalie is doing very well with her walking. she rarely crawls these days. she dances a lot though.
