She Smiles! A Collection....

For those who think Natalie is all serious and no smiles (Jackie), here is a collection to show you that she does in fact smile - and lots! Angel Baby, indeed! :)
(She found out what the camera was when Gary and Nadine were visiting, and proceeded to ham it up!)

















If that doesn't brighten your day, I don't know what will!

Fun with Family

Well, we enjoyed another two weeks of the grandparents visiting for their spring breaks! Papa and JeJe Lubke came first, then Grandpa and Nana Moss. Natalie was spoiled and loved spending time with them. We didn't do anything too terribly exciting, but quality time is the best - gotta pack it in when we can. :)
Here are some pictures from the last two weeks:












Thank you all for everything! We loved having you and can't wait to see you again soon!

Getting there

Well, I only have 2 days left of reading the entire Bible! It has been good but exhausting. I don't think I would want to do it in such a short time again. I get frustrated when I want to know more and ask questions, but I can't because there is no time. I am looking forward to getting back into a more in-depth study of a smaller section of scripture. That being said, maybe I will be able to update the blog with a bit more frequency. :) Thank you all for your patience as I've taken this journey. Lots has happened since the last time I posted. I had a birthday. I am now 28 which doesn't even seem possible. I still think of myself as a college student or something. 30 is drawing ever closer.....For my birhtday, we headed to Lowery Park Zoo in Tampa for the day. It was fun, and I'd love to go back again 6mos to a year when Natalie can enjoy it even more. Here are some shots of our day: Fun at a park afterwards: Here is a picture at our first attempts at pig tails! So cute, but she is still not a fan of leaving things in her hair. This is getting to be more of a problem as her hair is getting longer and longer. Here is my favorite picture from Valentine's Day. Best $1.50 I ever spent. She LOVED her baloon. :) Finally, here is a video of our Giraffe encounter at the zoo!
