Thank you Aunt Susan and Uncle Brian for the Little People Farm House

Natalie received a great Little People Farm House set from Susan and Brian Chase. She was amused by all the animal sounds and played with them for a while. It appears she was most intrigued by the Cow's Moo.

Meeting Mark and Laura, our friendly neighbors

Saturday night, Natalie met Mark and Laura, our friends from down the street. Mark and Laura were very nice and kept an eye on our house while we were in China - they also gave Natalie a cute new dress and a great book. Of course, Natalie was most interested in Mark's watch, Laura's cell phone and Rayban sunglasses. She enjoyed having dinner and watching a movie with Mark and Laura too. Overall, a fun evening. The first picture is Natalie wearing her new dress.

Fun with Bubbles

Natalie's newest fascination is with bubbles. Here she is trying to catch some of the bubbles that Matt is blowing for her.

Thank you Collis family

Steve, Toni, Mikaila and Olivia visited Natalie on Saturday, soon after her afternoon nap. They were very kind and gave Natalie a big basket full of gifts, which included plenty of books, coloring pens, a piggy bank, a DVD, a big stuffed dog and most importantly, a bubble maker. Natalie thoroughly enjoyed playing with Mikaila and Olivia - they had a lot of fun and Natalie was sad to see them go.

Thank you Winslow Family

Thanks for sending Natalie her Musical Tea Set and Lulu's ABC's. The tea set was a big hit - here's Natalie playing with Lulu as well as serving tea to her favorite stuffed animals.

Kimberly visited Natalie after work

Thanks Gigi for entertaining me at GAF

Jan Ouellet (a.k.a.Gigi) did a great job connecting with Natalie when she visited GAF. She got Natalie stuffed toys, played with balloons and even walked with Natalie.

Visit to GAF

Natalie visited GAF on Friday afternoon. At first, she seemed a little overwhelmed by the experience - there were so many new people to meet. However, after a little while, Natalie settled down and started to enjoy herself. The turning point was probably when she discovered the big bowl of potato chips. One of the highlights was spending some time in Mommy's office, working side-by-side with her. We want to thank everyone at GAF for being so friendly and welcoming.
