Pastor Edlan, Jennifer, Indigo & Willow meet Natalie

On Sunday night, Natalie had a visit from the Pastor of our local church as well as his wife and two daughters. Everyone enjoyed a homemade Indian dinner, followed by lots and fun, games (on the Wii) and laughter. We've never heard Natalie laugh so hard or so much.

At the Great Wall China Adoption Get-Together

Saturday night, Mom, Dad and Natalie went to a get-together for families from across North Texas - all of the families have adopted a child through Great Wall China Adoption Agency. Natalie enjoyed the cuisine - real Texas barbecue. She really loved her french fries, especially when she was sharing them with Mom.

After dinner, Natalie played with the sugar packets while some of the older girls played with their dress-up book. The real highlight of the evening was when Natalie met a little 15 month old boy from Vietnam named Sabian. At first, Natalie was a little shy and weary - she spent the first few minutes watching Sabian and wouldn't let him come too close to her. However, she eventually really connected with him and they became fast-friends. By the end of the evening, Natalie planted a big kiss on a very surprised Sabian.

Thanks Gail for the gorgeous Pink dress

Natalie received a lovely new dress from her Aunt Gail from New Hampshire. As you can see, Natalie looks fantastic in her sparkly new outfit.

Thank you Russ & Carol Nebbia for the Outfits and Purse

Natalie would like to thank Russ and Carol Nebbia from St. Charles, IL for their wonderful gifts. As you can see, Natalie loves her new outfits, but she especially loved her new purse.
