We're Pooped!

Natalie was an angel during her first trek across the country and back. She was all smiles on the plane the day we flew west and she slept the entire flight home......even during the plane change in Las Vegas. It looks like we drugged her.....we didn't....she was just out!

Just a Few More Tahoe Shots!

We decided to include a few pictures of the lake for those of you who miss it as much as we do. Of course, we had to include some Natalie shots, too!

More Tahoe Time

More pictures......

Her first dip in Lake Tahoe with Daddy and cousin Emma....it was a little too cold for her liking....we'll try again next year!







Asleep on Great Uncle Mike!

Tahoe Time

We just returned from a wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe to visit family and friends. Most of them hadn't met Natalie yet! Here are some of our favorite pictures.......

Bathing Beauty!

Natalie is getting ready for her first visit to Lake Tahoe.....bikini and all! We thought we'd practice some lounging on the deck today and she took to it like a champ. We can't wait to get there!

Smiley Face

We are having so much fun with Natalie these days. She is quite a ham we've realized. She's been a lot more accommodating of photo shoots recently (even while sleeping) and flashes her various grins at us with little prompting. Everywhere we go she smiles at anyone she finds amusing! She especially loves all grocery store personnel....probably because she spends so much time there!

Back to Natalie

Okay, here are the Natalie pictures you really tune in for!!! She has been so funny lately. Her little personality (or should we say BIG personality) emerges more and more every day. She loves to hear herself talk and she babbles and coos all the time. She's giggling and laughing and grinning most of the day and it's wonderful....what a happy girl.

Model Mania

As many of you know, Kim has been setting up a model home for the past couple of months. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work and most of it was done with her pint sized design assistant in tow. Natalie became quite a savvy furniture shopper and flashed a toothless grin when needed to get an additional discount on everything from sofas to rugs. We all installed the furniture and draperies last weekend and Kim breathed a big sigh of relief when everything was finished.
