Happy Birthday to me..

Hello everyone,

I'm finally getting around to putting some pics up of my actually birthday. Dad took the day off and we spent the day just the three of us. Mom graciously packed a picnic and we went down to Lake Eola park in downtown Orlando. I can't remember now, but I was tired most of the day as you will see from the pictures.

I took my first boat ride in a swan! Mom and Dad had never taken the swan boats around Lake Eola so after some food, bird watching, and walk around the park we rented a swan boat. The swan boat is basically two seats and pedals. Mom and Dad pedals and I enjoyed the wind in my face, the perfect weather, and the big fountain the middle of the Lake.

Here are some pics from our adventure. Enjoy!

Love,
Natalie.

After the boat ride I took some time to play on the playground. Dad gives me a little push!

Family Party at the Park - 12/1/07

Good evening Everyone,

In anticipation of my first birthday we had a little family party at the park down the road. I got to wear a pretty dress to the party and got to swing, eat, and have some cake! We didn't stay too long because I was tired, it was about to rain, and another group had booked the pavillion we were at. I think it was long enough for my first party. I look forward to next year when I will invite friends and we can run and play.

My first birthday cake!

Grandma and me. This was my birthday dress!

Shoveling in some cake! Wonder where I can put this frosting on my hand?

Oh, I'll put wipe my hand right on Dad's shirt. We don't have a picture of it, but afterwards I wiped my hands and mouth on Dad's shirt Dad had to take the shirt off. ;)

Time at Disney Market Place - 11/29/07

Hello again,

Right after Thanksgiving a bunch of the Mom's got together and took us kids to Disney Marketplace to tool around and see something new. It was Mom and me, April, Jennifer, Rachel, Stacey, Sam, and Steven. Here are some pics from that outing.

Here am I stealing some food from Steven's stroller.

Funny story, Mom went to get my stroller out of the back of the van when we got there and to her surprise it wasn't there. Luckily Stacey had a umbrella stroller available for me to borrow. I actually did pretty well in that thing, even took a little snooze.

Thanksgiving - 11/22/07 (late post)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! (yeah, I know the post is several months behind)

We had Thanksgiving dinner at Daddy Ron's and Grandma Moatsie's house this year (well my first Thanksgiving anyway). Uncle Ken and Aunt Kim were there with Sean and Audrey. We had good eats and had plenty of walks out by the lake.


Here is a video of me trying to walk behind a toy. While I wouldn't be walking on my own for several more weeks I wasn't doing to bad. Just needed to learn to steer.

Me with Daddy Ron in his backyard.

This was on Thanksgiving, but a few days later. Look what Dad found in his laundry basket. ;)

Natalie's Baptism - October 28, 2007

Hey there,

I have been several months behind on pictures and wanted to get a few posted while the time presents itself.

On October 28th I was baptized at Northland Church in Longwood, Florida. Northland usually has their baptisms and child dedications in an afternoon seperate meeting, but this particular Sunday they did the baptisms during the service due to a special sermon.

Here some footage of the actual baptism my Aunt Janet took:

Here are some pics from the day. God is truely awesome.
