6 going on 26...

Today, my second of four daughters turns 6. At 5:31 a.m. on 6/10/07, Natalie Faith Koehn joined our family, and ever since those first few moments, she has been forging her own strong, independent path.

 
Full of life and energy, Natalie oozes confidence, attitude (maybe a little too much attitude) and wit. Lovingly nicknamed our little Natterbugs (she LOVES bugs and critters), she loves dressing up in princess costumes while playing with her Hot Wheels and Thomas trains. She paints her nails and plays in the mud. She dances around the living room in a tutu and splashes in rain puddles. She plays soccer and beats all of the boys on her team in their drills. In many ways, she is an adult trapped in a child's body. She is her own unique self, and we couldn't love her any more if we tried.








In a couple of months, Natalie will be traveling down a new path as she starts kindergarten. This evening, Joel told her not to grow up too fast, to which she replied, "If Mommy keeps making yummy food, then I will be 7."  ;-)

Happy 6th birthday, Natalie! You are one special young lady! Please don't ever change!

Love always,
Mommy and Daddy
