Natalie is doing great! We survived the week of antibiotics at the hospital and now we are home and happy. She loves being held and looking around at everything. She is a great sleeper.

D: What’s that?
L: Airplane.
D: What do the lights do?

L: Utah.
D: oh. Who’s it going to see?

D: Who else?
L: Puppy.
D: Who else?
