Today I wanted to wish my youngest daughter Natalie a very Happy Birthday! I cannot believe that my "baby" is now a young lady and on the 15th July will become a mom herself!! Where do the years go?
Happy Birthday Natalie and I wish you many blessings.You have enriched my life beyond measure and we are not just mother and daughter but the best of friends too! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love you give and all the sweet and wonderful things you do to make my days special. You are a treasured and beautiful daughter and I am truly blessed that God chose you for me! You have grown into a fine and beautiful young lady. Have a wonderful day full of precious moments! I love you so much!

Hi Linda, and happy birthday to Natalie, what a beautiful daughter you have, and how exciting that she will soon be a mom :) I love all the photos you posted, it always makes me wish I could take a trip back home to do some sight seeing... I wish the air fare wasn't so pricey! Hope you're all having a great weekend.

Happy Birthday to your daughter! Having daughters is truly a blessing in life. I love both of mine so dearly. When they made me a grandmother...there was a whole new realm to that love...you are going to love it!
ReplyDeleteA most happy birthday to your daughter. I am so happy for her. I am sure that it will be wonderful to be a Grandma.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is five. So we have a long time to go.
Thanks also for sharing all the daughter quotes. They were really nice.
Have a beautiful day.
Happy birthday to your daughter!! She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the quotes about "daughters"...I have 2 so I agree wholeheartedly!!
HI Linda happy birthday to Natalie, she has pretty red hair like my niece, that is such a rare true color. The first photos I didn't see she looked like she was having a baby so soon! but now I see in the later ones there is a baby in that belly.
ReplyDeleteYour recent comment about me looking like Morgan's mom made me smile and laugh, people say that to me all the time. I was 39 when my son and his young wife told me I was going to be a grandma! it's been fun, but I just have the one granddaughter so far. My daughter does not have any children.
Did you try to email me about the angel or purchase it through my website?
I hope there is no problems I don't know about. Have a great Sunday! big hugs
Happy birthday to Natalie! She is just beautiful! Her eyes are gorgeous!! Children certainly are a gift from God.
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment on my Little Girl Pinks.
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday to your daughter...and congratulations to both you and her (and her hubby) on the upcoming addition. Is this your first granchild?
I am extremely close to my daughter as well. We are more like best friends than mother and daughter. Truly, it is a gift of God to have the relationships we have with our daughters, isn't it? So many mothers and daughters don't have that same closeness.
Anyhow, blessings,
Patti (Fill My Cup with Beauty)
She is absolutely beautiful! The photos are wonderful and she has the prettiest hair!!! Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, happy birthday Natalie! Gorgeous pictures. Gorgeous girl!

Good Morning to you Linda, and it is very nice to meet you too...Your daughter is soo beautiful ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her. I have one daugher who will be 24 years old on the 24th of July.
