Each day we see little glimpses of our Natasha coming back to us. Saturday p.m. Darla was practicing for her upcoming recital and was having some troubles. So here is another glimpse of Natasha as she helped Darla with her practice. Natasha later said, "Mommy, I didn't realize how much I missed playing the violin."



This knock-out Rose bush was a gift from the girls violin teacher for Natasha following her surgery. She also gave her a delightful card that we have all enjoyed and thought you all might enjoy it as well!
The wording of this card she once received from a friend and thought Natasha might enjoy it. (outside) "Your doctor tells me you are doing better and will be able to play the violin soon!" (inside) "Which is quite remarkable because you never could play one before!" :)
We howled laughing!!! Thank you, Mrs. Collins for your very generous gift, your understanding spirit, and most of all your prayers for Natasha through this healing process! You are a dear, and we believe GOD helped us find you to teach our girls!

First of all, thank you for updating your blog as faithfully as you have been! Secondly, seeing Darla so grown up makes me realize how "old" I am!! We have been thinking of you all and praying for you as you come to mind. WE missed seeing you all at IHC!

What a hilarous (sp?) card! Natasha, we are happy at how well you are doing. Darla, neat to see a pic of you playing the violin.

As you can see this Gram is a bit slow in catching up with your blog. Part of is that I am trying to adjust to this new carrier. The rose bush is lovely and the card's message is so cute. Imagine your teacher, who is a master violinist receiving a card like that. I love you, Gram
