August 3, 2012 Ben, Travis, and I welcomed Natalie Sue Cook into the world. Natalie was 6 lbs 11 oz. and 19 inches tall. She was born at 12:48 p.m. She is a quiet happy baby that sleeps like an angel! When we told my family that we were going to name her Natalie everyone instantly knew what a special person she is named after, but not many people outside of my family know. Natalie is named after a person very special in my life. She is named after Natalie Goodwin. Natalie Goodwin was my neighbor in Snake River when I was growing up. She was at the time my best friends mom. She died of cancer when I was in sixth grade almost sixteen years ago. She was the nicest lady and best person I have ever known.She was the kind of person that made the world a better place. My mom has always told me that she is pretty sure Natalie got a free pass to the Celestial Kingdom.
