Happy Baby

Still waiting for Gwyneth to go into surgery. My parents are hanging with her now in the pre-op room, and Tricia and I are getting ready to head over there now.

This was Gwyneth this morning, sans feeding tube!

Prayers for Gwyneth--and her whole family too--it's probably harder on them than on her!!

Eliza said...

Awwww...I'll be thinking about you guys--please do let us know when Gwyneth is out of surgery so that all of her Internet aunties and uncles can breathe a sigh of relief! Also, what is she having done today? You've been kind of vague and if you don't want to say then that's cool, but I was just wondering...

Kathryn said...

Look at that big girl! Oh my goodness. God's blessings and peace!

Anonymous said...

I have been trying to decide who I think she looks like (based solely on pictures, of course.) With this picture, I think her eyes look like Tricia's, but her face looks like Nate's.

Praying for you all today! You're doing a GREAT job at parenting.

Love, Holly

Kerry said...

God is amazing and has done wonderful things for your family... I wish you continued good luck - I will say a prayer for Gwyneths Surgery...And that you can get prepared for that gorgeous girls homecoming... on another note- I love all your photos... I dabble in photography as well and love to see all your shots :)

No better way to describe the word "angel." Also, she is definitely daddy's little girl.

God has blessed your family!
