Oooh! I've never been the first commenter before!

She is looking so great. I'm praying as ya'll head home.

Enjoy!

Heather said...

Gorgeous!

I think that Gwyneth's first word...after Mommy and Daddy...will probably be camera. You are going to be so thankful when she gets older that you have been so careful to document her first year!

I look so forward to seeing photos of your family on the beach soon.
Take care and God Bless.

His timing is so perfect.

The Beaver Bunch said...

Like I've said before...if I really knew ya'll, and knew I wouldn't get the "crazy stranger look" I'd totally squeeze those little cheeks. Uuuugh, if she were any cuter it'd be a crime. Happy trails! I know it will be AMAZING to be home.

Meredith K Beaupre said...

Those are beautiful! Praying for a safe trip, and a big deep breath of beach air to fill Tricia's new lungs! I'm sure Gwyneth will love the beach!

Thank you for updating for us amid all the hustle and bustle!!

Julie said...

congrats.

Katie Lamont said...

I keep thinking about how amazing it was for me when I drove home from college the first time, and how all the familiar sights were so comforting to see... depending on which way you come, of course. Either direction- when I got on the bridge I felt like I was realy and truly almost home! And I keep thinking that Tricia is feeling all that even moreso that I ever could have and it just makes me so happy for her, and for you, that I almost can't keep from crying tears of joy! What an amazing feeling to finally be HOME after all this time! What an amazing year it has been!!! I hope your ride was wonderful! :)

Unknown said...

she is so precious! Congrats and welcome home to you. I bet it feels so good yet sureal. Hope your family get settled into your new lives easily.

I love the new pics!
May your ride home be safe and sound! As a new chapter begins...

Kim said...

Holy cow! I just want to gobble her up!

allison said...

amazing! so glad you all are headed home. Just wanted to pass on a fun cd that I discovered benefits the CF Foundation and Jouvenille Diabetes (which I have). I have a 14 month daughter and we love to listen to music...there is a great childrens author Sandra Boynton and she also has a kids cd (creative lyrics and different styles so not annoying-she said with love) called "Philadelphia Chickens"-famous people are the singers...quite clever. Just thought I'd pass it on. -allison

Laurie in Ca. said...

I wish you the safest travel and the most wonderful welcome home reception from your family at the other end. What a wonderful day this is!!!!! My prayer miracle for you has come today.

Love you guys, Laurie in Ca.

She is just getting cuter every day! I am SO glad you are on your way home, I know that's just a huge blessing for you.
I have to tell you, it's just been amazing following your story. I learned about you not too long after Gwyneth was born & to see you going home to OBX now is incredible.

Just amazing and awesome! How wonderful to see these.

Caroline Cordle said...

Oooooooh, just LOOK at those GORGEOUS li'l chubby cheeks. She's really filling out - what a blessing that the Lord is keeping her so well and thriving. He is SO good! Every blessing to you all as you travel "home" - trusting all goes well and the girls continue to keep in good health. No chance of me passing on lurgies - the UK is a teeny iddy bit too far away to drop in for a visit!

So have a cyber-hug - it's quite safe!

Football and Fried Rice said...

Those big blue eyes....... Gorgeous!

Elena LaVictoire said...

Why does this baby look so wise? She has very wise knowing eyes (and probably a wise and knowing soul). I think she is going to be quite something amazing to watch as she grows up!

Haley said...

Can I say (wihtout offending anyone) that she is looking quite chubby! Whuch is saying alot for a preemie! SO for people out there who read into everthing..chubby here means very heathly and well fed! Fabulous!

Gila said...

What a beautiful little girl you have!
