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!
She is so cute. Does she cry much? She always seems so content. I am just thrilled that you are driving home as I type this. I look so forward to seeing photos of your family on the beach soon. Take care and God Bless.
Oh, those are just too, too precious! Don't you just love the oos & ahs that you get from posting these beautiful pics! I know she has to be loving the attention that she's I'm sure getting from her proud mommy & daddy! I am so happy for all 3 of you! Emily
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.
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! :)
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
Oh my gosh, she is just so beautiful and perfect. Does she know where she's going or just along for the ride of her new life? 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.
Gwyneth is growing so fast!! She is absoultly beautiful!! You take great pics!! I'm still praying for her and for Tricia!! God bless you on your way home!! Julie from Alabama
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. Blessings to you!
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!
I have been reading your blog since the beginning. I live in Tulsa, Ok and have a friend named Lo Detrich and she has had two double lung transplants. Her sister refernced your blog on her caring bridge site and I have been praying and believing in miciracles ever since! I am so happy for you and your beautiful family! I will continue to pray and continue looking forward to hearing all about your homecoming! Thank you for sharing your story for the world to read! Its truly an amazing story! makes me sad to think that there are people out there who write awful things! Thanks for sharing and good luck! you and your family are beautiful! God Bless - Emily - Tulsa, Ok
I am reminded of lyrics to one of my favourite worship songs; "our God is an awesome God, he reins in Heaven above, with wisdom and power and love, our God is an Awesome God!"
I'm sure your probably home by now, just praying that you get settled quickly and easily. Thanks for sharing your journey with us...the baby is beautiful!
I just love this group of pictures, and I am praising God for the wonderful work that He has done in your beautiful family. May God continue to bless you all, as you are such a blessing to all of us crazy bog readers. More than that, we are brothers and sisters in the Lord. Love and Prayers for continued health and much happiness! Love, Marge
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!
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!
