  15. So precious! Nothing like a fresh, clean baby to put a smile on your face!

    Tricia is in our thoughts and prayers--

  16. The three of you are such a testament to the love of the Lord for I know it is by His Grace that you are able to face each day with a smile because of your faith in His plan. We are teaching our kindergarten Sunday school class about determination and following God's plan even when it is hard. When I reflect on the word determination you three always come to mind. Know that your lives are a testimony of His love and that He is reaching many through you. We are praying for you!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Okay, so you made me cry and smile at the same time. You are so good at that.

    Just darling.

  21. Are you going to tell us how much that cute baby weighed this afternoon? And what wonderful things her doctors had to say about her? Actually, I hope you are both sound asleep right now, and you will tell us in the morning! Praying for a good night of rest for all three of you!

    ReplyDelete

  30. I have always been fascinated by hands-and to watch Gwyneth stare at her own hands was so engrossing. I go to the park and watch the squirrels use their hands too. Or the zoo---odd to some but hands made us human. And mine need lotion so go nite nite kiddies.

    ReplyDelete

  64. Uhh Nate I could only wish I was as talented as you with the videos you make. Randy has been in the hospital 4 times in the last couple months back at home in upstate NY. We sure wish we were closer to Duke as the docs and nurses are so amazing and no Randy best. He is recovering from bacterial Pneumonia and also developed a virus, we hope to get him home soon. Your daughter continues to put a smile on our face and we are praying for Tricia to get out of ICU and back out of the hospital.

  85. Hey Nate ...I've been keeping up with your blog for months now, but never posted a comment. After seeing this wonderful video you made, I just had to say that that is one of the most loving and caring things you could have done for your wife! She is lucky to have such a great man in her life and you are both blessed with such a cute little girl!! =D

    Much love for you all,
    Jessa

    ReplyDelete
  87. How sweet! You are an amazing dad and Tricia is an amazing mom. Prayers for you all!

    ReplyDelete
  88. My three year old was just watching that with me. He asked me who that baby was and I told him it's a baby named Gwyneth and she used to be sick and Jesus made her better. And my three year old said, "Jesus is a nice friend! He loves to make people better when they're sick."
    So we're praying that our "nice friend" Jesus will make Gwyneth's mommy better too!

    ReplyDelete
  89. This is the cutest sweetest thing I've ever seen. It made me cry. I'm praying for the Lord to watch over your family, and it's so good to know that He is.

  108. Nate, you are the best Daddy in the world! I'm glad Tricia can focus on getting better knowing you are taking such good care of Gwyneth. I think she may be the next Subway spokesperson by the looks of those pants! Praying Tricia is on the mend and will soon be back with the two of you so you can finish all your shopping for the new house. Thanks for keeping us posted.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Oh that was just beautiful. Tricia I'm praying that you get to feeling better soon so you can get back to your beautiful family. God has blessed all three of you. Take care.

    ReplyDelete
  110. That was sweet. My 4 year old youngest twin watched it and said "Mommy can we get one of them" and I said "a Gwyenth?" and she said "oh please Mommy I would feed her every day!" Like she is a puppy or something. :-)

    My little girl loves her. She wants to look at her pics all the time. I don't blame her, she is a cutie pie!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I haven't commented before, I don't think... but I have been following your blog for a long time.

    I just wanted to say, as a mother, that was just about the best gift ever! What a sweet tribute to your love for your daughter, and for your wife.

    We are praying for Tricia's healing, and homecoming again.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Too precious for words! Goodjob swinging it on your own. We're praying that Tricia is feeling better soon and gets home to you both!

    ReplyDelete
  113. That is Quiet possibly the sweetest little video i've ever seen. Gosh* that was cute. My 5yr. was watching it with me & she wanted to know (when she saw the big pants on Cute-T baby) if those were "Your" pants Dad! LOL! Yeah, I laughed too, I told her they couldn't be yours... they had pink polkas on them! ;)
    Hope your beautiful wife is better soon! I'm praying for you both!
    Blessings,

    ReplyDelete
  116. I have kept up with your blog for a long time. Don't remember how I originally found it. Praise God I did. This is an unbiased comment, but seriously I have never saw I child look more like her Dad than Gwyneth does you. It is hilarious.

  126. Nate, that was so adorable. I am sure Tricia will feel much better after that adorable little vid. I know I do.

    ReplyDelete
  127. You are such a good Daddy! This gave me a good laugh...she's your twin!

    ReplyDelete
  128. So very sweet.

    But hey, those baby sleep sacks? They're supposed to be long. And some of them have "mittens" that fold over the hands, to keep baby from scratching him/herself at night. So you did just fine, I'm sure.

    ReplyDelete
  129. I am cracking up right now! I love the part about "not knowing what size" she is. When my husband dresses our daughter, things are always too big or too small. So, I think its just a daddy thing. We appreciate your efforts though. :o)

    I'm glad Tricia is our of ICU. We are continuing to pray for her improved health and AWESOME test results!

    ReplyDelete
  130. Nate you are such a sweet and thoughtful man.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Long time lurker here...I just had to comment on that video...SUCH a great idea! SO cute! You're a great dad.

    ReplyDelete
  138. I had this saved in my Google Reader so I could watch it with sound... too too cute.

    And is that sweet baby girl off the O2? Did I miss a memo??

    Many continued prayers from San Diego...

    ReplyDelete
  139. Don't feel too bad about the clothes, Nate. You're a newbie.
    I did home daycare years ago, and one morning a daddy brought his 3 yr old to my house around 6:30. His wife worked in the lab @ Norfolk General. When I took Ginny to the bathroom later, I realized she had on a pair of her mom's white nurse's hose. All I could think of all day was... what did the mommy have on??

    ReplyDelete
  140. I like this video, and I know Tricia does and she was so cute looking and playing with her little hands!

    ReplyDelete
  141. That is the cutest thing ever. I love it. And the music adds so much to the video!! You guys are adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Praying for all of you! What a beautiful little girl!

    ReplyDelete
  143. I'm one of those quiet readers. I've been following your blog for some time and very rarely I comment. But, this video was absolutely precious!
