No News is Good Day

Despite not hearing a word from Duke, we had a great day today:

> Drove safely to VA this morning, with Gwyneth sleeping most of the way.
> Gwyneth had a good checkup with her eye doctor.
> We had fun looking for some new furniture for the new house.
> Bought some baby gifts for new friends arriving soon.
> Found Gwyneth's TRUNKorTREAT costume that we've been searching for (for half-price).
> Hung out with two of our best friends.
> Drove safely home tonight, with Gwyneth sleeping most of the way.

Hoping to hear from Duke tomorrow.

    I bet there were never so many people waiting to hear from Duke as there are right now.

    Soo, on a fun note, is this baby's first Halloween costume a surprise? Or do we get pictures?

    I saw a sign for Trunk or Treat at a church in my town, I guess I shall now figure out what it is :)

    Nate~
    Imagine my surprise when I logged on this morning and found your comment. I can't imagine, with all you have to do, that you would comment on my lowly little blog. I meant it, tho, and although I have never met the three of you, I keep you in my thoughts every day and follow the blog faithfully. I am interested in watching Gwyneth grow up, since I lost my own preemie. Thanks for doing what you do every day!

    I am new to the blog world. I found your site from "My charming kids." I just wanted to say I really enjoy reading about your family. I think you are doing a wonderful job with your wife and baby girl. If you want to check out my page please do so. Last year my little girl and I did a CF walk. She was about six months old and did not want to ride in her stroller. So I carried her for six miles and pushed the stroller with one hand. We did make it and it felt great to walk for a great cause. A friend of mine did the same walk in her town and I found out they had one in my town and I went for it. She has a family member with CF. Have a great day and keep up the great work you do with your family.
