Party!

Actually, just cake, but it was still fun! I snuck out this morning and bought a chocolate cake and decorated it with pink icing (my mom will be proud). Once Tricia was settled into her new room, Grandma and Gwyneth arrived and we ate some cake (and it was good)!



Gwyneth was very interested...



Happy 9 month birthday baby GRL!

    Look at that tongue! It looks like she could just lick the icing right off the cake. What a cutie-pie!

    I think it's so sweet that you would go to all the trouble to celebrate your daughter's 9 months with you. Not many men would do that, especially for a 9 month milestone. It just goes to show just how much you appreciate life with your girls. The question is...did Gwyneth get even a lick of the icing?

    Nate,

    I have been following your blog since January. I have checked in *almost* every day, following the amazing journey that you, Tricia, and Gwyneth have forged. You all are so inspirational. I have two first cousins with CF, who have gone through many struggles, but I did not fully understand the severity of CF until I started following your blog. I know it is sort of late in coming, but thank you so much for sharing so much of your lives with all of us. You, as a family, are so inspirational, and I think about, and pray for the three of you constantly. Prayers for Tricia's quick recovery, and Gwyneth's continued amazing growth :)

    *Amy
