Welcome To The Gardens

We introduced Gwyneth to the Duke Gardens on Wednesday evening...such a perfect day to be outside, and we're thankful to have had enough time to enjoy it after the long clinic day.

    Great pics. Just love the expressions on Gwyneths face. You should have a "put a caption to the pic" contest. What a beautiful family.

    I especially love your family pic. Everyone together.
    Perfect.

    I especially like Tricia's hair... which may sound strange but I like it. Maybe its because I know whe is a warrior and has conquered. The hair is growing back. Ü

    What beautiful and memorable photos you guys. Its good to see the family photos and the one of Gwenyth standing on the bridge looking out was adorable.

    I wish I had more photos of my children and myself when they were younger.

    Glad you enjoyed some of God's Beautiful Glory today.

    I'm glad to hear Tricia is fever free. I am signing off and going to bed myself with a 3 day migraine.

    what a wonderful family outing and great family pictures! Loving too that everyone's hair is getting sooo long!

    Can I say though that GR might come back someday and really dislike the fact of the "DQ" ontop of her head (my mom did that to me for years and to this day I still pick on her for it...hence we call it the "DQ" style, like the curl on the Dairy Queen ice cream cones, lol)

    Wow... what a gorgeous day! Tricia looks soooo cute without the wig. I see that there are no curls there. I don't know if you knew this, but there were a total of 3 nurses in my clinic who had breast cancer when I did..I was the first, then the other two were diagnosed 6 and 9 months after me.. Two of us got curly hair when it grew back. Mine was curly before, though. The third got her straight hair back. But hey.. it's HAIR~~~
