December 28, 2010 by Victoria The last few days have been really special...emotional.

April 06, 2010 by VictoriaWe had a really wonderful Easter weekend. My dad and Bill's mom came up on Saturday and Gwendolyn loved it. She kept looking back and forth at them, listening to everything everyone was saying, and seemed extra content to have both Gramma and GrandPa around her. We had fun doing an Easter egg...

April 02, 2010 by VictoriaGramma is so creative and I am so glad. I have been busily collecting little gifts for Gwendolyn's Easter basket over the last few weeks (the usual sweets in the basket don't work for a child who doesn't eat by mouth), but I completely forgot about dying Easter eggs...and that's a perfect...

October 18, 2009 by Victoria Gwendolyn is much, much improved. She is full of smiles, her eyes are bright, and she has her spunk almost completely back. We were all going a bit stir crazy after being stuck inside for several days, so we thought a morning jaunt to the darling pumpkin patch, Lane Farms, would be just the family...

This was Gwendolyn with Santa last year on Christmas day while we were in the hospital. And while we are proud our daughter was in the News-Press, we so wish it were under different circumstances. And so our prayers are especially with those who are in the hospital watching their children fight...
