Visitors from Bham and St. Louis

Ava Belle and Emily stopped by on their way back home to St. Louis. Sweet Ava Belle practiced being a big sister with little Fletcher. Emily is the busiest mom-to-be we have ever seen... Must be why she looks so good!
Can't wait to meet little Emmett Holcombe. We always enjoy seeing the holcombes- sure do miss that Paul, though!













Papa came last week(there are more pictures, but they are stored in Papa's camera, and he apparently can't figure out a good way to send them to me ). In the mean time, note in this picture that the baby shirt isn't on yet. You see, it has to go BEFORE the pants when you're snapping things. That's why it took quite awhile to get dressed this day. Anyway, we had a great time eating out and going to the zoo too (very close to our house). The monkeys practically kissed us, they were so close. Shame we don't have those pictures yet.

Gina, Frankie, and Chief

Thanks for coming to visit last week, and for a great day at the zoo. Always nice to have some company during the day.
Frankie, thanks for riding all the way up to Memphis to see the zoo with us!














I love Gigi!


















handsome little fella.

(deciding to actually use the blog to share some thoughts here). One of the best things about Fletcher, is how he makes other people happy- Seriously, I am like a celebrity at the grocery store (without all of the personal questions, Kelley), and when we go out to eat, too. People just come up to us and start talking, and Fletcher will inevitably flash one of those famous grins, and I swear it makes people laugh, and carry on conversations with him. One lady last week had a whole conversation, in which she told me afterwards, that Fletcher told her to enroll in a beauty pageant. A total stranger! Anyway, I really love for him to spend time with our friends and families- it is a total unexpected bonus of parenthood to see him so loved and appreciated by you-
I think he makes Eddie happy too. He guards him while he eats and sleeps sometimes. Fletch is just waking up here.
