4th of July

Thanks Brian and Gigi for coming to visit and taking my picture!

And thank you Frannie and Chief for sending the new shoes!

And thanks for reading my book, and playing my choo choo song over and over. (and for my monkey and fire truck).

Mostly, thanks for playing. I was sad to see you go! Can't wait to meet my little cousin.

Forrest Spence 5K

Note; there's a link to the left about a 5K on September 12th, started by some friends that we have here in Memphis. If you're in town, come by and run, or check out the kids' stuff. It is a really fun race and for a great cause, benefitting the families in the PICU at LeBonheur Childrens' hospital in Memphis. Just visiting the site reminds me of the Spence's long journey in 2007 with little Forrest, while I was pregnant with Fletcher. Because of him, it was hard to take any of those first days of Fletch's life, although difficult, for granted! I think the fund is a neat way to remember Forrest and to help families through their hospital stay, as well as encouraging the staff that works there.

Around the house again...

Since it's been so hot, this has been where we spend a lot of time. At home. So here's some documentation of this oh so exciting time of the year. (actually it's let up a bit this week, so I shouldn't complain.)

Fletch lookin' cool, contemplating bathtime and showing off his guns. I really love his hair.

Officer Brocato, you are quite intimidating with your badge strapped to your head like that, and with the fancy "collar" on your one-piece romper.
