Brian's favorite thing to photograph is Fletch eating- we have hundreds and hundreds just like this one. Unfortunately, he takes after his mom's eating style. Messy, that is. Check out the hair- it is very hard to manage. And very handsome at the same time. And really long, according to Franny and Katie. Foofie, please do not get mad at me for keeping the Bumbo up on the counter- Fletch was attended at all times.


This just in.. Emmett Paul Holcombe is here! 7lbs, 1 oz, around 10:30 last night (july 30th)! Emily and family are doing great. Ava Belle is scheduled to meet her little brother this morning. Welcome little friend! Check out their photo site (link on the right). Such a cutie pie.

This is our neighbor, Aubrey. Mom, Katie, and Aubrey have become great walking buddies since the weather is so nice. Aubrey gets to steer her stroller- Fletch is jealous of this feature.

Per grandparents' request, some larger pics, better for printing! This is me first thing in the morning- I love the changing table...



















being coy... Today I visited my friends at Methodist Univ. Hospital and I smiled for them. It was good to see everybody!



















new stroller and hat= mom getting out more.

So I have been requested to find another way other than snapfish to share some pictures. Here are some of our sweet little man- almost two weeks old! I guess there are a few things you do when you have kids, that you didn't do before: one of them is to send out Christmas cards- another is to create a blog. So here are some shots of the craziest, sweetest, days as a family so far...




Meet Fletcher Gaines Brocato, born January 22nd, at 6 lbs, 11 oz.

Everyone says that I look like Dad in this one.















Hello mom! My first minutes in the real world. This already seems like 10 years ago.














Meeting Dad...














We are not concerned about his lung capacity.














Hel- LO nurse! Already Mr. Personality.














More pictures to come- I have gotten to meet Papa, Lee Lee, Chief, Franny, and Gigi, so we'll try to post some of family soon... Looking forward to this weekend with Kathy, Leslie and Papa, followed by the one and only Ava Belle Holcombe, with mom Emily, and the Foofie Cordells soon! We really appreciate the help from our visitors- don't know how we could do it without you. The meals and visitors make life a lot easier right now- thanks so much to everyone- the support is overwhelming, and so very needed. The craziness can't be put into words... But neither can the thankfulness that we have for little Fletcher Gaines Brocato.
