Greetings, friends!
The camera had almost 100 photos & films on it,
so I felt I should relieve its burden.
I write to you on the eve of Fletcher's 4th birthday.
I guess this time, 4 years ago, we were scrambling to assemble
the crib & finish the nursery.
That morning we were at the hospital and had been sent home,
so we knew he was coming soon!
With every milestone or anniversary this
year comes a bittersweet emotion.
Happy to celebrate an occasion within our growing family,
but sad that it's the first of many
without our dear mother & Grammy.
And so, on the eve of the anniversary of
my own initiation into motherhood,
I am missing my mother terribly.
I am proud to say that I wish to grow more like her.
And now, some happy pictures of kids!
Can't stay sad with these crazies!

Stephan, Eisley & Weston on our Dallas trip in January.
It was good to see you guys!
We'll have to come visit you in Florida. :(
An outfit that Grandma (Wes' mom) gave her.
I'm sure she'll want a copy of this one!
The two babes.
Let me just say that a 4 year-old thinks
the rules are rewritten every day.
So, today he can climb on the crib,
whereas yesterday it was not allowed.
I've taken to blaming Wes: "Daddy doesn't want you to do that."
Leeeaaaaning...
Such trust.
Fletcher & Irene.
Awwww... Irene started it...
Her first rice cereal.
Yummmm!!
Play-doh creations by Fletcher.
This is our family, from left:
Baby Leigh (wrapped in a pink blanket),
Fletcher, Daddy, Mommy.
Lauren with Leigh on our balcony.
She's started to discover her feet.
One thing about her: she discovers things, then moves on.
Fletcher would accumulate discoveries
and incorporate them into his day.
Leigh masters something, then doesn't
do it again for a week or more.
Mister Jelly-Face.
Clean girl.
Playing on the bed.
Fletcher took a picture of us.
Loves the booster chair.
She can't sit on her own, but she does well
if she's strapped in and has the tray in front of her.
