Fletcher....

Well my baby is 6 months old today. It has gone by so fast, it seems like we just brought him home. He has been such a joy and blessing. He has to be one of the happiest babies I have ever seen and the cutest (I'm probably a little biased). He is a very big boy. He is weighing in at 18 lbs. 7 oz. McGregor was still bigger, but Fletcher is a solid little boy. I have been gone quite a bit lately with my dad in the hospital and every time I come home Fletcher is so excited and he gives me a million kisses. It's sometimes good to know you were missed. I love his kisses, his smile, and how inquisitive he is. He is rolling and sitting up. It is sometimes tough when your belly gets in the way, but he is doing so good. He brings joy to everyone who is around him. We love you Fletcher and we are thankful Heavenly Father sent you to our family.

News on my Dad. We had a scary weekend. We just about lost him Friday night. My mom called about 9:00 pm and told me to come that his body was shutting down. I can't even explain the feelings I had. By the time I got down there they had stabilized him and were moving him to the ICU. It has been so hard to see my dad like this. They decided it was a complication between him being dehydrated and the heart medicine they put him on Friday night. On a good note, I took my kids to see him last night and he looked so good. We even got him laughing, thanks to Tony. We are definitely scared about his upcoming surgery. Thanks for everyone's concerns and prayers!! We have definitely felt the spirit so close through all of this. At some moments it is almost tangible.
