More Visitors

We had a lot of fun with my parents when they came out to "meet" Declan again.  They were here for over a week before he was born but since he was a week late they only got to spend a few hours with him before they had to fly back to Idaho. It was so great to have them here! Declan loves having people around to give him attention 24/7.

Zach blessed Declan at church on October 25th. Doesn't he look cute in his little white tux? My mom found it in Idaho and it fit him perfectly! By the way Declan's name is pronounced Deck-lan not DE-Klan. :)


All of us in front of the Memphis Temple

My parents with Declan

My mom reading to Declan

Declan decided to start sitting up with help while they were here.

We went to the Memphis Botanical Gardens while they were here.  It was the first time I had ever been and they are amazing!  They have a really cool area for kids to play.  I'm kind of sad that we're going to move before Declan is able to enjoy it.

Declan was a monkey for Halloween!

Levi, Emery, and Declan at the ward party. They are all just waking up.

We were able to go to the Zoo and watch the cool sea lion show.

On their last day here Declan decided he wanted to start standing with some help of course! It's his new favorite position now.
