We had a great time in Murfreesboro. Quentin enjoyed staying at his Uncle Monty and Aunt Babara’s house with the “horsies”. We think our city boy may have a little bit of country in him too! Here are some pics. Enjoy.

2. We can’t quite tell if Quentin was chewing tobacco like his Uncle Monty???
3. Q and Aunt Barbara strike a pose on the front porch.
4. Q couldn’t get enough of Aunt Barbara’s back rubs.
5. We had a great lunch at Miller’s Grocery with our friends Lois, Mady, and Donna along with Monty and Barb and Will. Great food.
6. Quentin loved the white colt! He’ll be riding any day now as long as Uncle Monty teaches him.
7. We may have a soccer player on our hands!
8. Hanging with the Robertsons.
9. Q and Cousin Will loved Far East Cafe.
10. Quentin is ready to start mowing!

Our next stop was a few days in Nashville with our friend Jeff and his son Sam. We had a great time and once again Quentin had a dog, a truck, and a guitar to play with. There’s a theme here!
1. Quentin wears his State Farm hat and sunglasses while playing the guitar. A star is born!
2. Quentin and Jeff strike a pose!
3. Quentin gives the doggie lots of love.
4. Sam teaches Quentin how to play the race car game at the car museum. We had an amazing private tour of the museum from our good friend James. If you like cars, this is the place to visit.
5. Out on the town with friends Sue and James.
6. Dinner was a blast with AJ and Steven who brought Quentin some really cool gifts to play with!
We had such a great time at Jeff and Sam’s. Jeff and I were college roommates and best friends and it was just like old times! Next stop--Murfreesboro at Monty and Barb’s.

Our next stop was in Etowah, Tennessee where we spent a fun-filled weekend with Uncle Jere and Aunt Linda and the “cousins”. We had the best time and Q was in heaven with his favorite things: cars, dogs, and guitars!
1. Uncle Jere takes Quentin on a ride in the uber-cool go-cart. It’s a bit more advanced than the one he bought us when we were kids!
2. On the raceway with Cousin Brie.
3. Jamming with cousin Bart and cousin Bel. Music is a passion already!
4. Hanging with Aunt Linda and the beloved Argas. Quentin couldn’t get enough!
5. Quentin loved the special Car Tent that Aunt Linda bought for his bed.
6. Quentin poses with his cousins Stephen, Ashley, and Erin with Daddy Allen.
We had so much good food and fellowship including a wonderful church service. Can’t wait to visit again next summer. Next stop--Nashville!

We had the best day just the three of us. Allen cooked an amazing breakfast (with Quentin’s help of course), we took a long walk, Q went to the grocery with me, and we played outside and watched Barney too. It’s truly wonderful to be Quentin’s father. What a blessing!

Our cousin Donna came over for dinner while visiting LA from her home in NY. She was here on business and as you can see, Quentin loved spending time with her. We hope she’ll come back soon and bring her son Trey so Quentin can have a play date!

We celebrated with some of our favorite mom’s at brunch today. Here are some photos:
1. Quentin showing off an outfit from our dear friends Mark and David who are also the parents of Quentin’s favorite dog, Spike. So cute!
2. Quentin and his daddies (no, Allen has not gotten fat - the camera is acting crazy for some reason) pose with my adopted mom, Irma. She looks pretty good for 91, don’t you think?
3. Quentin and his Aunt Holly and cousins Heidi and Jason.
4. Quentin and his Uncle Gary and partner Sean.
And, we send love to our mother’s who couldn’t be with us. My mom Toodie in Tennessee and Allen’s mom Dulcenia in Heaven.

We belong to this really great Children’s Museum in Rancho Mirage and I took Quentin there today. They had a real Fire Truck come visit and Quentin loved it. Here are some photos. Enjoy.
1. Quentin sits on the front of the Fire Truck.
2. Quentin hops inside for a look around.
3. Quentin is ready to join the squad!
4. Quentin plays nicely beside another little boy in the side box area. But, he didn’t like sharing the sand box...he doesn’t like sharing anything!
5. Quentin “shops” in the Museum’s Grocery Store.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. And, Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers here and the ones who have gone to Heaven.

Here are some pics this week of our little man. He is so fun and funny!
1. A boy and his tricycle and one of his “babies” that he is giving a ride to. He has 5 babies that he is very attached to that must sleep with him every night.
2. Quentin loves his Nanny’s two boys, Pablo and Jesse. Here he is hugging Jesse. The boys are so good with him and he just loves playing with them.
3. For some reason, Quentin likes putting underwear over his head. Hopefully, he’ll outgrow that!
Have a great week!
