Quentin’s Big Trip—First Stop--Murfreesboro, TN

Posted by Stuart on 06/28 at 02:52 PM

First of all, apologies that this is so late getting posted.  It is actually August 3rd today but I have dated this June 28th which is when it should have gone up.  I have lots to post and catch up on so let’s not waste any time!

Quentin took his first plane ride on a big trip back East to see family and friends.  He was great on the plane (of course, who doesn’t enjoy First Class)!  Our first stop was Murfreesboro, TN, where I grew up.  We stayed at my brother and sister-in-law’s house (Monty and Barbara) and their youngest son, Will, who is 8 years old.  I must apologize because of all the pictures you are going to see, for some strange reason we didn’t get any of Monty or Barb with the baby.  Barb is already on the blog because she came out and stayed with us when Quentin was first born.  But, I can’t believe we didn’t get any with Uncle Monty!  My brother is so great with babies and Quentin was no exception.  So, next time, we’ll get lots of pictures with them both!  Monty and Barb have a beautiful home and we felt like we were at a spa hotel!  And, of course, Barb cooked up a storm so we ate way too much good food which is always nice!

We were able to see lots of family and friends.  We didn’t get pictures of everyone but please know how wonderful it was to see all of you.  Quentin loved you all! 

Here’s some of the pictures we did get for your enjoyment.

1.  The Best Friends:  Sue, Donna, Donna’s daughter Mady holding Q, me and Jamie.  We were all the best of friends in college and beyond.  It was great to be back together again which doesn’t happen too often due to our busy lives. 

2.  My sister Abby holding Q while her daughter Ava looks on.  Abby’s daughter Ava is 18 months old and so adorable.  She looks just like Abby.

3.  My sister Amy is all smiles with Q.  Amy is a natural with babies just like Monty!  Q loved her.

4.  My grown nephew Justin (yes, Monty and Barb started early) with his beautiful, smart, amazing girlfriend MacKenzie (can you tell we like her a lot—no pressure Justin)!

5.  My nephew Will strikes a pose with his cousin Q.  Right after we snapped this, Will threw his hands in the air and Q fell backwards on the bed as he didn’t realize that his arm was Q’s sole support.  It was too funny! 

6.  Barb’s adorable sister Allison came over for a visit with Q.  We also got to see both of Barb’s parents, Barbara and Wayne, but forgot to take pictures.  It was great spending time with them.

7.  The Boys are Back in Town:  Allen, my nephew Will, me, and one of my best friends and roommate from college Jeff with his son Sam.  I think we are a pretty handsome group of guys.  This was taken outside of my favorite country cooking restaurant in Murfreesboro called Clearview Cafe!

Well, that’s it for Murfreesboro.  Next stop is Richmond, Virginia to visit the Bell-Williams clan!
