Pumpkin carving!

From left to right: Dad, Beck, Meg. Every time we come home from
somewhere Beck has to say hello to the pumpkins again "hi punkin!"
Tomorrow is Halloween- more pics to come of our fierce dinosaur and
Ghostbuster girl!

Pumpkin patch!

We went out a couple weeks ago to a patch out by Megs school to pick
our pumpkins. Megs was fat, dads was tall and Becks was the littlest
of them all. I mostly waddled around the patch, then opted to carve
Becks with him instead of getting my own. The tractors were the big
event for Beck for sure. Its fun to see him getting more into the
holidays and understanding it this year!

Cheese!

That's what Beck said right before I took this picture. We just might
get some pics of him looking at us in the future after all! Fall is in
the air. It's 55 degrees and cold! Halloween is less than a week away.
Time to stock up on candy and get ready to trick or treat. South
Africans must think we're nuts...

Hello 7th grade!

Meg just brought home her school pictures - wow. Can you believe how
grown up she's looking? Gone are the days of the standard blue
background and shoulders up shots. Meg got to pick her background and
she chose well! We are so proud of her. She is landing straight A's so
far and is loving her new school

Halloween

Beck is going to be a dinosaur this year for Halloween and he loves
running around in his costume saying "roar!" It's fun to see him
having more fun with the holidays this year!

Friday night guitar lesson

Daddy teaching Beck to play. He loves dancing and singing to music!

Splash splash...drink drink?

The weather has turned to fall here and the rain has come. Beckett got
new boots for his birthday from his friend Tommy and is having fun
finding all the puddles on our street. This was his first time
breaking in his new Thomas the Train boots and it was going well until
he got thirsty...

Beck turns 2!

It has happened! Our little boy has lived 2 whole years and has filled
our life with laughs and more love than we thought possible. I know
God loves me because he put Beck in my life. What a joy he has been to
watch grow and change. We are excited for all of the years to come!

This is the train cake we made for the family birthday party brunch we
had. A little stressful but turned out great!
