Finishing October

Fall was slow to arrive this year but the holidays keep us on track a little. Beck has been a busy, busy boy since his birthday. A few days post his birthday he decided it was time to walk. Which is wonderful, but I always pictured a child taking just three of four steps their first time. I was rudely awakened when Beck took almost 20steps to try to escape out the church doors. I was not ready with my camera (since I was at church) and so I captured this video a few days later, it doesn't show his full range of ability but it was the first steps captured for memories.

Mid-October Kipp had a break and we drove up to Reno. His entire family was there so we took the opportunity to take family photos. It was perfect when Kipp and his twin show up wearing the same outfit (purple top, brown pants and shoes).

 While in the process of the large family photos we ended up with some of just our little family.

 We left Reno just short of Halloween. Spending Halloween in Henderson for the first time we prepared with a large bowl of candy... but we ended up with a trick and a treat.

 Trick: not a single person came to our door. Treat: we enjoyed the entire bowl of candy.

 Or Rather Someone in the family enjoyed the entire bowl of candy.












Every day he just kept getting better and better. He is a different child now that he is able to get into everything. However, looking back this kid was trouble before he walked. In his life he has unrolled toilet paper and paper towel rolls, poured olive oil all over the kitchen floor,  shattered a floor lamp, cut open his eyebrow on the tub, and the one we caught on camera... played in the flour. Man I can't wait to see what the next few years will hold.
