 Most Eligible Bachelor at the Wedding award went to Beckett...the old ladies and young girls loved him....How could you not with a smile like that?!

We will surely miss all of the friends we've made while living here!

Feel free to come help us pack....seriously.

last days of sweet summertime

A few favorite photos from August and September...

 This smashing outfit was worn by Dad back in the early 1980s...fancy, huh?! 

 weeee!

 These were taken on August 8, 2012...to the minute that he was born 14 months old.

 snapped a pic of Beckett and Mom before we headed to story hour at the Chatham Library

 He loves to brush his teeth...good thing, too. There are a lot to brush!

 Welcome to the Illinois State Fair 2012...now, where are the snacks?

 He loved the corndogs. So did Mommy...yum!

 We had a small "surprise" when we found out Baby #2 is due in May! I made this shirt to tell grandparents and friends. It reads: "Only Child Expiring Spring 2013"
Beckett doesn't seem thrilled by this idea...

 always, always wanting to throw toys in our bath tub....

a relaxing end to a wild and crazy summer!

Summertime - July 2012

Beckett has been busy with all of the fun, new toys he received for his birthday.

We still think the Little People Zoo and Animals are his very most favorite...he (and Daddy) can play with the set for a long time before becoming bored!

  Our cutie in some of his nautical-inspired patriotic gear! He looks so darn cute!

 Beckett loves to goof around on our bed. Jumping on the big pillows is his favorite!

 waving at his favorite person (Mom) 

Hard to believe he is already 13 months old.

 Cutest little munchkin I have ever seen...not that I am biased!

 My two favorite guys...

 Rowan and Arlyn came to visit (along with their parents...they needed a ride)

 Mom's 29th birthday...last year of her twenties. Yikes!!!

 watching some television....he is a little obsessed with Mickey Mouse

 Came home from dinner with my old co-workers (to celebrate my birthday) and found this!

Beckett and Lily playing and laughing!

 Blowing kisses to his favorite person (Mom)! 

 Busted playing with some tissues...he even tried eating some. Don't worry. They weren't used!!

 Playing outside with his new lawnmower and swinging! He loves both!
