We have been so busy these past months. We did get a house- a townhouse, we're in Northern VA!- and it was about 2 1/2 weeks after Beckham Noah was born. It feels like a whirlwind since then! And before I knew it, Beckham is nearly four months old and I still have several boxes sitting, ignored, in a presently unneeded room. Regardless...here are some pictures from my favorite time of year: FALL!!!




Mason loves Beckham so much. I can tell he is VERY excited for the day when Beckham can finally play with him. He is much 'too' interested at times. At least we have only had 'accidental' injuries so far.

Our sorry excuses for Halloween costumes! I'll just tell you that Tony and I are supposed to be Jedi. Not like you could tell ; )

Mason is LOVING Halloween candy. At least, what mom and dad haven't stolen.

Beckham's first haircut! It was sooo long up on top. Now he just has a little mini-hawk.
One morning not too long ago, Mason came running into our bedroom, grinning ear to ear. He had learned to climb out of his crib. He is now having many fun adventures in his toddler bed. At least, sometimes he's actually IN the bed.
Beckham is such a happy baby. We are so happy to have him join the family!
Little Master Yoda at Fair Oaks Ward Trunk or Treat.
We went to a farmers market that had these cute little wagons to tote your things around in. Mason got to go for a ride.


He was in LOVE with all the 'pun-kins'!


This dog at a different market had scary crazy eyes. Mason was really excited to play with him until the dog picked up his head (he had been lying down) and looked at him with his crazy eyes. It took Mason a while to warm up after that.
Mr. Handsome. Not sure what he's wearing, so don't ask.

An example of 'almost' sleeping on the mattress!

A surprise party for my good friend Julie. Her husband planned a girls night out bowling. I think I barely scraped past last place in scores. But, it was a lot of fun. Thanks to Joe and others who helped put it together!
I got these for a friend as a personal joke. I just can't believe they make them this big! I had to try them on. I just had to.
Mason helped me make 'punkin' sugar cookies. He was doing great rolling out and cutting the dough until the cookies started coming out of the oven. That's when he realized they were actually edible cookies instead of just playdough. He was so happy to get a finished product!

My friend Alisa's Halloween party at her parents' house. We rounded out the evening with a few rounds of Rock Band.
Many of my cousins all decided to visit a few weeks ago, so we got everyone together that we could. It's been a while since this clan has gotten together! It was so much fun. I'm glad everyone could make it.


My cousin Stacey made the cakes. One for a birthday cake (the snowman, in honor of me!) and a baby shower cake.

Adrienne and I had these boys 9 days apart. Everyone kept confusing which was whose since their hair color is...unexpected! I've got her little guy and she's got mine. So cute!
Cathy holding little Chloe, Lindsey's newest addition. Little sweethearts!

It's always a party when Cathy's around! These were on my birthday.
Tony took hours, literally, making these fancy decs for my gifts. Thanks, honey, for making it a great birthday! And also thanks to my mom and family. They helped, too : )
Yoda trying on his costume for Grandma and Grandpa.

Mason and his cars. That boy can nearly always be found carrying at least a few around in his arms like so.

One of my favorite pictures ever. Such great little kids.
Ashley's birthday cupcakes. Prettier every day (Ashley, not the cupcakes, that is)!
Tony loves our children so much. And they love their daddy ; )
