normal life

Some pictures as of late...

enjoying a beautiful fall day with Chad's parents at the park in downtown Zionsville

We didn't end up trick-or-treating this year since the boys were both recovering from croup and it was very gross outside, but a friend gave me a giraffe costume to use and Creighton thought it was fun to wear.  maybe it will still fit next year... he looks super cute in it

Beck has suddenly decided that he thinks it's fun to push his own cart at TJ's (before he was too nervous.. he's my kid that asks to be strapped in, while Creighton fights the strap and manages to wriggle out of it :)).  He does a good job of staying close to me... perhaps too close when he rams the back of my foot.  I've also found some surprises when unloading the groceries of things he thought we needed. :)

During a recent photo session with the talented Andrea, she told Beck to give me a kiss for the picture.  I started to offer him my cheek, when he turned my face to give me a kiss on the lips.  Such a sweetie!

Mr. Beck turned 4!  Dani made the cute cake, perfect for a little boy.  One of the things Beck agreed to (before he turned 4) was to stop sucking his fingers and get rid of his blankie when he turned 4.  I think he's back-tracking on that statement now.  :)  

 Playing outside, always a favorite pass time.  Beck loves digging and Creighton is usually found pulling something around.  I'm already dreading winter a little... we're going to be inside way too much!
