Baby steps...

We have been keeping ourselves busy this fall. Alex is still enjoying school and is learning so many new French words. Many times I have no idea what he is saying, but it sounds good! He is taking violin lessons at school as well and is starting to get the hang of it. He isn't a big fan of practicing yet, but I hope that comes soon.
We enjoyed the afternoon at Robbie and Betsy's annual leaf crawl. So many leaves, so many kids, an abundance of toys and treats! The boys had such a great time and so did we. Fletcher dressed up for his first Halloween as Superman. Alex was a very cool Optimus Prime.
Fletcher is starting to take some steps! He is very hesitant yet, but has started taking a couple steps here and there. He gets around very quickly by crawling, so he prefers that still. He is growing like a weed, has a mouthful of teeth, and loves to "chatter". He adores his big brother. The two are just wild together.
Wil is heading up north this weekend with his oldest son to hunt. Hopefully they have a good trip and get some deer. He will come back to a new job waiting for him and we are so happy that one has finally come around for him!
It's hard to believe how fast this year is going. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and then the countdown to Christmas/Alex's 6th birthday! I wish I had a pause button to slow things down a little.
