home renovation
We are renovating our old Victorian that has been rented out for a few years. The addition goes over the footprint of the first floor, it's pretty major. Rex loves going over to the house and getting into the forklift, playing with his tape measure and chatting it up with Charles, our contractor. We are expected to move in December, a month before new Baby Becker arrives.

the littlest becker
Rex is a big brother! The littlest Becker will be joining us in January. This picture was taken at 17 and a half weeks; we are now at the 20 week mark.
rex goes to preschool!
Rex enjoyed the first day of preschool at A New Leaf. Stephanie got to stay all day as the Helping Parent, assisting the children and teachers, and Rex enjoyed his first job as Helping Child. He got to stay close to Mom all day, and he wandered off to play when he felt comfortable. He loved his first day and is looking forward to exploring more.
summer shots
Our summer has gone by so quickly. It is only August and we have plenty of hot days ahead of us, but our summer trips and family visits have passed and we are transitioning back into a schedule and planning fall activities. We have spent lots of time in the pool, a must in Nashville! Gone blueberry picking, and eaten our share of sweet watermelon and southern peaches. And what summer wouldn't be complete without running through the sprinkler while watering the cherry tomatoes?
little drummer boy
Rex loves all things boy: balls (especially baseball!), trucks and cars, trains, etc... but what he's really into is drumming.
cousin dylan visits
Rex's cousin, Dylan, came to visit us in Nashville. Lots of quality time was spent together.
july: virginia beach
Our second family visit was to Virginia Beach to spend some time with Nana and Pop Pop, along with aunts, uncles and cousins. Rex had a blast.
july: martha's vineyard
July was filled with family! Rex enjoyed a week with the Becker's in Martha's Vineyard with his Grammy, Grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins... a packed house on the beach!

sweden in june
We were informed that Sweden in June was a beautiful time to visit. Unfortunately, when we were there, the weather was unseasonably cold and wet for the time of year. Rex had a great time celebrating Sweden's National Day, visiting Pippi Longstocking with friends Suzanne and Patrik and their children, Elliot and Tom. We went to Stockholm's best parks (they are all the best and have throngs of children playing at them), museums and play spaces. He also spent time with his Swedish girlfriend, Elsa, a shared Italian meal being the most romantic evening followed by bubble blowing so the parents could get a bit more conversation in, thanks Mathias and Gabriella! We also had a lovely time with friends Linda and Anders.
Rex's Godmother, Jamina, came along for the fun and to give mom and dad some DATE NIGHTS IN STOCKHOLM! Who says romance is over once you have kids? Thanks, Mina!
may
Here are some shots from a trip to Burgess Falls where we hiked, threw rocks, played in a waterfall, ate strawberries and Rex passed out on the ride home.
