At last!

Today was an eventful day. Kyle took his very last final . . . ever! He is now finished with his Masters of Electrical Engineering program at Arizona State. Kyle has been a student for 3 of our 4 years of marriage so we are really looking forward to having more time together.

Brooklyn started walking tonight. She's been really close for a while but she finally did it, and many times. We counted up to 10 steps. We are so proud of her. Ethan got a real kick out of it too. We had lots of fun getting her to walk to mama, then to dad, then to Ethan and Mickey, and Pooh Bear, etc.

The other day we also noticed that she is getting her very first tooth. Finally! Ethan was about 7 months old when he got his. Brooklyn is now 13 months old. It has been nice though not having to worry about brushing her teeth. She hasn't seemed affected by it yet. We noticed it the other day while I was tickling her and she laughed. It isn't poking out quite yet, but we'll try to get a picture as soon as it is more visable.

Hooray for graduating! Can't say that we found any extra time when Ryan was done though!
That is such a cute picture of Brooklyn. Can't wait to see you over Christmas!

That's wonderful that there won't be any more time taken up with homework. What a relief! I'm amazed at how much you two always accomplish (gardening, etc.)... I don't know how you did it with school. I really can't believe how big Brooklyn gets every time I see her. Walking?! Seriously - time flies.

Congrats to Kyle!!! That must be so nice to be done and what an accomplishment! And congrats to Brooklyn too on her incoming tooth! I didn't get mine either till I was 14 months old. She is such a doll!
