October - a Few Firsts

In October, Brooks started eating finger food on his own! He is about 10.5 months here.

Look at all those teeth! He also started crawling on Oct. 1, and tried to go straight out the front door!

He went to his first MSU football game and it was unseasonably hot. I slathered both kids w/60 sunscreen, then hovered over them like a mama hen trying to shade them.

After the game - passed out - but not sunburned!

Brooks loves to watch our dog Miller walk around outside and then beat on the glass door panes. He likes to beat on anything and everything. The louder the better!



Delia got to dress up several times for Halloween, one of which was our church's Harvest Festival. This year she was the mermaid Ariel.

It was way too hot for Brook's fleece dragon outfit, so he just went in his monster jammies.

Pumpkin carving!
Bouncers were a new addition to this year's festival.


You can't tell, but Brooks was about to pull the entire backdrop down. Grady calls him our little "meathead."

The next opportunity for costumes was Pumpkinpalooza in downtown Starkville. This is Delia's friend Amelia dressed as Dorothy.

This is Jane Kimmel, one of our friends from church, who happens to be a Buford!

This is Brooks' best friend from his class, Sims.

What a princess!

And in October Grady and I saw B.B. King for the first time! He played on campus on a Tuesday night! He is 86!

Our seats weren't this close, I just walked up to the stage with a bunch of folks after the show. Hearing "The Thrill is Gone" live was pret-ty unbelievable.
