The Next Chapter!

On August 11, 2010 at around 6:15am, we welcomed the newest "littlest Beck" into the world. We had a wonderful home birth experience and after just 5 hours of active labor and 15 mins of pushing, this strong little boy popped out LOUD and perfect.

Grammy "Mimi" and our good friend Michelle Robinson were at the ready to keep big sister Kate busy while Daddy was able to support Julie in the final minutes and greet the little man as he made his debut.

Presenting Walter Erick Beck




We were thinking of a couple of different name combinations, but when he came out with his cute little "old man" face and sweet personality, Julie instantly said, "He is definitely a 'Walter'."

Walter Emil Osterberg was my grandfather on my mom's side of the family. He was a terrific and loving person who always made me, my brothers and cousins feel like champions. He taught me how to swing a golf club, pound nails, and control a soccer ball.

Erick is for my my good friend and hero Eric(k) Johnson. EJ has always been one of my favorite things about being alive. Geography and parental responsibilities have made it difficult for us to spend time together. I can't wait for EJ to meet this little nugget of love.

And here is Kate having a blast w/ a new hat:
