Family

My family came in last weekend to see our new house. I was so excited because I love seeing the boys play together and as they get older, it just gets cuter! Luke is getting so big and is the sweetest little boy. Benji and Jack were partners in crime as they explored any and everything! On Saturday, we took advantage of the gorgeous day and set out for the park.

Happy Halloween!

Jack rocked his first Halloween! John and I carried him around the entire block, and he did great. He even managed to grab a piece of candy out of some of the bowls :) He didn't seem to mind the outfit too much either. I think we've got ourselves a trick-or-treater on our hands. It is crazy to think that next year he will be walking up to the doors himself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A monkey in the pumpkins

I finally found the time to get Jack to the pumpkin patch in his Halloween costume. I think I've got the cutest monkey in town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In and Around Virginia

Here are some more pictures from our trip.

 

 

 There was a box of toys waiting for Jack when he arrived!

 We ventured out to the D.C Zoo!

 

 

 

 Jack was getting sleepy, and I wanted a few more pics of him at the zoo so what did I pick...the prairie dog's bottom! Little did I know there was a statue of two prairie dogs playing just a little ways down.

 

 We had about 20 minutes to spare before our plane boarded so we let Jack play. The airport was closing due to Hurricane Sandy two hours after our flight so the airport was open to Jack!! He enjoyed crawling everywhere :) I think he wore himself out since he slept almost the entire flight home. Thank you!!!

 

LEAVES!

One of the main things I wanted to capture in Virginia is the leaves. Every time I saw a tree with gorgeous colors, I just smiled to myself and acknowledged the fact that I serve an amazing God! We walked to a little park by the Marshall's house that was perfect for pictures. I got some really cute ones, but I had to save many of them because I'm not sure which ones will be on our Christmas card!!! Jack really enjoyed the pile of leaves that Sara Catherine scooped up for him. He was really hamming it up for us!
