October 2012

I can't believe that October has come and gone. It went by so quickly, but it was full of lots of fun! 

Outer Banks, NC

At the beginning of the month Quincy had fall break. We went to the Outer Banks with 12 other LDS law families.  The weather was kind of cold and rainy but we still had a great time.

 On the beach on a cold day.

 Jack was tired and was kind of scared of the waves at this point. 

 Even though that water was fairly warm Jack was afraid that it was so loud and moved. He eventually got used to it and enjoyed splashing a bit. 

This was the house we stayed in with half of the families.

While we were at the Outer Banks Jack learned to clap. He did it constantly for about a week and now won't do it anymore. It was fun while it lasted though. 

Fall Colors

We are really going to miss the fall colors here in Charlottesville. They are breathtaking and we can't seem to get enough of them. Here are a few pictures of the trees around the law school.

 Ever since Jack was born he has loved to look at trees. He really loves to feel the leaves in his hands and examine them (then tries to eat them).

Daddy is our favorite guy!

Quincy spent a large amount of time working on a paper he has to write to graduate from law school. It ended up being 98 pages! Needless to say we didn't see him much for a few weeks. Quincy always made sure he spend time with Jack and I though. Jack can't get enough of his Daddy. He always wants to be right next to him and do exactly what he is doing. This month Jack also said his first word. Daddy! He had never even made the Da sound but one morning he sat up, looked at Quincy and said "Da-Dee."

  Lunch time with dad.

Temple Trip

We went up to D.C. to go to the temple and enjoyed the fall colors the whole drive. We went with our friends the Tibbitts and swapped watching children so we could go in with our spouses. We had such a wonderful time. We'll definitely miss these trips with our friends.

Such cute, sweet boys that we sure love. 

Halloween

Jack had lots of fun dressing up for Halloween. I think he was super cute in his costume but I might be a bit biased. 

 Being attacked by the tiger is a daily occurrence in this home. 

 He already understands that candy is desirable. He must get that from his mommy . . . or daddy.

 We went trick-or-treating on the Lawn at UVA. A lots of the community comes out and the students that live on the lawn hand out candy. Lots of people but lots of fun. Behind Quincy and Jack is the Rotunda but sadly is being renovated.

Well, that is all for our busy month of October. We also survived the hurricane just fine. We were blessed that the storm wasn't too bad  by the time it hit us. Two days off of school for Quincy and rain which I love: Sandy was good to us. 

November is shaping up to be just a busy but there might not be as many photos next month.
