Our good friends, Danielle & Dave with their daughter Emily, visiting us at the end of September. Jackson enjoyed playing with Emily. We managed to get them into a bubble bath together which was fun to watch and capture in photos!
At the start of October, Jason, Jackson and I took a trip down to Myrtle Beach, SC. We realized that this was our first "Just the 3 of us" vacation ever! No help from the grandparents - and yes we actually survived! The weather wasn't that great but we managed to have fun anyway. We had fun digging in the sand and chasing Jackson on the beach. He was constantly saying, "Mommy run fast" and "Daddy run fast." Perhaps we have a future track star on our hands. Or at the very least, he may help me stay in shape. Our big and only outing while at the beach was to the Ripley Aquarium which had lots of neat fish, sharks and other sea creatures to explore. Jason and I had full intention of watching movies and reading when Jackson was asleep at night but we were both so exhausted that we were in bed by 9 just about every night. Boy have times changed!
Halloween was great. Jackson loved being a fireman. Leading up to Halloween, he probably wore his costume on average 4 times a day. He really got into the festivities and especially loved getting lollipops.
And I can't end this blog without a BIG YIPPEE for the awesome presidential election results! "Yeah Obama" as Jackson still says every time he sees our Obama sign outside or when he's featured on a magazine/newspaper cover or on TV.
We're looking forward to hosting our families at our house for Thanksgiving this year. Happy Thanksgiving to all! We'll resume after turkey-day!
