Fall Fun...

We have definitely been slacking here for a few months - correlated with how much Jackson is on the move! September brought a much-needed but rather spontaneous vacation to Bermuda to end the summer before Kevin started his job. We had tried to plan something for 3 months, and wound up just doing it a mere 2 weeks out - and took Jackson. We kept trying to explain that he was the luckiest 13 month old in Bermuda, but he didn't really get it. We had a great time - lounged by the pool (well, lounging is confined to a 45 minute attention span, but we'll take it), swam in the ocean, played in the sand, and explored the town. Our hotel had views of the harbor and the beach, and everyone was really friendly. All in all - we can't wait to go back! And even better- Kevin is loving his job, so coming home happy :)

October brought some real Fall weekends, beginning with a long-standing Loudoun tradition of the Waterford Fair, which Jamie, TJ and their kids came home for. It was a warm day and Jackson seemed to enjoy the guys playing old school instruments, the hayrides, and getting on a tractor for the first time.

My family all went to a lakehouse for Columbus Day weekend, so it was great to have the cousins together just a week later. Jackson loved watching everything his big cousin Chambers did, and Kav is the happiest baby - he just cooed the whole weekend. After 3 weekends travelling, we were happy to be home and resting up, though it did involve a week of crying it out to get Jackson back on schedule - but all's well that ends well ;)
