Fall Happenings...

So much has happened since we last posted! First of all, there was Halloween... although this is way late, here's our little guy all dressed up. We actually took him around trick-or-treating to a few houses and he was quick to catch on to the idea of reaching into the basket and grabbing candy.

Samuel is now almost 15 months old... and he is walking everywhere! No more crawling for him! Its so fun to see such a small little person walking around our house and exploring everything! One of his most recent activities is picking up something and finding a new "home" for it somewhere in the house... so far we've found the remote control in our laundry hamper, mommy's makeup in a wastebasket, socks in the toy box... and lots of other surprises who-knows-where, waiting to be found!

We also took a week-long trip to the Turks & Caicos islands at the beginning of November... thanks to Andrew's work! He had a week-long conference there and Sammy & Jessica were able to tag along. It is so beautiful there and we had a great time! We got to relax on the beach or at the pool everyday, Andrew got to drive on the left side of the road, and this is where Sammy mastered his walking! Here are some more highlights from the trip:

The main entrance to our resort - the Regent Palms

Sammy getting ready to go to the beach - all loaded up with sunscreen!

Here is the view of the pool with the ocean in the background - we pretty spent the afternoons at the pool or on the beach - Sam loved it because he is such a water-baby!

The pool had this very neat shallow edge around the whole thing - perfect for Sammy to walk & splash around in.

Here we are standing in front of the Grace Bay beach at our hotel - - they say that this island has the most beautiful beaches in the world!
The pool had these very neat lounge beds surrounding the pool with pillows and umbrella shade that we were able to relax on one day. :)

We took a snorkeling excursion one day and here's Andrew with one of the two conch shells he found! We got to keep the shells, and we even ate the conch inside... :)

Just a pretty one of the blue water...

Okay, that's it - you should be all caught up with us now! Happy Fall!
