Fall time fun!


I forgot to include a picture of the back of the house last time. The bump out is our morning room where we will be enjoying lots of yummy meals made by Chef Jay!
 We had a wonderful weekend in the Poconos last week. Quinten received lots of hugs and kisses from GM & GP and were surprised when Gramps (Jason's dad) and Aunt Jody when they showed up with over 20 balls for him. We were all very excited to see Callie, and Quinten could not get enough of playing in the leaves. Here are a few pictures.
 GM Jeanne was throwing piles of leaves up in the air and he loved watching them fall!
 More falling leaves!
 Quinten is trying to throw some leaves himself.
 Playing in GP Bud's newly raked pile.
 Posing with Mommy!
 Laughing with GP Bud!
Drumming on the giant pumpkin.
Callie really misses Jason:(
"Hey Mommy, look at this cool blade of grass I found!"
The next weekend we spent at the beach house...only 6 more until we move in!
Kathy and Mark were able to stop on the way back down to Georgia before they head south for the winter.
Quinten enjoyed his first Quesadilla when we went out to a delicious Mexican dinner.
Quinten is telling me that the cat says meow!
Showing the cat the cool truck Grandma Kathy bought him.
 On the way "home" from the beach we stopped at a pumpkin farm.
Quinten went on his first hayride and picked a pumpkin for Daddy to carve.
 His favorite part was the teepee.
He had a blast dancing around making Indian sounds inside of it.

Quinten is learning so much these days. It is amazing how much he understands. He can find a ball almost anywhere we go and dances every time he hears music. He says, ball, tickle tickle, dog, Mama, Dada, and signs more, milk, and eat.
Update on Casa de Kusheba...
The door will be black but most of the exterior is finished. Landscaping should start this week.
The trim on the interior should also be completed, to include our beautiful kitchen cabinets. Drywall is done and we should even have our first coat of paint on.

Back to School

We took Quinten for his 2nd haircut.
He did a great job holding still, as long as Daddy kept him distracted with toys or puffs!
Quinten is very happy to be back to school with his friends and teachers. It is a whole new world now that he can walk. His new teachers are Shay and Amy. Thank goodness Miss Jennifer moved up to his new class with him, he definitely feels more comfortable having her there and loves her hugs throughout the day.
Quinten is going through some separation issues...can you blame him after spending so much time with us this summer. Drops offs have been a little bit of an issue in the morning, but as you can see they have gotten a lot easier for him and Daddy. Here he is to busy playing to even look up and say goodbye.
Waking up and getting ready for school and work is another thing we are adjusting to.
Quinten looking a bit possessed!
One of my favorite things is when Quinten wakes up he picks his head up smiles and then lays back down and goes back to sleep.

Quinten has a bit of a cold, so we stayed in Wilmington this weekend 
and did some of his favorite things.
 Quinten's version of heaven!

We were all going through a little dog withdrawal, since Callie is in the Poconos, so we kicked off our weekend with a trip to the dog park and to PetSmart. Quinten was all smiles and got to pet many different dogs. We are all looking forward to finally seeing Callie next weekend!

We took our first walk through of the house.
It is amazing how quickly the process is going electricity and plumbing are done. Drywall and insulation are going up this week and we are about 8 weeks away from move in. 
WAHOO!!!
