October 2010

Hello! October was quite an exciting month in our household! The Giants brought us many exciting and thrilling nights of baseball, culminating in a World Series championship that still seems toogood to be true. We told Jack that every night the Giants played in October was a national holiday that allowed us to watch TV....it left an impression on him....... he completes every phone call now with "Go Giants!" and believes every time the TV comes on the Giants are playing (even though the season has now been over for 2 weeks). We don't have the heart yet to tell him we won't see the Giants play again for many months.

October also brought many happy occasions and outings for for Jack and Brooklyn. With the weather turning "cooler" (mid 70's) we have been taking advantage, visiting many of the parks in the area every chance we get. Nonni accompanied us three to the train park one day (see photo), while another adventure took us to nana (see photo).
We also visited a farm where Jack an
d Brooklyn got to ride barrel trains, run in a haystack maze, climb through a pumpkin patch and even milk a cow (see photos).

Halloween brought another round of fun as we trick-or-treated our way through the library during story time Thursday (see photo) and down the Avenue of the Fountains on Saturday with our buddies Caley and Wyatt (see photo). Jack was dressed as a monkey and Brooklyn a red hot chili pepper. By Sunday we were trick-or-treated out (thank goodness cause it was Game 4!) and so Jack dressed up in his costume and answered the door for the kids who showed up for candy.
He greeted every person by telling them "we scored!"

October fun
culminated in
a Giants victory party with us dressing up in our orange best, watching the victory parade and eating
yummy
treats. There are photos of this too for your viewing pleasure. Looking forward to the fun and holidays November has to bring.

Love,
J, B,S & J
