Thanksgiving

We had a busy but very happy Thanksgiving. We were excited to meet our cousin Parker for the first time (Scott and Michelle's son). It was a struggle to get all 3 kids to sit still for a picture--I actually had to hold Jack down--but we finally got one! That's Jack and Parker with Alexis, who's looking like a model. Parker is 5 months, Alexis is 3 1/2 years, and Jack is 1 year 8 months.

Here's Uncle Bob with Parker.

Parker and me.

Jack was not overly thrilled to see me holding another baby.


Being with family reminded us of last Thanksgiving, when we went to Vermont. Jack has grown up so much since then!

Those who have met Lou know he is not what you would consider to be a brave dog. When all the relatives arrived, Lou got nervous and hid out in the sun room. Alexis found him and gave him some TLC.

Jack still has an undying passion toward ceiling fans. He was in heaven when Dad put him on this chair so he could reach the control panel for the fan in the sun room.

He'll also still play with light switches from time to time. He's playing with some here that he discovered hiding behind the curtain. I'm sure the neighbors were wondering why the outside lights kept going on and off.

Finally, a few videos. This one is sideways, but I thought it was too cute not to include. Jack took advantage of cousin Marty's height and had some fun at the dinner table.

Jack put on a show for everyone by sitting on his horse and dancing to the music it played.

I think Jack has developed a little crush on cousin Alexis. Toward the end of the night, he started following and chasing her around (or at least he tried to chase her).
