Thanksgiving fun and more

We traveled to NM for Thanksgiving this year as usual. Jacob had a wonderful time being spoiled by all 4 grandparents and playing with his cousin Caleb. He really liked playing outside with the pecans and having Gramma (Denney) pull him in the wagon. At Granny's (Yerington) house he had a whole toybox of toys to play with but his favorite thing to do was load and unload a tin full of cereal box toys.
At the end of the day Jacob picks up all of his toys, well...mostly books and kisses his daddy's picture goodnight. Jon called the other morning and there was no doubt that Jacob remembered his voice. I put Jon on speaker phone and as soon as he started talking, Jacob leaned over and kissed the phone. Jacob then saw the dogs running around outside and looked at the phone and told his daddy all about it..."gog, gog, gog". His vocabulary is growing slowly but he talks all the time. Jacob's "gog" has very quickly grown bigger than Sammy, our black lab. He is 11 months old and probably a good 70lbs. Jacob loves to play with Tucker, and Tucker loves all the attention.
Jacob loves attention too as all kids do. He is not at all camera shy...

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love my nephew!!! He's the greatest! And what wonderful pictures. Man! I miss you guys. Tell Jacob hi and we love him and you and Jon. Caleb is getting louder by the day (may be a competition later...) and lots of hugs to you.
