Thanksgiving, Alan & Bill

Wow, Thanksgiving seems like a blur! It went by quick. Be sure to check out Jacob's Room on Snapfish for pics! It's astonishing to see that he and Regan are about the same size, albeit Jacob is much chunkier! Regan is very petite. At least Jacob didn't cry this year when Regan gave kisses and he was a very good boy with Stephanie and all the other aunts and uncles. He was very good all day. I contribute it to the fact that if he wanted someone, all he had to do was turn around and there they all were!

We were very thankful to have Alan home and out of the hospital. He gave us a scare last Saturday, going to the ER for chest pains. They ran all kinds of tests, keeping him until Tuesday, but so far, have found nothing. We're really going to have to stay on him to keep him resting when he needs to be!

Jacob is doing much better these days since starting on his herbal meds. He is almost a new boy! He's starting to take on a new tune with the way he goes down for naps/bedtime, but is still getting up in the middle of the night. And oh, did I forget to mention....he has 3 teeth now! Mamaw gets credit for noticing that one.

We did venture out to the mall today (Saturday after Thanksgiving). We were in search of one thing. Didn't find it, but the overall experience of being out wasn't too bad. We did however sit in the car in the parking garage for about 40 minutes while Jacob took his afternoon nap. We've got a busy weekend coming up next weekend when we go to Boone with Marcia, Alan and Breanna to get our Christmas trees. Just hope they can fit with all the stuff we have to take up for Jacob! I am looking forward to the trip. The memories, the local, and the cabin we'll be staying in.

Finally, we have some exciting news!!!
Bill received a promotion at work, proclaiming him Landscape Manager starting December 1st! This is a much awaited and well deserved position and also helps ease the budget burden with a little extra $$$! :) Much to his chagrin, his days will start a little later than he would like, but I suppose the pros outweigh the cons. There are still some changes shaking out, but we'll give you more details as they become available.

Congrats Bill!
