"I don't like tow trucks"

Neither do we, Jake! Mommy's car has been acting funky, so away it went on a tow truck tonight. Jake at first did not like the tow truck and it's loud sounds and lights. When I explained what the man was doing and held him at the door, he loved watching the car go up the ramp and onto the bed of the truck..although he was a little confused as to why it was being hauled away!

It wouldn't be a holiday week w/o one of us having car issues! I know this car is older, but really it works just fine (most of the time) and I have no desire for a car payment! So..let's hope it is fixed and cheaply!

We are headed to MA/NH for thanksgiving, with the idea that Jake and I would go early Wed morning and Alex would follow later that night, as he has to work that day and needs his own car to come back early to work yet again on Friday. Pending the outcome of the car, who knows what our plans will bring now. We are 100% going to see my family one way or another!

Thanksgiving, giving thanks, gratitude, grateful. All of the above! The Gregson family is grateful for it all..although we may have car issues right now, we will survive! The semester is nearing an end and we are all getting closer and closer the goals we have set for ourselves. I am so proud of our family!

Yesterday as Jake and Daddy were about to go upstairs for bedtime I walked over to give them our routine group hug and Jake smiled so cutely and just put his arm around my neck and the other around Alex and pushed us gently together for a smooch. I am so grateful that he is at the age where he loves to see his parents show affection. It's not like we are overboard about it..but I want Jake to grow up in a family where he isn't afraid to hug or give a quick smooch here and there. I want him to know that he is loved and to show him that his mom and dad love each other to the moon and back.

We wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and are so very grateful for the amazing family and friends that we have!
