Planes, Trains and Automobiles....

What I did on my Thanksgiving break....

I took the plane.
I saw MANY a train!
And rode in a brand new automobile.

To meet this cute guy!
(Luke Jaron Holmes)

And play with this handsome boy!

And to eat turkey with these serious people.

Before we actually got to the turkey eating
though, there was some cereal consumption.

Jaron had shared "some" of his strawberry sections with Jayden.

But - he wanted more... So he tried the soulful gazing technique. And then the sneaky introduction of the finger approach. Neither of which actually worked.

But he gets points for trying.Here we have the eating machine consuming treats for good behavior after his haircut...Yes. There was a bit of stray hair comsumed too.

Did you notice the way he wears his long sleeve shirts? He likes to keep one arm free at all times. Maybe he has a bit of the g-grampa V abhorrence of having his lower arms covered?
Luke doesn't appear to like the idea of hair consumption.
Mr. Jayden has taken his role as BIG brother seriously.
He carries his personal garbage (yes, that does mean poopy diapers) to the garbage shoot down the hall.
He pushes Luke in the stroller -and"occasionally" lets mom help him. He points out items of interest during reading time to dad. And items of interest usually include trains. He's CRAZY about trains!
He keeps track of dad by dragging him along behind with the help of Mr. Monkey.

Meanwhile - Luke spends much of his time helping dad, and mom and gramma K to relax a bit. Which is exhausting work!But well worth it! Jayden takes his playtime seriously-

as well as the wearing of stripes.He knows his parents need some recreation time. Seriously!

Pondering the merits of phrenology, barber school or perhaps massage therapy?

Check out the "Wonder" outfit!
Doesn't he look remind you of wonder bread here?

Chilling on dad's knees - in the same position his dad loved at that age! Mental telepathy time.
Man I'm stuffed - look at my belly!

Can't get much cuter than this!
Wait! Yes you can!

Welcome Luke! He is adorable. That grin lets you know who he belongs to. He looks like both J and J. ... well AND J.

It's so great you got to go spend a bit of time with them all.

Love seeing the pics of everyone. They are a postcard family for sure.

Loved chatting with you yesterday, can't wait to see you in a few weeks.

Seriously adorable!! You really do have the cutest grand-babies! So glad that you are able to get around to see them as often as you do. I always love your commentary, I would have missed the finger and arm, too funny!!

That mister man Luke is a cutie, those eyes! What am I saying he is just plan cute. That goes with out saying with Jayden. He is a looker, very handsome!

Glad to hear the trip was a success. Now, what will you do for Christmas? Too many options, or should I say Grandbabies and not enough time! You need to retire and travel around seeing and staying with them, with maybe a cruise or two in between! Ah that would be the life!
