An Interesting Month

November always revolves around Thanksgiving. The first part of the month is usually lost in the anticipation of family, football, and turkey. Apparently, that is what happened to us this year, because we have no pictures from the month of November. I usually provide some updates with accompanying pictures, but I checked the camera for our monthly update and there's nothing on it. Oops.

We did have a pretty full month. Nate wrapped up his first season of t-ball, and his first trophy is proudly displayed on our fireplace mantel. We got the Christmas decorations up extra early in anticipation of Melissa's family coming to town for Thanksgiving. We were blessed with the opportunity to celebrate Thanksgiving with Melissa's grandfather. Three of his four children were able to make the trip to Texas to be with him. I was able to get some great video of him working a few laughs for the camera. He may be sick, but he hasn't lost the ability to make you smile. Nate and I played a lot of football and baseball over Thanksgiving. We visited my parent's house on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend and got the chance to hang out with them for a while.

I am no longer working in the lumber industry. Dad and I are starting our own business and should have it up and running sometime next year. I will provide more details in the coming months.

Melissa is doing an incredible job at her school. She is truly a gifted teacher. Nate and Anna are growing up faster than I can blink. Below are a few pics we were able to take this past month. Sorry for the lack of pics. Our December calendar is already full, so we'll definitely have more pictures for next time. Until then, here's a classic Nate moment for the Christmas season.

We picked up Nate from Bible Study on Wednesday, and he had made a manger scene in arts and crafts out of those little foam pieces that I can't describe. Hopefully, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, we asked him who was in his manger scene. He proudly replied, "Jesus, Mary, and Jophus!" Merry Christmas from the Eickenhorsts.

Nate and Anna, laid back, eating, and watching TV.

Anna, that pretty smile isn't going to get you a cell phone. Okay, maybe it will.
