Erin and Rich both have to work on Thanksgiving Day this week, but we managed to get both sets of grandmas and grandpas to visit our house last weekend for an early Thanksgiving celebration! Here's Erin "helping" Lloyd carve the turkey. (It was tast-EEE!)
Moby always thinks he's allowed to sit up at the kids' table. He looks BUSTED, doesn't he?
"Yahoo, it's time to EAT!"
Kathy joined Caleb and Noah at the kids' table, since Sarah didn't feel like sitting with her brothers. Lucas spent the weekend with his father.
Sarah's got the "prayer cube" in front of her and is ready to say grace before we enjoy our turkey dinner.

A couple of weekends ago, the entire family traveled 100 miles southwest (in a blizzard) to New Ulm, Minnesota, for Noah's first hockey tournament of the season. Alas, he suffered a concussion almost as soon as he stepped on the ice, and sat out the rest of the weekend. So no hockey pictures here ... instead, here are Caleb and Sarah beneath the big statue of "Herman the German" in New Ulm while we were out doing some geocaching.
Caleb wanted me to be sure to get a picture of him and Sarah standing atop the hill overlooking New Ulm.
Wow, Sarah really CAN fall asleep almost anywhere!
Noah and Caleb have had hockey practices almost nightly for the past few weeks, and they start their games this weekend. The season runs through mid-March, so you know where we'll be until then!
Sarah received her first official "homework" at preschool yesterday. She and daddy read a book about a pig and a pancake, then had to do some fun activities. We have entered a lottery to get Sarah into a STEM kindergarten (science, technology, engineering and math) next fall, and the lottery results will be announced in early February. It would be an all-day kingarten instead of the half-days she would attend if when went across the street to Edinbrook. Fingers crossed!
