We're Back!

Some of you may have noticed that we have not blogged in awhile, but we are back now! Our laptop finally bit the dust so we have not been able to do much on the computer and internet in the last month. Luckily, Gma Diane lent us her desktop so Mommy was able to do some work and homework in the meantime. We bought a new laptop on black Friday for a good deal. Daddy waited in line for 2 hrs to get it, but it was worth it! If you are wondering what the Eichmeier's have been up to in the last month....here ya go. Sorry for all the black and white photos, I guess I liked the edit button this time! Giving thanks...we know many families have been going through great loss and heartache
in the recent months, so we just want to give thanks for our happy and healthy family and friends.

Snuggling..Preston was battling an ear infection and eye infection in the middle of November and now he has a cold, so we have been doing a lot of snuggling. It seems like we wipe his runny nose every couple of minutes!

Frosting Cookies, getting up at 3am to go shopping, and Preston even went Christmas tree shopping!

Walking- Preston has been "officially" walking since Halloween. Here he is trying to join in the game of football that Daddy and his cousins were playing.

Visitors- We of course have had some visitors to our house in the last month, especially for the Iowa games. Jeremiah, Lynn, and Rowan Treloar visited us last weekend. Here is a pic of Preston of Rowan.

Aunt Molly visited us so Mommy and her could go to the musical "Rent."

Riding bikes- Gpa and Gma Eichmeier got this bike trailer for us so we could pull Preston along. We got out it out for a couple nice days in November and went on some bike rides. Preston enjoyed it!

Playing outside- we can't believe how nice the weather was in November! We took advantage of it and went to the park a few times.

Preston and Mommy going down the slide.

This is Preston's favorite thing to do at the park. He is not really old enough to walk over this holey bridge, but he sure tries!

Visiting Ameila- Amelia Updegraff was born in October and Mommy went and visited Amy and Amelia one day.

This brave little girl had heart surgery in the middle of November...and she is doing so well! Although I hear she likes to keep her Mommy up at nights :)

Taking a bath at Grandma Diane's

Vacuuming- Here is Preston "vacuuming" at Grandma's. He loves this little popper....and he has one at his day care too.
We don't have anything like this at home, but he loves to take cookie pans at home and run them on the ground like he is vacuuming.

Preston went to a Halloween carnival in Greene the last weekend in October. He is picking out a prize after playing a game.
