I can now breathe, so I figure that I should get this thing written before the month is over and the new year is upon me. SO, November…I am trying to think what happened way back then…when the world was still innocent and fresh. I think I spent the majority of the beginning of the month nagging slacking students. That lasted up until Thanksgiving break. During the break, We decided that we would spend the time remodeling our home to some extent. So, Morgan found a business that was liquidating some laminate flooring. We bought enough to redo the floor in our back room and the kitchen. We installed it during our spare moments. It really looks rather nice. We are almost finished with it now. We only have to put the trim back on the walls and do some paint touch up. Anyway, since this year is my parent’s 30th wedding anniversary, they wanted to do something nice and go on a vacation, but their anniversary lands on the day after Eljay gets home from his mission (the 18th). My mom didn’t think it would be a good idea to leave a newly returned Eljay home alone in a big house with only the little sister Lindsay for company, so my parents decided that they would take their anniversary vacation over Thanksgiving break which meant that said little sister, Lindsay, came and stayed with us. Morgan and I prepared a meal that was way too big for all of us, so I invited over some of my students and my TA (who is conveniently engaged to one of my students) for dinner. At least we had a decent number to gather around and eat all of the food that we prepared. After the dinner, Kyla and Daria took my students to the living room and proceeded to school them all in a game of Wii Mario Kart. I figure that is how I can humble students in the future – have them be beaten by three year old girls. Awesome. After the break, I was back to nagging students, but this time I figured out some scare tactics. I think it shook enough of them up to get them working. That was about our November. December will look crazy (and has been crazy) but that will be next months entry – that will come in more or less on time.
God Bless,
Derik, Morgan and the Robertsons

I here-by challenge your daughters to a game of Mario Kart Wii!
Haha, I love that game, but have only played it a couple times. We own it... I just don't find much time to play.
I'm glad your home improvement is going well. I've let mine start to fester, and have only recently started working on it some more.
