Happy Thanksgiving from Ohio! We hope everyone has had a blessed year. We have seen a lot of blessings - Nathaniel's home from Iraq, Greg is now senior pastor of FairCreek Church, Lauren is now a college freshman and is doing very well, Micah has adjusted to high school with flying colors (he made straight A's his first nine weeks!) and I am subbing in the libraries and teacher's assistants positions in Beavercreek Schools. God has been good to us and this Thanksgiving we are truly grateful for all of His provisions for our family.
Filling up plates! We had the traditional Thanksgiving feast including 3 kinds of potatoes. Apparently, no one is on the Atkins diet because there were carbs galore and not a whole lot of protein.
Thanksgiving at the Trout's - we stayed home this year because Lauren went in to work this morning at 8am to get ready for the mad rush tomorrow. We missed eating with the Rutherford clan but it was nice not to travel. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
A trout carving a turkey - how cool is that!
After dinner, we loaded up the car and went for a photo shoot. Thanks, fam, for indulging my camera habit. We went to the Greene and even got a passerby to take pictures of us all together. We'll share them soon. Kim's really happy to have Nathaniel home this Thanksgiving -everyone is!
What can I say - 24 years and he's still knocking me off my feet!!
Lauren finally has another female in the family to help counteract the effects of two brothers.
Getting everyone to cooperate is quite a feat. 
I wonder what secrets Lauren has that she's telling the elephant - probably that she can't believe her brothers are so crazy!
Of course, Micah was fascinated with the electrical outlet in the elephant's behind!
