I hope that all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to spend time with both the Hanson’s and the Eigner’s during the weekend. We spent Thanksgiving with the Hanson’s at Erika’s Aunt Janie and Uncle Gary’s. This marked the first family function for Briley, the newest member of the clan. The kids all took turns holding baby Briley, with Ellie taking far and away the most turns! We then spent Sunday celebrating Gramma Mary’s 64th b-day with the Eigner clan at BUCA. Imagine a peaceful dinner with 9 kids under 10!
Erika and I also had attended two celebrations of life on Friday and Saturday. Donna Bzdok and Ella Hauschildt fought cancer with every ounce of energy and strength they had. Both of them have inspired many with their courage. Donna, a 44 year old wife and mother of two will be deeply missed by everyone in Brainerd. Ella who was 7, loved school and music and definately left her mark on many in her short time with us. Both the Bzdok’s and the Hauschildt’s are models of faith, strength and family. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they deal with their terrible loss.
Finally, for the first time in 9 years the Eigner’s will be cheering for a hockey team not named the Warriors. We(The Eden Prairie Eagle’s) have our first game tonight and it has been very difficult trying get all three kids in jackets and hats that don’t say Warrior Hockey. We will keep you posted.
Enjoy the Winter,
Ty
