We were glad to have Nate home for a week at Thanksgiving. We had not seen him since last Christmas, so this was his first visit to Maryland. Matt arrived at dinner time on Tuesday, so we had three full days with both of them together. Aunt Sandi, Uncle Bob, Lauren and Katelynn came for dinner on Thursday which was great fun. And, we spoke with all the brothers who weren't home by phone--even Ben who had gotten a sunburn on Thanksgiving Day in summery South Africa. So much to be thankful for!
On Friday we went to Washington, D.C. so that Nate "Boticelli" Crum could see "his painting" in the National Gallery--remember that fine Adoration of the Magi he did for Renaissance Art History class? We didn't see any of Thomas "Giotto" Crum's sheep in the museum, however, for some reason. Those who didn't tour the museum walked the Mall looking at all the monuments from Lincoln to Washington. Then the whole gang went to the Air and Space Museum.
Matt drove back to Indiana on Saturday, and Nate flew to Texas where some friends met him. Nate is now back in Louisiana, recovering from oral surgery today; he had all four wisdom teeth extracted this morning. He has three days off to recover.
