Eckert Holiday House Tour

Since our house was decorated so nicely for Christmas, we decided to make a holiday video to show the house off for our friends and family via EckSpot. Note Cassie's enthusiastic role as the dancing host. Enjoy!

Cassie's Christmas Concert

Cassie sang with her kindergarten classmates on Monday evening at the Bishop Leibold School West Campus Christmas Concert. She did a very nice job and looked beautiful.

Happy Holidays from University of Dayton Career Services!

Welcome Dylan Frankovis!

Little Dylan Frankovis arrived on Friday, December 5. Welcome to Dylan, a future reader (and perhaps current observer) of EckSpot. Dylan is the son of our dear friends Matt and Meg Frankovis. I have the privilege and honor of being Dylan's godfather. We are all heading up to Wisconsin for Dylan's baptism on January 18. For more pictures of Dylan see his Picasa site at http://picasaweb.google.com/megjanefrankovis/BabyDylan#.

Trip to the Smoky Mountains

Last weekend we had a great time at the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee with cousins Johnny and Vicky. We stayed at a Wyndham and really enjoyed exploring the National Park and shopping areas.
