A Name For a Nutcracker?

So I'm pretty good at stating the obvious, so that's what I'm going to do just now: It's been awhile since I last posted. Several months in fact. Leads me to wonder what I've been doing with my life. And maybe if you're reading this you are wondering too.
I recently went on a vacation with the parents and got to see some extended family in Wisconsin. Also my aunt gave me a huge nutcracker as pictured below:

Yes, I believe this is quite awesome, but am still trying to figure out a name for him. I feel it needs to be something regal.

In other news I have been helping at my church with a time called Alpha. I help with the kids. It has been a great and wearing experience for me. But in the end I do love kids. And one little thing can make it all worth it. Such as a kid asking you to sit by them during the story. Here's why this was so heartwarming for me...this is a kid who I am constantly telling no and trying to make behave, who always had trouble listening to me, and now he wants to play with me and sit by me and misses me when I'm gone. It's so amazing to see God working in such a way.

And recently I have been learning how to accept help from others, allowing God to use others to help me in my life and understanding I can't do everything on my own.

I am also excited about the recent start of basketball season. Rock Chalk!
