But, the great thing is that we now have internet!!! So, while Elai naps, we can update you on our oh-so-boring lives.
Events of the past few weeks:
1. The semester is over-ish. We took on too much this semester and now have a few more assignments to turn in to our very generous professors. We have a plan for this next semester and hopefully it works.
2. We joined Gold's Gym for our Christmas present. It includes child care while we work out and like always, Michael is seeing great results while I see nothing. I have started logging my food intake on caloriecount.com and it is actually a really great system. You get a letter grade for your day and for each food, you can put in your recipes, and you can add workouts. I am a fan. Hopefully it helps me to track the food I eat along with my exercise and I can see some results.
3. Elai is growing up! He got a present for Christmas from his Oma and Opa--a toddler bed! Michael put it together last night and Elai just loves it! He cuddles up on it and climbs up and down. It is a bit of an adjustment for us because he hasn't been napping quite so well (the toys are too easy to come by), but we love that he has such a great place to sleep. Thanks, Opa & Oma!
4. Michael got an internship! He recently focused his career path towards becoming an archivist, so when a local internship came to his attention for assisting a museum curator, he jumped at it and they picked him! It is a similar field and he is so excited. It will start in January and he can do as few or as many hours as he wants. Hopefully we can work it out easily enough. I am so proud of him.
5. Along with #4, we have been looking at Grad schools for Michael to get a Masters in Library Science. The top school is at UNC Chapel Hill. I am not too happy about going further from San Diego, but I love that we will be closer to loved family and friends! Also, less snow. Always a plus in my book.
6. Christmas is almost here and we are so grateful for family and friends and we love you all.

| He is too cute. We seriously made an adorable offspring. |
 |
| Nap time! |
 |
| Oh yeah, Elai learned how to draw. . . |
 |
| Elai is really good with the tree. He gets angry at the pinecone, loves to ring the bell, and is very good and being gentle when he touches the other ornaments. |
 |
| At the Ward Christmas party, Santa showed up and Elai had a blast. :) |
 |
| He freaks out when he sees this cookie tin. He cries until we give him some. Not the ideal breakfast, but hey, once in a blue moon I am just a pushover. |
 |
| Cuddling up for bed! |
 |
| Sound asleep in the big bed! |
