MERRY CHRISTMAS

Dear family and friends,

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! We are so grateful to have this special season to remember the birth of Christ and spend extra time thinking about his birth and life! Please take the time to look at some of the things on this link: http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=6be803bb4c19d110VgnVCM100000176f620aRCRD&locale=0

Thanks for all those who have sent cards-I love the photo ones! I haven't decided how I feel about sending cards--the list just gets so big, so we kept it under 10-so we aplogize but hopefully we can get the computer fixed in a couple weeks and get some fun photos up...lots of love, Elizabeth, Saki and Meresiana

Computer Down

Dear Family and Friends,

Our computer is broken, and I'm unsure when it will be fixed, so blogging and email responses will be spuratic. Please accept our apologies. Our fun news-we now have a 8 week old black kitten with green eyes! We are very lucky it is patient with Mere poking it and loves to play wildly and is willing to be held too. A very fun and good natured kitten!

love to all this Christmas Season! May we all slow down to focus on Christ, the reason for this wonderful time of year! Elizabeth, Saki and Meresiana

11 month portraits

Meresiana is now 11 months old, meaning in less than a month she will no longer be a baby! In some ways time has flown, though many sleepless days and nights have dragged. Every month she is even more fun and I never thought I would miss having a baby, but I'm starting to! Good thing I'm two months pregnant :)






Saki and I made a goal to attend the temple once a month, so as he had this weekend off, we decided to go Sat. We drove up and back in one day and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The San Diego temple was beautifully lit up with Christmas lights, but my camera doesn't work well in the dark. I am so grateful for the temple and the blessings and peace I feel there!

temple and relaxing at home-Saki surprised me with a movie and a chocolate silk pie Wednesday after scouts!!!
sorry-I don't know why they're posting sideways...

When Saki was at the temple I played with Mere at the park and then Saki watched Mere while I went. Mere really enjoyed spinning the drivers wheel and going down the slide on her stomach (I kept my hand on her so she didn't do a face plant at the bottom. She's not walking yet, but she's very agile and unfortunately has no fear of falling, so she would crawl right off a ledge if she could.
