Eli Clause Is Coming To Town

Attention east coast friends and family: we're flying back for Christmas!

One of the great benefits of the quarter system (and there aren't many) is that Eric's classes are over by Thanksgiving and don't start back until the 2nd week of January, so we have a nice long break! We're flying in on December 18th (which Eric is calling Black Tuesday for reasons relating to his 30th birthday) and out again on January 3rd. We're actually flying in and out of Nashville, TN, because it was much, much cheaper (if we may brag for a moment...about $330 for TWO tickets at CHRISTMAS!). We'll see our friends in Nashville, then make our way east to NC and see everyone there. Eli is excited to meet you all!

Here's a video that Jessa took on Halloween...you can see how alert and aware he is, and how expressive his face is. You also get a sense of just how much this kid spits up...all the time. We're told that Eric did the same thing when he was a baby. Eli actually has seen the doctor about this (which was causing irritation from stomach acid), and things are getting better. Anyway, enjoy the video!
