School Almost Over! (for the semester)

We've had another fun week. Brian has finished his classes for the semester and is in study mode for finals. His last one is on Friday, and we are excited to be done! We are half way through law school now! Also, today is actually 3 years since we got engaged. It doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess it was.



On Saturday we got to go to The Forgotten Carols with Grandma and Grandpa Wheeler and Shannon. It was very nice. We even got to hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's house for a little before we went.

Taking a nap after reading a good book.p.s. Happy Birthday, Natalie!

December

This week has been great! Brian went to L.A. last Sunday to interview with a few firms. Since he was gone, Robbie and I decided to go to the Bean Museum for Family Night. They have a new display coming of a White Rhino. We saw the form of it, but they haven't put the skin on it yet so we'll have to go back. This is just the head of another White Rhino they have (on the left). *Fun fact: The White Rhino is not actually white. It came from the Dutch word "wiet" meaning wide. It's lip is wider than other rhinos. (see picture)


This butterfly is made up of thousands of small butterflies.

Then on Wednesday, Brian got a call from Quinn Emanuel (one of the firms in L.A.) and was offered an internship this summer! We are so excited!

On Thursday, we went to Robbie's 6 month check up with the doctor. He is 16 lbs. 15 oz. (39 %) and 27 3/4 inches (88 %). He's pretty much a long, skinny dude. The doctor also told us he has "great trunkal strength", and that he should be sitting up very well by the end of the month. We have been working on it and he is getting better! (This is the reason for his "great trunkal strength". He does this quite often and will hold it for a long time.)

On Saturday, we went over to the Fabela's to watch the BYU football game against SDSU. Kaiya and Robbie got to play.

There's the "trunkal strength" thing again. p.s. BYU beat SDSU!
On Sunday we decided to take a nap.
