So I am sick with a cold and "enjoying" some rest time...if you can call it that...so I thought I would just send out an update on our family. Nova is four and enjoys playing with animals (his recent favorites are his mama tiger, baby tiger, two snakes, and owliver the owl), he is doing well with his lessons which consist of reading, writing, and fable tales, and he makes up a good story if you ask him. He is very good at telling me exactly what he thinks. He enjoys going to St. Louis to see the towers and the rainbow (the arch) and loves anything and everything we do there. Milo is taking great strides with his speech. He communicates more and more with words. He is still very physical in his affections, play and anger. We are working on using our words and not our fists to tell others how we feel. He likes having his nails painted and they mostly turn out pink (he loves pinkie pie) but he will choose blue for one or two nails to add some flair. He loves to copy dad when it comes to hygiene like shaving, putting on deodorant, and making sure his hair is nice. Nova likes all that too but not to the extent Milo does. Milo likes to copy his brother too and learns a lot of words by parroting what Nova says. Milo will be three in January and it is crazy to think that my little boys are getting so ginormous! We recently went to Indianapolis. Optimus Prime came to the children's museum and the boys thought it was the coolest thing. We also went to some art and history galleries which we enjoyed and walked along the canal and saw the ducks and geese. It was a great time! My friend Brook invited us to ride the combines while they harvested their late beans and the boys and I really enjoyed it. Beau is Brooks brother and we were riding with him and he let the boys drive and press buttons and look at the beans filling up the back. He explained how the combine worked and everything. It was fun! We just did our Primary Program and Nova refused to say his part and I sounded like I had a frog in my throat due to my cold but other than that it was good. Our family will hopefully be changing a bit this new year and I will be sure to share the secret when things get to be a bit farther along. Lets see who actually reads this huh *evil chuckle*. Well I want to wish Pi Good Luck with the move! I am sorry my phone needs to be replaced it had been picking up glitches so it has been eating up data so I haven't been able to get pictures. love you all!
