Well, I am e-mailing you at work because I will be able to sneak in some writing time, as this little boy of mine at home keeps me very busy until sleep time.



Get this, last night Tann decides to sleep over. So, I was SO very tired that I went to my room (bed was free of marshmallows) to watch a movie. This was around 6:30. The two of them stayed up until 8pm, talking and playing away. He loves to watch his Baby Einstein before bedtime.



Anyway, Tann came and slept in my room, but, you know what a night owl she is. So, she brings Milo into my bed around midnight so that she can watch TV in the living room (remember, Milo's crib is in the living room...).



Anyhow, about 30 minutes after that, Milo wakes up ready to party! He starts climbing all over me, kissing my face (which is really an open mouth full of slobber, but it's his kiss none-the-less), and laughing.
Thankfully, Tannith came and got him and the two of them (with you in spirit I'm sure as this was probably a part of your departing
lecture...), stayed up until 2am playing. Sigh....am terribly tired
today.



Milo started taking a few steps the day after his first birthday. he is so cute and wobbly. So, he should be fully walking any day now. He has almost out grown your Nike's you got him, and I'm a bit sad about that.
They were too cute. Remember when you got them you said he can wear them when he's about 3, well, not quite, right?!



He still is not talking, except for Momma and Odi. All the animals are Odi. You should see Odi run and hide though when Milo goes to play.
Milo really is disrupting his quiet depressing winter laziness. Milo likes to climb on top of him and scream. The other day Milo climbed on top of Ollie on the couch. Ollie then decided to leap off and he took Milo with him. It was so funny!



Well, I will send you some pictures. I understand your e-mail takes a bit to download, so I won't attach any to this e-mail.



Take care, we love you and Miss YOU!!!



Love Tuss

Merry Christmas From FIJI

So we had a great conversation with Elder Stu Jakins on Thursday morning, it was 6:30 Friday morning for him when we called.

Dad asked what he had for Christmas lunch, he said baked beans on toast (he was kidding).

He is known as the "Whiteboy" on his island of 8000 people and only 14 LDS members. One of the investigators of the church kept asking where "White-boy" was from, he said he's from America.

Stu said that there are some random tourists on Levuko, his island, he said their fijian sounds funny and when he asked his companion (a native) if he sounds that bad, his companion didn't say anything.

Go ahead and email me any funnies or insights from your conversation with Stu on Christmas.

Email From Stubot

Yeah im definetely on an Island.
I'm being shaped for my future whether I like it or not :D But im not going to give up on because I know that in the end it's going to be good and if I give up now i give up on the next hard thing. The members here are really nice and so is my companion ^-^ there was a worm in the bathroom today and my first thought was uch gross then my second thought was of Dale haha. My apartment is nice it's like a mobile home and it's in Levuka.
If you google earth Levuka my companion and I go up the hill behind Levuka a lot that's where most of the members live and what not. I definetely don't have your problem here. I sweat even in the night time =P and when it rains I also sweat because the clouds raise the tempterature or something to that affect.
By the way did you think of Sister whatsherface saying it wouldn't last a year today?(yesterday) haha +1-679-995-4086 It will be easier for you to call me on your Christmas day, I worked it out and Im pretty sure if you call me at like 11:30 your time it'll be around 6:30 here or maybe 7:30...either way i'll probably be up.
Oh and one more thing there was a storm the other night lighting would flash and the whole room would be white and then a few seconds later thunder that shook the house would follow. It was quite the adventure.
Oh also I have no scriptural evidence but im pretty pretty sure that Satan actually controlls mosquitos so if you could send some deet in the next package that would be great. ^-^ ok now to get back to work.
Luvemo,
Elder Jakins
