I'm Coming Home

Again, it has been a while since the last post. Now its time for me to come home. Dad will be out here on Saturday, then the drive begins. I am so ready to go home. I'm going to just put some of
the recent adventures on here before leaving. This first one is from when Coppola and I went to the Hill Cumorah Pageant. We were posing with Moroni, Coppola's favorite character so far in the Book of Mormon. It was a great time. I was so excited to share the awesome places with him, and super excited that he actually loved them, especially the Sacred Grove. It was a long drive that ended with our hotel being booked out and we had to go to another place that smelled super-funky. The next photo is of Kristen, Derek, and I standing in front of the pond on the block of the Cristian Science Center in downtown Boston. Its a pretty cool place. I was really happy to have my friends be able to come out and visit. It was a nice break from the rush of APX. We were able to get out and see a lot of the city and surrounding area. And next is my baby boy, looking so handsome. Nigel is now six months old and terrified of everything. He is such a sissy! His fears now include boxes, spoons, bags, and just about anything you can carry. He is a brat, but wonderful. Nigel has single-handedly redefined lazy and obstinate. You can stand there and call his name all you want and make kissy noises and whistles, but he'll just stare at you, not moving an inch. He's not dumb, just not easily coerced into your plans. I am super happy for ya'll to meet him. He is a sweetheart. And finally for this post I want to include two photos of our kayaking trip in Boston. We rented kayaks for two hours and started upstream and went down the Charles River past Harvard, MIT, Fenway and all the such until we got to downtown with some incredible views. It was awesome, but super tiring. We had a great time going, but I struggled getting back to the docks. Well, I love everyone, and I can't wait to see you very soon. Steve
