Gush

I keep thinking I ought to blog, but can't think of much interesting to say. Our most exciting news always seems to be the cold extreme weather of North Dakota, or Ben being so overworked we pray the end of this assignment will end soon. What else can we tell you without being too boring?
The boys are doing great. They are so full of energy but are learning so much. Jeffrey makes breakfast by himself nearly every morning and does a great job. William is in charge of the dogs and does so well. Abel wanted something to be in charge of too, so he is now in charge of snack time. They all help cut and gather wood for our stove and even take out the garbage! It is fun to watch them grow up and learn responsibility. Jeffrey is obssessed with China lately. He has a chinese art kit and is learning the ways of their art, and he reads books and learns everything he can about China. We keep meaning to call David Benge on a weekend to see if he can teach Jeffrey a few words. Dallin is in his 3-year-old possessive state, but is sweet and says the sweetest prayers. Benny Walker is as adorable as anything you can imagine. He already does puzzles, which amazes me and he jabbers all the time, with a smile that is contagious.
Anyway, I really just wrote to say how much we miss all of you. We love you all.
