We are sorry we missed the great get together. We love you all and are still praying for you, Kirk and Cherrie and nanay. I am posting a few pictures. One of Grace on her blessing day. One of Ben's pinning on Captain (I am so proud of him). And one of the little entrepreneurs on the prairie. A couple of weeks ago we had a yard sale. The boys wanted to participate, so we decided they could do a cookie and lemonade stand. They decided not to set a price, but to ask for donations only and just give them out. Very smart! People thought 
they were so cute. The boys would say, "You can have a cookie. It is free, or you can just make a donation if you want." Some people paid $5 for one cookie! They worked hard, paid me $5 dollars for supplies and still made a profit of $28. Amazing!
We are doing well and enjoying some nice weather here in Minot, finally. Darcee and Darryl and Porter should definitely come visit us here. We just barely got to 80.
Ben got a call yesterday informing him that his brother, Richard, was racing motorcycles, and crashed and then was run over. He is in the hospital and not well at all. He has broken 12 of 13 ribs, his scapula, clavicle, 2 lumbar vertebrates and one cervical vertebrate. He also punctured a lung and broke his breastbone. They don't know if he is going to have some paralysis or not. They are doing some surgery today. He has a wife and 4 children and no medical insurance. Needless to say, we are worried for them and would appreciate any prayers in their behalf.
Tragedies do occur, but we are so thankful for the gospel perspective that we have! We are so thankful for loving and supportive family and for all the blessings that the Lord gives to us. He loves us. He loves Nanay and her family and Richard and his family. I love Him for loving us so much and when I focus on that, I am happy despite temporal, temporary circumstances. We are eternal beings, and we can be an eternal family. Cause for celebration!
