New Family Photo

Well, obviously it has been a little while since I posted last. I am not very good at keeping up with everyone, but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you!! 

We're doing great! We had these fun family photos taken when we were at Ben's parents' house for Christmas.  I think they turned out awesome!! Camilla found a really amazing photographer. The whole experience was fun and it was one of the highlights of our trip.  It has been a whilrwind of a year for us already. I am not even sure, in retrospect, what has kept us so busy, but I guess we have been here long enough that we are getting involved in different things.

Ben and I decided to become BYU-Idaho Ambassadors which means that we help answer people's questions about the university.  We are pretty excited about that opportunity as we both attended some question and answer sessions that helped us a lot when we were in high school. 

Ben is finally nearing the end of his training at work--he started in August, so you train for quite a while there. He is enjoying getting a better idea of what he will actually be doing at work because a lot of the training, although relevant, is not that similar to the actual work he does.  I have been busy chasing Abby.  She is so much fun, but she moves too fast for me. I'm going to have to train for another half-marathon to keep up.

We are all getting really excited because Keith is down to just a few more months on his mission. We are all going to run the Spokane to Sandpoint relay up there, which will be really fun. We are trying to figure out our vacation plans, but we are always a little indicisive when it comes to planning things.  Still, we are looking forward to doing our first-ever little family vacation. 

Hopefully Ben will write the next post because he is hilarious!! I mostly just have news and that's about it.  But, we have plenty of laughs here at home with Ben around.  He's the life of the party!!

Oh, one funny thing though. We went to a wedding reception last night and there was some music for dancing. Abby headed straight for the dance floor and just started dancing around on  her own. I am pretty sure that was her favorite part of the day (oh, except for standing in a mud puddle, which she also absolutely LOVED!!) 

Anyway, that's about all the news for now.  Take care everyone!!

What a gorgeous family!!! Hope Ben is enjoying his work. The first few months can be real slow...Nate just about died of boredom during his 'training' period. We need to get together sometime, now that you guys are back in SE Idaho.
