One year older and wiser too!
Last year on October 23rd I was given the best birthday present (two days before my birthday counts as a birthday present doesn't it?) ever! That was the day Benson came to join our family. Since then he has filled our days with laughter and fun. What a sweet little boy he is! He says mama and dada. He can clap his hands, click his tounge, give slobbery kisses, spit, walk and climb stairs. He wants to be included in everything his brother and sister are doing and loves to wrestle with them. It is so fun to see him discover new things. We love you Benson. Happy 1st Birthday! Thanks for coming to our family!

Dear So and So
Dear Fort Wayne,
Why did you have to be so perfect? When we came to visit you this last weekend so David could interview for your residency program we already knew we liked you, but we didn't know that we would love your darling neighborhoods, friendly small town feel, comfortable ward, and impressive residency program. Gracie met the man of her dreams. She announced her intentions of marrying Conner (one of the many friendly resident's children) after whispering back and forth to each other during lunch our first day there. And Sammy even ASKED to go to nursery at church on Sunday. That has NEVER EVER happened! He has actually refused to go for the past few months. A cute Grandpa stopped by our table while we were eating dinner one evening and pulled no less than $1.50 in quarters out of our children's ears. He was dubbed "the magic Grandpa" after that. We loved you Fort Wayne, and that is terrible!!! Now we have to choose between you and another residency that we love! Don't tell anyone yet, but I think I might love you the best!
Sincerely,
The covet-er of your cute houses
Dear GPS,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! You saved my life you know. Without you I would have sat in a puddle and cried in all the new towns we visited during our trip this last weekend. You make me so happy! I know Sammy didn't like the Halloween monster voice David down-loaded on you, but don't let that hurt your feelings. The rest of us loved it, and David and I got a kick out of having you give us directions in an Australian accent. It made me want to buy a boomerang and say things like "G'day Mate!" So thanks for the good times. I will never leave home without you again.
