Well, we are finally settled in now in our home with Tiff and Jeff and the boys. Trent has returned home which we are all very excited and very thankful for! It is so much more fun to have the boys around with their excitement and energy. Of course we're still so thankful for our own little guy, Benjamin. He is still growing and learning. Now if we leave him on the floor he will roll all over. We're just waiting for him to start crawling and getting at the DVD player, the TV, the radio, etc. (One of his favorite toys is a little remote that we took the batteries out of. We don't let him watch TV, really, but he loves the remotes! A true boy! j/k)
Anyway, we have been very blessed so far this Christmas season. Both of us have new callings in our ward: Allison is an adviser with the Young Women (beehives), and Alan is teaching in Elders Quorum. Both of us had to speak in church today about how we can show our love for the Savior. It was good for us to be reminded that love is found in our actions, not simply in the declarations of our feelings. We have to prove our love for the Lord through what we do, and the best way is to serve others. Wow, we are so grateful for the love the Lord gives to us in all the good around us. It is our prayer that our love can be our gift to Him this Christmas.

It is about time that you update your blog! It is good to get some updates on people that we are not able to see everyday. Benjamin is so cute. My advise to you, is to keep up on the posting so we can see him grow! Good luck POSTING!
