Good News!

Hey friends! Just wanted to share with you our good news: we FINALLY were able to close on our house this last week (only three months after the originally scheduled date!) :) We're so excited to be able to get working on some projects (like backyard grass for instance.) Our goofy doorbell is fixed and I got to go on a decorating spree this last weekend at the Swiss Days festival in Midway, Utah. Other exciting things going on: the countdown to Caleb is dwindling down - I'm officially in the third trimester now and everything is going well. Olivia gets to start preschool in two days. We met her teacher and took a tour last week and she is giddy with excitement (almost as much as I am!) to get started. And last but not least - Cameron rides his bike race this weekend. He started training last March and has been hard at work ever since so that he can finish (hopefully) the two-hundred and six mile mountain ride from Logan, Utah to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The anxious worrier in me is beginning to surface and I can't quite keep the thoughts of bike accidents and bad weather out of my head. Keep him in your prayers this weekend! So that's the update on the Bensons. I should have some fun pictures to post soon of the house and hopefully a successful finish of the bike race!

Glad to get the update, Em. Livvy is so adorable--how come it doesn't suprise me that she was so excited to start school? :) Today Caden said "I want to see Livvy. Is she far away? When will i see her?" I felt bad that i wasn't bringing him along this weekend. But not bad enough to actually bring him :). Can't wait to see you!
