First Blog EVER

Hey everyone!  We just got our computer back and saw several new things on our email and on the blog and I have decided to try to learn about communication in the digital world since I have children who are now and soon will be in faraway lands.  We heard from Josie and Jeff that they arrived safely in Hungary and are in the process of looking for an apartment and a car.  They have a blog that they started and it was fun to see some pictures from their adventure so far .  Dallin is now in Camden, New Jersey and loving the people there.  Daniel had his interview with the stake president this past week and now we wait.  Kaden just participated in a big choir festival at BYU-I this weekend and is enjoying singing with his quartet.  Faith is on the 8th grade girls basketball team which keeps her pretty busy.  Kallie and Sadie are doing well in school and piano and are starting duets together.  Remember Dutch Dance Amy?? Sadie, Lyndie, and Marlie have been home sick for several days now. We have so much snow but no one feels like sledding without cousins to do it with.  It was really fun to have Travis and Kris come for a visit and then Katie and kids came and my kids cried when it came to an end!  I think Jeff and Kimi's kids are coming this week so we'll look forward to that. For those of you who haven't heard, Jess and Derik are expecting baby #2 and we're so excited.  Grayson is doing his army crawl and has the most adorable "GOOFY" teeth (big gap on top).  Derik is finishing the drafting program at Bridgerland and than they are planning to join everyone up in Rexburg to go to school at BYU-I.  Troy has stayed very busy and we are both so thankful for this and for our dear family who prayed for us and have helped us in so many ways.  We love you all so much!  Jen
