Believing?

Bible Translation?

No...we'll get to those topics with another letter somewhere.  In our family, B is for...

BEN!

Ben is our youngest.  He is 5 1/2, and will turn six on December 19th.  We're happy to have this little guy in our family.

Ben is a great kid that is 1 part sneaky, 1 part generous, and 1 part imagination.  Tonight, he let his sneaky side show.  I asked him if he brushed his teeth and he casually said, "Yup."  Not convinced, I asked, "Ben, if I go and feel your toothbrush, would it be wet or dry."  Ben answered, "I dried it after I brushed."  Yeah, right...sneaky little fellow.

But Ben is very generous.  He loves to share his treats.  I've never seen a kid that enjoys sharing things so much as Ben.

Ben gave his writing and art to our neighbor

 just because he is generous and he knew she would like it.

And Ben's imagination...all of the wild outfits that he comes up with everyday, and the characters that he makes up to go with them are so frequent and far out that we forget just how original a person Ben is.

We're looking forward to seeing how Ben grows up and flourishes in his new environment.  We think Ben will thrive with the new things to learn and explore as we head overseas.  He has the spirit of an adventurer and he will surely make the most of it.
