So I hope to update more on the daily life here in Ann Arbor. I've found the biggest struggle is keeping in touch with friends far away. It is hard being 2-3 hours off from everyone, and our evenings are quite full, leaving the days....when everyone is working... and then on top of it I have Bentley. So anyway, I feel quite bad that I have been so out of touch with so many friends. So if you're reading this...know I do love and think of you often. (You know who you are!) 

It's a beautiful day here in Ann Arbor. The sky is quite blue and it's about 25 degrees right now. It isn't the cold that I hate about Michigan...it's the grey. We have had grey skies for like a week...so the bright beautiful sun makes everything so much better! Ben and I took an hour walk this morning after spending time with Marcheta. I love taking him to her house. She loves holding him and just sits there talking to him. He enjoys all of the attention! Last night we brought dinner to Dale and Julie again. It has been so great. She has been on bed rest for 5 weeks so our Bible Study has been providing food on Monday nights. There's usually around 10 of us all huddled around their table. I love enjoying food with friends. She gets off bed rest on Thursday because she'll be 38 weeks (full term)...but we hope to continue the meals with them. 

Ben is really growing. He's able to find his left thumb...usually after several tries! He rolls over when he's motivated enough to get off his belly. The therapists are quite impressed with his progress. They think he's ahead of even the normal babies. I know with him it will go up and down...so I will continually celebrate when he's up! I think having the therapists is such a God send. I have learned so much about the development of babies. I feel so well equipped for his brothers and sisters that we hope to have. He is such a good natured baby. He's happy to play by himself or have someone play with him. There are only a few things that makes him mad... 

1. His hat- he hates having to get bundled up to go outside! 

2. Being hungry....what can I say...the kid likes to eat! I understand. :) 

3. Being wet...cloth diapers are the best because he lets us know when he's wet. I hope this helps the potty training process someday. 

Other than that he's very happy doing whatever. 

I've been catching up on movies because it's about all I can when I feed him...hey I am not complaining. I love movies! Yesterday I watched Atonement. It's quite sad...but I liked it. I thought the cinematography was quite well done. 

Well, I better sign off for now....more later!
