Don't know what to say

I want to write--I have some time, but I don't know what to say.
It's been awhile, the leaves are turning, time passes.
Each day seems significant, when you have a goal.

Benjamin was a dream child two days ago, zero complaining as he did his jobs, loving and happy.  He smiled.  This is my greatest blessing.  Yesterday it started to wear off, a little bickering with his brother.  I am trying to be more intentional about hugging him whenever I am near him, it seems to help.

Ian has a good grasp of humor, and timing.  He definitely makes us laugh.  He has an extremely keen memory, so he collects a lot of lines from movies and books and uses them very appropriately in conversation.  It is always surprising.

Aaron & I are going away for some family scheduling.  Pray & Plan retreat.  A friend's cabin at the windy rainy beach and--he's bringing his surf board.  So I'll bring my book!
