Tanner MTC experience

Just before Tanner left for Russia they had a missionary conference. He said the room was filled with 2000 missionaries, both elders and seniors. He and nine elders sang this acapella arrangement of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. His companion in the MTC was a good friend of his cousin Jake in Rexburg. The companion's name was Elder Dana. He has been in Russia 4 weeks now and he is having a hard time with email. We have received an email only one week and that was in four little pieces, cut and pasted together. Hopefully he will get it figured out and we will hear how things are going.

Benson's second favorite spot to hang out.

We wish we could know his dreams because he frequently smiles while asleep.

Giving Grandma the "evil eye" for disturbing his sleep by using a flash that was way too bright.

Welcome to Baby Ben

Welcome Benson Michael Foster, born January 20, 2009 at 9:57 am. Momma and Daddy Foster and Baby Ben are simply amazing. I have been able to enjoy this first week with them and I remember now why we have our children when we are young. There have been sleepless nights but he isn't fussy, just awake. He and I are bonding during these sleepless nights when the swing or the bouncer do not satisfy Baby Ben. Only Grandma's shoulder works for falling asleep after he enjoys his snack and awake time. Since the apartment is only 6 steps across, I have introduced baby ben to the ipod while we pace and discuss the latest BYU devotional or the novel Rebecca. Tanner came in last night and said "He looks different. He's grown up." I agree completely. He doesn't have his newborn look anymore. He has a very thoughtful, calm demeanor. Hal does a very good impression of Ben's thoughts and experiences. They are very mature and highminded. He is Benson, already.
