The Bentley Commune

I felt inspired to write to all the "almost" unemployed bentleys.  I thought this might be a good time to start a commune and start sharing everything (except wives - that's yucky).  Think of the benfits...Rick and Charlie could earn most of the money (with zack to take over when he graduates).  Dave and I can earn our keep by drawing pictures for the children and building furnature - The garage is one of my favorite places.  We have James who can farm like no one else, and also has a large supply of animals to eat if the going gets rough.  We can't count on Rick or steve's hunting ability to bring in food, but with a little luck we will have plenty of rabbits and dog to eat.  Dan, you are in charge of looking for a nice parcel of land somewhere in the wilderness.  I think it's got potential. Just a couple of updates from our household.  Most of you know that we are expecting another girl around the 18th of May.  We are pretty excited.  The kids are all doing well in school.  Cecelia and Levi are making pinewood derby cars (CC is too young, but we thought it would be fun) for the race on the 30th.  Francesca seems to enjoy nursery (she has never cryed) which is a milestone for us.  Elijah makes a scary teenager, but is doing good and especially enjoys Jazz band.  Rachel is making another baby and baby quilt, and Steve will see his last day of work around the end of May.  We are looking at jobs in Colorado, Utah and Arizona so we may be near some of you soon.  We especially enjoy being so close to Rick and Marisa and wish we had more of you to play settlers of Catan with - Rick or Marisa usually kick our butts but we have a good time.  We are thinking of coming to Utah for spring break for a few days. We would love to see any of our UT kinsfolk. Much Love,  SREILCF and probably M for (Margarette)
