Just heard Lizzie telling her friend this...I honestly can't believe that a 4-year-old can explain this how she did:
Lizzie - "We were going to go on a trip, but my daddy's work is having a really hard week and he has to be there for his clients."
Friend - "Why?"
Lizzie - "Because Daddy's clients are losing money. The banks where they kept all their money aren't doing good and so they're not going to get their money back again."
That pretty much sums up Ben's week...we've been riding the market rollercoaster...ah, the life of a financial advisor and his family. Ben is just on the phone nonstop trying to calm people down while they're selling out of everything they own in the market - fun times.

It's amazing what they pick up. I'm thankful for Delaney's silence for the time being. Who knows what she'll be saying.
I can't wait to see your family again. They are growing so quickly! I can't believe how grown up they are (especially Lizzie).
That is pretty impressive. You have a very observant child.
Smart Girl. I am so sorry that this is happening to your family. If people would just be responsible with their money and pay their bills!
Hopefully things will get better soon.
Do you need me to bring you some chocolate?
Wow! Quick little one. I hope this all calms down soon and you can go on that trip. I know this is very far fetched, but I will be in St. George on Wed. If you are headed that way.... Kayla just adopted a little boy so I am going to be there to help out or I would take her car and come see ya.
This cracks me up more than just about anything! I seriously think that Lizzy can explain it better than most people!! These are not fun times at all... nope, not at all!
