Time for an Update...

I guess you could say I've been a bad blogger. Things have been pretty busy around here which leaves little time for blogging. Here I am though to give an update.

Things are good here in the Bennett household. I'm working from home and enjoy it. I only work a few hours a day while A is sleeping. My hubby's schedule has been a little nuts but hopefully that will get better soon. Our kiddos are doing wonderful! Raegan got picked in the Top 8 for UIL and we should find out soon if she got picked for the Top 4 students to go to competition. She is doing wonderful with her reading and loves Beverly Cleary and Barbara Park. Avery is getting so big. He's growing into quite the little man. He loves music and loves to be read to. Click on The Bennett's Blessings to check out pics of my wonderful kiddos.

A friend of mine, Stacia that I used to work with at Baptist found me on MySpace about a week ago. It has been a long time and I'm so blessed to have her in my life. We had a lot of good times. I have thought about her often and looking forward to catching up. Love ya girly!

My brother and his wife are having a girl. Not sure if she will be a Caroline or Holly yet. I can't wait. It will be nice to have another little girl in the family to calm the boys, Evan and Avery.

I also heard from a friend today who I hadn't talked to in awhile. L your email made my day, I just wanted you to know that. Thanks. Love ya!

Please keep my mom in your prayers. She has a heart cath on the 6th of March.

That is all the news I have for now. I'll write later. Have a happy Wednesday!

Congrats Raegan!!!!!!!!!!!.........

I did a post awhile back about our daughter getting picked for UIL and having practice, well she got picked as one of the 8 students out of 21 to get a callback. She had her audition last Monday and did great! We should find out soon if she made the top 4 and will go to competition. We are so very proud of her and she will always be a winner to us! Congrats Rae! We love you!!

Here are 2 new pictures of our kiddos at the hospital from visiting some good friends of ours, Heather & Dan. They just celebrated the birth of their beautiful daughter, Abigail Paige. The kids loved seeing their Aunt Heather and Uncle Dan. Avery had a little fall the other day when we went hiking. :) Enjoy the pics and have a great day!

How You Live(Turn up the Music) by Point of Grace....

I was listening to the christian radio station the other day and heard this song. I want to say the station is 90.9. They play some great contemporary christian music. Anyway.. I heard this song and felt it really had a good message and wanted to share. Here are the lyrics and the music video. Enjoy and have a great day!

How You Live (Turn up the Music)

by Point of Grace

Verse 1: Wake up to the sunlight With your windows open Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken Wear your red dress Use your good dishes Make a big mess and make lots of wishes Have what you want But want what you have And don't spend your life lookin' back

Chorus: Turn up the music Turn it up loud Take a few chances Let it all out You won't regret it Lookin' back from where you have been Cuz it's not who you knew And it's not what you did It's house you live

Verse 2: So go to the ballgames And go to the ballet And go see your folks more than just on the holidays Kiss all your children Dance with your wife Tell your husband you love him every night Don't run from the truth 'Cause you can't get away Just face it and you'll be okay

Chorus: Turn up the music Turn it up loud Take a few chances Let it all out You won't regret it Lookin' back from where you have been 'Cause it's not who you knew And it's not what you did It's how you live
