I'm tired!

After a long, exhausting weekend I'm ready for a vacation! Who knew that car shopping could be so tiring! No, we didn't get anything. With the way the economy is you would think that car dealers would be willing to wiggle a little, but not in our case. I know that we will get the perfect van in God's time, so we just have to wait for that.

We took Macaulay to the doctor today and he weighs 8lbs 7oz!!!! He has almost DOUBLED in size in 4 months. We can also start him on rice cereal now, so he will start gaining more. He slept through the night this weekend...well until 5! I really can't complain about that, 9 hours at night! It's a lot more than Brody ever gave me!

Kayley is going to get to go to a BlueClaws (minor league team here) game sometime next month with school because she got Citizenship. Don't really know the details, or why, because she has always gotten it but this is the first time she has been "rewarded" for it. I would much rather her get that than honor roll, because that says a lot about who she is. Not that honor roll isn't nice, or good grades aren't important.

Zach did great at his game on Saturday. He does really good at first base. With it being T-ball they move him around every inning so they get a taste of everything. He also made a really awesome hit! It's so cute to watch all the boys...and the parents! Some are so into it!

Brody had a good weekend. He is so funny! He always likes to steal Macaulay's binki, but always is kind enough to give it back to him if Macaulay starts crying.

I guess that's about all that's going on with the Bennett's today! Pretty boring...I know!

Busy weekend ahead!

There is a lot going on this weekend, so I know before I can blink it will be Monday morning again. This morning Zach has a game, and then my mother in law will be coming down so that Bob and I can go looking at van's! Its beyond time to upgrade! We have a couple places in mind that we want to go first, so hopefully we will find a good deal, I will keep you posted!

Tomorrow we have church and if we have a bigger vehicle maybe we will head to the beach! Its supposed to be in the high 80's! Can't stay inside with weather that beautiful!

Macaulay has two appointments this week. One Monday with our pediatrician and then on Thursday with the neonatologist. I would say that he is probably 8 1/2 to 9 lbs. He is starting to chunk up a little. He even has a double chin! He's a really good baby! He can roll over, and holds his head up nicely.

Brody loves him still. When he is melting down, he comes over and kisses him and that makes feel better. He is starting to say a few words. Ball, George, Zach, Oh Oh, Ma, nose, eyes, ears, and sometimes Da, and Kay Kay. Not bad, a lot different from Zach!

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

End of half days!!!

Well this has really been a long 2 wks! We had spring break, and then all this week with conferences we had 1/2 days. Tomorrow is a regular day!!!! Doing the happy dance!

Nothing really exciting has happened this week. Kayley had a book report due on Tuesday. It was on an Biography. She decided to do it on Jesus! She did a really good job on the report. We had to make a puppet that represented the person. That took 4 hours of my time, and $15! Monday night was not a fun night. She got an A+ on it!!! Here is a picture of the puppet.


I don't think it turned out to bad for our first attempt at a puppet!

Brody has really been loving the warmer weather. We went for a walk the other night, and I put him and Macaulay in the stroller, they both loved it. Kayley and Zach will sometimes take him out with them and he loves being able to play with the big kids!

Zach is looking forward to his game on Saturday. He is doing good.

It's supposed to be nice this weekend and Bob will be off so hopefully we will be able to do something outside. I'm also loving the thought of warmer, nicer weather. This feels like it has been the longest winter! A busy one, but really long!

Ready for spring!

I'm so tired of this cold and dreary weather. The kids are on spring break this week and I would love to take them out and do things with them so they can get fresh air. You can't do that very well when it's RAINING out!

Zach has practice today, but it's raining, tomorrow we were going to go to the zoo, but it's raining! So now on to a plan to. Maybe I can take the big kids to see a movie. I know Kayley would really love to see Hannah Montana. Zach might complain about that...but he really does like Hannah!

Macaulay rolled over last night from his belly to back! It was exciting! He was on the floor, after I had given him a bath, and next thing you know he was on his back.

Everyone in our house seems to be getting or getting over a cold. So that's fun! I have a headache, and runny nose today. Zach and Brody had it over the weekend, so it's just trickling down.

Worthy is the lamb!

Here are the lyrics to a song that I love...


Thank you for the cross, Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank you for this love, Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious

High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Today with it being Easter this song has so much significance. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me, and my sin. Thank you for taking the nails for me, for never forgetting me, for standing by me, even when I fail. Thank you for taking me back over, and over, and over, and over again. But Jesus thank you most of all for the empty grave.

So call me stupid!

Or a mom who has lost her mind! I like playing around with fonts and I guess I picked the wrong one, so no one could read my post! Sorry! :lol:

Another week is flying by! The kids have school tomorrow and then are off for SPRING BREAK! We have some fun things planned. We are going to the Philly Zoo, on a playdate, and down to the shore...of course this all depends on Jersey weather!

We took Macaulay to the Dr. today. He weighs 7lbs 8oz! YEAH!!!!! He's still on the monitor at night...BOO!!! At least for another month! He is doing good other than that.

Brody is, well Brody! He is happy one minute and ticked off the next! Today I was playing "This little Piggy" and he was cracking up! It was funny the first 10 times, but after about the 45th time it wasn't funny anymore...to me anyway.

Zach isn't feeling well today. He is actually sleeping now, which he doesn't do! So I hope that he feels better by Sunday. I don't want him to be sick for Easter. He hasn't pulled any pegs this week, so I'm happy that his behavior is better in school this week.

Kayley just left for hip hop. Let me tell you she still has NO rhythm. She loves it and that's all that matters.

I feel like I have repeated myself in this post! Sorry. But my mind is drawing a blank.

Busy weekend!

What a busy weekend! Saturday was Zach's first T-ball game! We had to be at the field at 9 am for opening ceremonies! It was FREEZING! I have't figured out why we needed to be there yet, but that was an hour of my time that I didn't need to waste. So then we went and got some hot chocolate, came home and hung out until 2 pm. We had to go back to the field, for pictures at 2:50, and game at 4! I couldn't watch his first game because I was in the concession stand. But Bob said he did great and he had a good time, which is the most important thing. The game was tied...or is that just the way they score?

Sunday the kids and I went to church. What an awesome service! The past few weeks we have been visiting another church. The kids and I have really liked going. It has been a breathe of fresh air for me. I know that we have only been there a few times, but everyone has made us feel welcome.

I am going to call our church this week and set up an appointment to meet with the pastor. I just want him to know how I am feeling, what I think, and how it felt not having the support of our church the past 3 months. I don't know if it will make a difference, but if I don't do this then he will never know.

I am sure that we are going to have another busy week. T-ball, dance, Pioneer club, Macaulay has a doctor appointment on Wednesday, and I would like to go to Good Friday service night.
