August Recap
We thought we’d share some of the highlights of this past month – we are so grateful to God for all the special blessings He sends our way! Kathryn had been in a courtship with our family friend, Joel since January, and on August 1st he proposed to her! We were all present together with…
Sunset at the Beach
We had a free evening last week and took a trip out to Hammonassett State Park. Lydia spent almost the whole time we were there taking pictures of the scenery. She says it’s a good thing we don’t live at the beach or she’d spend all her time taking pictures! A few weeks ago, we…
Independence Day
We have a tremendous heritage as American citizens, but unfortunately not many people take time to think about it. For the past six years our family has organized a public reading of the Declaration of Independence in our town on July 4th. In addition, we try to have something different each year about specific signers…
Family Picnic
Last weekend was the annual Extended Bennett Family Picnic at our uncle’s house. All of Dad’s brothers and sisters and a majority of our cousins were there, plus a handful of friends, so we had enough people to have four rotating teams for wiffleball. We always take a group picture….this year everyone under 27 was…

Kathryn painted a simple representation of WWI soldiers to remember and honor those who served their country in that time….
Mother’s Day
We praise God for Mom, and for the way she has so faithfully and diligently invested herself as a mother. We praise God for her godly spirit in motherhood – training and pointing each one of us to love the Lord, to live for Christ and to love and serve one another. We honor her,…
Trip Down South – Part 4 – S. Carolina & N. Carolina
On our way back up north, we stopped and visited friends in North and South Carolina. Our friends in South Carolina live about 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach, so we stopped at the beach on our way to their house. It was rather windy there, and the waves were a decent size, especially compared to…
Trip Down South – Part 3 – Lakeland, FL
We headed down to Lakeland, FL, following our stay in Ormond Beach, and spent time with friends there. The generosity and hospitality that we received was such a blessing!
