Because life becomes so busy, the Benson's have found a way to make precious moments count. Family is the foundation of all memories, because of this we cherish our time together.

Living 4 the weekend!
Halloween is near, the ghost and goblins I fear, what a rainy day today. The kids are all hyped over the approaching holiday season. I must say that the grown up Benson's are too. This will be the first holiday season with Granny Brown living with us. She is in for a treat. Diamond had her first orchestra recital tonite and her dad said that she did great. Unfortunately, I had to work. My sister and her girls are coming this weekend and we will be so happy to seem all. Until later, be safe and have fun. Trick or Treat!!!

Loving Autumn
Ghost and Goblins are all around, can you hear the spooky sound. The Benson's are preparing for halloween. I know, for those of you who fail to celebrate the calendar name, it is now more popular to say Harvest Fest or Hallelujah Fest. Whatever the name is, I still see it as a time for family, friends, peace and love. Evil is only known to children if things are projected this way! As the holiday season near, all we can do as a family is enjoy the season and create new memories. God knows, there is so much to be thankful for! Brandon and Diamond are doing well in school and looking forward to the Thanksgiving break, now that Fall break has passed. Brandon piano lessons are going well and Diamond has been selected to become a Duke University TIP student. We are so proud of both of them. Being a mother is busy, but it is definitely worth every minute and second to know that you are loved unconditionally. Fall is a wonderful time of year with football (Go Team), yard sales, great weather and hot chocolate!. Sometimes enjoying the little things help us all to prepare for the bigger things that are coming. God Bless, Peace, Love & Serenity until the next time.

Catching UP!!!!
It has been a while. Life has been so busy! The summer is on it's way out and my favorite season is on it's way in. The Benson kids had fun filled summer full of activities. Summer camp was a blast and both of them hated for the camp to be over. Swimming, skating, bowling, and going to the movies were all part of the busy days at the camp. The kids have been back in school for more than a month and are busy in school activities. Diamond plays the clarinet and Brandon is in piano lessons. Both of our little musicians are happy with their progress. In the meantime, Granny Brown has joined the Benson family full time. What a true blessing! We are happy to have her. Both kids had wonderful birthday celebrations in June and September. They are now looking forward to the holidays. Family & Fun what a great combination! My birthday celebration is next!

Easter is near. Thank you God for your sacrifice because we(everybody) have always needed it, but it appears that we need it now more than ever! The Benson kids are ready to spend time with our extended family and we look forward to a fun filled weekend eating, hunting eggs, and just having a good time. Brandon is still practicing teeball and eagerly awaiting his first game. We are really excited. Diamond is looking forward to her sixth grade field trip and tcap. The grown-up Benson's are busy working in the yard and making space for a nice yard for relaxation this summer. We have lots of events planned and is looking forward to spending quality family together. We would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and a wonderful weekend! God promise is still good, so don't get caught up in the recession hype!!!!!

Last weekend we got to spend time with family members @ a Grizz game. We had a great time although the home team lost, but what else is new. Brandon spent last week getting ready for his first season of tee ball and Diamond is into her Star Trek book series. Two kids same parents as different as night and day. We are counting down the days before TCAP and summer break. The adult Benson's are enjoying life and spring cleaning.

Now that St. Patrick's day is behind us, and I did not even realize it until today that it has come and gone, let's move on. Brandon had his first teeball practice the other day and did so good. He is a much better hitter than a fielder. He can throw really good. I think he would much rather be fishing! Both kids are enjoying spring break and not looking forward to going back to school.

It's that time of year again, less sleep more work. Spring is in the air and it's time for baseball/softball season. The Benson kids are excited. It is Brandon's first year playing organized sports. Diamond is somewhat a veteran. KUDO's to Diamond on continuing to excel academically, she received a couple of nomination last week for her hard work and dedication. May the force be with her!!!!!! Just one more step in fulfilling her NASA dream. Please keep her in your prayers as well as my entire family. Have a nice day!!!!
