We're back!

Sorry it's been a while since we have updated anything. There sure isn't much going on around here. Ashland has been sick for three (going on 4) weeks and just can't shake it. Early in his sickness he had bronchitis. Along with the bronchitis he had a double ear infection. Even with medicine it hasn't got away. We go back to the doctor on March 11th for a check up. If he still has an ear infection (which he does now, after a week on a different medicine) we will have to visit an ENT. Let's all pray that it goes away.

Tyler has been busy with work. He had to work 4 Saturday's in a row because of open houses and having lots of visits. His weekends are starting to slow down and now we can all relax. This weekend was the last weekend either of us had to work for a while :-)

Racheal has an interview on Tuesday for a first shift job. It is a job at the school working in the mail room. It would be a great opportunity because she would be able to work 1st shift and have more interaction with people on campus. Pray that it goes well :-)

Sports season at the university is idle right now. Basketball season came to an end, and there is nothing going on right now. Maybe when it gets warm we will go to some baseball and Lacrosse games, but that won't be for a while. We are looking forward to the days when it gets warm and we can play outside.

Here are a few picutres for your viewing pleasure. We will make sure our next post comes sooner than this one.

Lots of love from the Benners

We went on a trip to Indy and stopped at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Ashland LOVES spaghetti!

Ashland and Tyler love swimming. We are looking forward to going to the county beach this summer for some swimming and play time.

This ball pit was at the hotel we stayed at in Indy. Unfortunately, Ashland was sick the day after we came home from Indy and I think this ball pit may be the reason why. Oh well, he had a blast playing in all the balls.

So, you still have the icks? That's not good. I bet Mommy is right in thinking that the ball pit was the culprit. Surely by the time the 11th comes, you will be completely healed. We certainly hope so!

Have you noticed any change in the weather in Angola yet? We are starting (ever so slowly) to see more sunshine and a couple of warmer days during the week. I think we've been through the worst of winter at this point and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, this weekend Gpa and I saw several Robbins. They were very plump. Someone fed them well during their vacation down south.

Thanks so much for the updates. We love seeing the new pictures each time. I think you and Daddy must both say cheese when the camera clicks.

Take care of yourself.

Love you all! XXXO

Hey buddy, I can't wait to see you get so old that you retire from the kid's plate at The Old Spaghetti Factory! It is truly a most glorious moment! :) Keep smiling!

Oh, yes! The "Clean Plate Club". Your Daddy and Uncle Caleb were both members. Do they still have the Dino Plate? It always tastes better on the Dino Plate. And, be sure to ask Daddy next time what al dente means. And, if he tells you it's a musical term - take him down to the bookstore and prove him wrong!
