Easter

We celebrated Easter by attending Stewartstown Baptist Church's sunrise service followed by a pancake breakfast. After services, we went to Seth's Aunt JoAnn's house. We had a great time with family eating dinner and hunting Easter eggs. It was a lot of fun.

New Glasses

The youngest Benge lady has joined the ranks of the visually impaired. Our 5 year-old received her first pair of glasses this morning and loves them. She has a prescription of 2.5 in her right eye and 0.5 in her left. I have no idea how she's been seeing until now, but she is extremely glad to be seeing everything clearly now. Look through her glasses in this picture, you can see just how bad her eyes really are.
#3 loves the Princess Giselle glasses and the cute case they came with. Only Disney would think to give a pair of girl's glasses in a princess purse.

She is adorable in her glasses. I'm just thankful we caught it early and she can see.

First Snow

We had our first snow of the season on Saturday. It was wonderful! I can't remember the last time the first snow was so deep and turned out to be so perfect for making snowmen. Mom totally rocked kids 2 and 3 in a snowball fight and taught them how to make a snowman. Well, we decided it looked more like a snowlady so we named her Ms. Snowlady. Enjoy the pictures and videos. The first two were on Saturday, while it was snowing. The other pictures and videos were taken on Monday when Mom could go outside with the kids.

Afghanistan

In December, the head of our family will be leaving for a one year deployment. Seth will begin his deployment with a month in Indiana, about 10 months in Afghanistan and will end with one more month in Indiana. The kids and I are sad that Seth will be leaving us for a full year, but we are proud of him and the work that he does to keep our country safe and free.

Please keep us in your prayers during this time of preparation and separation.

Grandma's Coming!

Grandma & Grandpa are on their way! The last we heard, they were boarding a plane in Denver headed for Baltimore. We can't wait to see them! I'm sure we'll have lots of fun posts over the next week while they are here.
