Elainie

Better Late than Never

I never got a chance to do Elainie’s Senior Pictures, so when we did Bennett Family Pictures Day, I also took a few pictures of Elainie. Here are a few of those pictures:

Bennett Family Pictures

This post is somewhat bittersweet as these pictures were taken before my Mom’s diagnosis and while she was still being treated by the incompetent doctor. However, I want to remain positive and since things are progressing positively, there is no reason to dwell on the negative. When she saw these… Read More »Bennett Family Pictures

Meet the Bennetts

On the Sunday before Labor Day I hosted a little Bennett Family Reunion. Although none of the Fort Dodge Bennetts attended, I think it was a rousing success. It was the first reunion of its kind in at least 20 years. I hope that we can have another one next… Read More »Meet the Bennetts

The Archives: Edition Twenty-Five

Seems like most of my folders have a subfolder named New Folder. This New Folder contains some pretty random pictures. Some of these were taken by Carla. This week’s folder: Backup/Old My Pictures/New Folder Next week’s folder will be: Backup/Old My Pictures/New Photos

Happy Birthday Logan!!

There are 3 very special people that were born on July 12 and they are each worthy of their own individual birthday photo tribute. So I will start from youngest and go to oldest. Here is my photo birthday tribute to Logan:

Graduation

Elainie graduated a couple weeks back. Here are a couple of pictures from the day. I didn’t take a camera to the Open House for some reason. I clearly now regret that. Next Wednesday’s randomness will feature pictures of Evie.

RWPE #38 – Face

Looks like Shannon and Angie did find RWPE addictive. They submitted again for last week’s theme FACE. However, submissions were kind of light this week. Perhaps not as many people know people with faces as I would have suspected. Here are the submissions for FACE: Mike Vest Angie DeWaard Christopher… Read More »RWPE #38 – Face

CLU’s Holiday

Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 after a number of Americans were murdered by the military during the Pullman Strike. After the massacre, President Grover Cleveland made reconciliation with unions a top political priority. Making Labor Day a national holiday was his form of reconciliation. I celebrated Grover… Read More »CLU’s Holiday

Retired

“The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.” -Abe Lemons Sunday was my Mom’s retirement party. Here are a few pictures: There are more pictures from the party in the Mom’s Retirement Party Album.

Be Aggressive!

On Sunday I descended into the depths of Missouri and Kansas on Sunday to watch Alexis compete in competitive cheerleading. I had spoken with our Associate Pastor Andrea about good barbecue joints in Kansas City and she recommended Jack Stack for ribs and Oklahoma Joe’s for sandwiches. I looked into… Read More »Be Aggressive!

Mother’s Day

On Mother’s Day, I hosted the first family event at the new house. I learned the following things. 1. My mom, despite literally knowing me my entire life, will takes something out of my fridge and eat it without looking at the expiration date. 2. If you ask Elainie to… Read More »Mother’s Day

Thanksgiving

I started Thanksgiving by helping serve the free Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, Teresa and Logan. I was given the extremely important duty of collecting trays. After my shift concluded I talked dogs with Karma’s former vet Jordan and his family. Even though I know when I get a dog… Read More »Thanksgiving
