It's a Girl!



The Bennett Family is rejoicing tonight at the announcement of Matt and Amy's engagement. We love our Amy, and welcome her into the family.
In typical Bennett fashion, we did a family pool on the engagement date. It has been a long wait on the Lord to work out job and ring details for the happy couple, so since we knew the time was near, we decided to do some guessing while we waited. At first we were a little hesitant, lest we lesson the joy, but Matt and Amy heard about it and thought it was great fun!
I gave out the info that the ring had been ordered but had not come in yet, and the grand prize for guessing the right engagement date was to get to be the first to get dessert at the Rehearsal Dinner. Guesses came in and were logged into my datebook.
Congratulations to Austin Daniel Bennett, who guessed that today would be the Engagement Day. Today also happens to be his 7th Birthday! Happy Birthday, Austin! You will get to have the first dessert at the Rehearsal Dinner! What's your favorite dessert?

It took a time or two to explain what he had won, but now that he understands he says his fave is ice cream pie.
