The Benson girls in goal, the walking 9 month old, a running Titan and some sad news

Life has been real hectic. When I looked at the blog tonight, I was shocked that I had not written a post in nearly 4 months. I guess that is what little league football, girls soccer and some family events will does to you.

THE BENSON GIRLS IN GOAL
The picts below are of Kaitlinn and Tia - each of them took a turn to play goalie this year. They had enjoyable seasons and I think they will be playing again next season.



Tia is the small speck of green....she played great in this game, despite not having played there a lot. Kaitlinn is the adorable goalie on the right. She played there several games and seemed to enjoy it.

THE WALKING 9 MONTH OLD
I know - she is now 10 months old but the video was shot when she was 9 months old - so there. She is growing up each day, now she waves and is found smiling most of the time (apart from the "change my diaper," "feed me now'" and "I just woke up faces" moments she has)

AND NO - THERE IS NO NEED FOR A SOBRIETY TEST - REMEMBER THIS IS A 9 MONTH OLD WALKING - THERE IS GOING TO BE A CERTAIN TILT TO HER SWAGGER.




A Running Titan
This year was my second year coaching little league football. Our team was the Olympus Titans Grey Team - (hence the Running Titan reference) I have learned a lot and have found a lot of joy helping coach. The pict below was in a game against Cooper Hills. The 42-0 win was very satisfying. We did not make the playoffs this year, but hopefully we will be in the playoffs next year. I am hoping to take some coaching clinics in the off season to help me improve.




Some Sad News
Some of you may now that on October 21, 2009, Shannon's mom, Joan lost her battle with cancer. She was an incredibly, amazing woman. I was very lucky to have known her as long as I did. We have been very touched by our friends and family who have checked in on us. I have hope that my girls will grow up to be as amazing as their Grandma Flowers. We were lucky to have her in our lives and she will NEVER be forgotten.
