Aunt Brooke Saves the Day...AGAIN!


In the past few weeks our family has been faced with a few challenges and each time we have not known what to do Brooke has stepped up and saved the day for us. Let me explain...
1. Our 2 kitties (Bunker and Shaye) wore out their welcome with our neighbors because they kept running under their deck. Jason and I decided it would be best to keep our relationship good with our neighbors and therefore told the kids that the kitties had to go. However not wanting to cut their lives short we weren't sure what we could do for the kittens. Well, hearing of our dilemma Brooke invited our kitties to come live at her animal paradise in Dillon, MT. This news made all the difference for our children and instead of it being a terrible end to our kitty experience, Caitlyn and Aubrey were so happy that Bunker and Shaye could run happy and free on 3 acres in Montana ( as a matter of fact I think they were just a tad bit jealous that the kitties got to go and they didn't!)
2. During our Benedict Family Reunion are aqua blue mini-van died suddenly. This seems to happen at least once a year and we end up juggleing everything with our one car. However, with the addition of Brandt we can no longer fit all of the kids in our sedan, especially with the carseat laws. Well it just so happened that the van broke on a Saturday and we were leaving Monday for our week long vacation in Island Park. Realizing that we didn't have enough room for everyone in the car I mentioned to Jason that we would just have to stay home instead and try for Island Park next year. Hearing of our new problem Brooke without hesitation spoke up and said "You can take our van." I don't know about you but lending out your vehicle isn't exactly an easy thing to do and as of right now Brooke has not had her van for 2 weeks. This was one of our best vacations ever and we owe a HUGE thank you to Greg and Brooke for saving the day...again! WE love you guys!!!
