Serious news at the Ridgefield Bennett's homestead! We have rolled out of the stone-age and now have the internet! (Obviously). But we are pretty darn excited! I am going to try to post a video of Hazel, Brind tried but said that the audio wasn't coming through... so if you can't hear, She says "twenty-eight June", "My birthday!" and " Hi unnnncle BEND!" Brind and I are so looking forward to the 4th and seeing more of the fam where they belong... Washington! We love you all.

PS - Thanks everyone for all the sweet birthday notes, Ellyn I love "you baby" and I'm pretty positive that I am most excited for you and jason to move up and I too am counting down the days till you get here... Hazel happy birthday to you too- you know your aunt Julia would steal you if it weren't illegal and all. And Darla your blankets are FAB - and now that we are online I can finally send you those pictures I promised :)
