I haven't posted in ages, but I just spent a half an hour reading older posts, and really appreciated being able to see all the old stories and pictures. So I thought I'd do a few quick birthday posts, to let you know what everyone is up to these days!
Liam turned 7 in February! He is such an amazingly sensitive child. He thinks so deeply about things, and is very sincere when he talks. He is doing wonderfully in school. He is currently reading/writing/doing math at a Grade 3-5 level. His teachers say that he is such a great kid to have in class, and his friends love him. He particularly likes to play with his friend Ben V.
He had a birthday party with all the boys from his class, and it was a great day. There was Pin the Mouth on the Minion, and lots of cake and presents. Unfortunately, because of our strange winter, there was no snow for tobogganing this year. Maybe next year!
Liam played soccer for the second time last summer. He did such a great job scoring goals, and was always in control of the ball. He passed to his teammates all the time, so they could score too.
He still LOVES puzzles. We have two 500 piece puzzles, and he'll complete one of them in a few hours, then put it away and start on the next. He loves to read Big Nate, Wimpy Kid, and Star Wars books, along with his older brothers. He read the Hobbit in a few weeks, around Christmas time. He also LOVES to read Elephant and Piggy books with Isaac. Liam and Isaac are great game opponents. They play Monopoly, Labrynth, War, and many other games, with very little arguing usually.
Liam is doing great in piano lessons. He learns quickly, and works ahead sometimes!
He enjoys playing with his cousins. He and Eli bond because of their love for games.
He loves to laugh at silly parts in movies and shows (Full House). He learned to ride a two-wheeler in just 2 days. He hasn't lost any teeth yet, and is really looking forward to that.
We love you so much, Liam, and we pray that God will bless you for many more birthdays to come!!

Evan is 9!
Happy 9th birthday to our Evan! He is such a great big brother. He loves helping and being very responsible. He can do laundry and make supper (Kraft Dinner). He loves biking and playing soccer.
He had a campout-sleepover party with 7 kids sleeping in a tent with Daddy. Not sure how much sleep everyone got...
He plays soccer with a big grin on his face and waves at his friends while he plays. He just bought a digital watch with birthday money and loves being the one in charge of how long things take.
Happy Birthday, Evan- we love you!

Happy 4th Birthday, Isaac!
Happy birthday to our wonderful Isaac! You have become such a big boy this year! You love to make people smile, and your laugh is great to listen too! We are so excited to watch you learn and grow!
- Isaac's favourite joke is still "What kind of paper doesn't mind getting sick? A TISSSUE paper!!!"
- He loves spending the days with David & Thomas Koene
- He will sing songs at the top of his lungs at random times ("Let it Go!!").
- He still doesn't enjoy bedtime, but he said goodbye to his soother when he turned 4!!
He had a fun birthday with the Benkos and the Koenes over for a bonfire.
Listening to stories before bed!
Happy birthday, Isaac! We love you!
Happy 7th Birthday, Darren!
Happy 7th birthday to our awesome Darren! We love your wonderful sense of humour, your infectious laugh, and your concern for others! We love how you take care of your brothers, and like to read to them! (reading at a Gr. 2 level already!). It's fun to watch you grow and change, developing your friendships with the kids in your class.
Darren had a Lego party and invited a whole group of kids over. They had so much fun, and played
so nicely together!
Darren's been having a great year at school, enjoying swimming with his class, and being a part of the school musical. He did awesome in Track and Field, showing that determination that he has!

Liam loves making long chains with Rainbow Loom elastics!
Darren shared his true feelings about his brothers!
Darren & Isaac have been getting along really well lately.
Liam's chain is even longer!
Science time with Grandma!
Darren slipped on a pencil at school and knocked out 3 teeth!
He says it looks like we fought a black bear! We're "The Wounded!"
Always more Lego!

Happy 5th Birthday Liam!
Liam recently celebrated his 5th birthday. He was so excited to have his first real party, and invited 4 friends to a sledding party. It was a great time. He got only Lego gifts...
...which was perfect for him. He spent 6 hours the next day at the kitchen table, building and re-building. Such perseverance! Our Liam is still so very focused on things like Lego, drawing, and colouring. He can work for hours at a time. He's teaching himself how to read and write by sounding out words, and is doing great. He also loves adding and subtracting numbers. He is thoughtful and helpful, and is enjoying his new spot on the top bunkbed. He and Evan are becoming great friends. Happy Birthday, Liam! We love you!
