Renkema "Christmas"

 Last weekend we got together with most of the Renkemas for our "Christmas."  The boys were counting the days until we got there - they had plans to ride the tractor, play in the barn, and play with old cell phones. 

Here's Adam & Amy with Isaac

Hanging out...

We had a nice weekend, even though Liam got an ear infection and ended up at the hospital.  We missed Tante Brenda & Uncle Michael & the cousins - they were home sick.

He Laughs!

Isaac is always fairly quick to smile, but laughing is another matter.  Evan has been able to get him to laugh, but for us, it's usually a small giggle, and that's all.  I had him on my lap and was doing zerberts on his feet, and this seemed to work.  It still sounds like he's just laughing to humour me!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Dave!

Darren & I were having fun with the webcam on the laptop (I think we recorded about 10 different songs on there).  Happy Birthday, Uncle Dave!!

Smartie Math

 

A great way to combine Halloween snacks and math lessons!  The best part is eating your homework!

"Cheesy Pizza!"

Liam decided that he wanted to have his picture taken. He walked around the house posing and saying "Cheesy pizza!!"

Okay, so those curls are getting a little long...I guess I'll have to cut them soon...

Two Firemen...

 We've been enjoying looking through the archives on our blog, and it's fun to see older pictures/ videos of our kids.  Here's Evan a few years ago, and Liam below.

Goofy Boys!!

Free Christmas Cards...

I am writing this post to talk about Shutterfly’s Christmas cards.  Having followed a link from a friend, I found that I can get some free Christmas cards if I would write a blog post about their products (I love free stuff).  So here it is…. I don’t know if this will work, and I don’t really know what to say, not having used their products before.   

Here are some links to the cards.

Their designs are really nice, and very creative. They have several different types of products, including Christmas cards, invitations, gift tags, and calendars. You could probably try to get the free cards yourself, following these links. I’ll let you know if this works out or if I actually get my free cards!
