Our Little Star

Evan the Photographer

Whenever I leave the room to change Darren's diaper, Evan usually gets into something he shouldn't. This time it was the camera.

This one of Aurora actually turned out pretty well!

He also made a little video but it didn't turn out that well...

Yay Tante Sarah!

Please...

So our youngest has learned his first sign. Just this week, he started saying "please." He does it with his hand closed, like a fist, but it's very clear what he is doing!! What a smart kid! :)

More "Happy Birthday Cake"

So Darren had his THIRD birthday cake...and didn't even get to eat any of it...he's too young... The Renkemas were down for a visit on Sunday and the boys had a great time.

Supermen!!

Tractors, tractors, tractors...

We went to an open house day at the John Deere tractor place near our house. Evan was just so excited about all the tractors, and wanted to "drive" each one. We saw all kinds of tractors, and got a ride in one. There was free food, tractor pulling, and great weather! If you ask Evan what kind of tractor he's sitting in, he says, "A John Deere tractor."

Happy Birthday Darren!

We are so amazed at this wonderful child - how he's grown and changed in this past year. He had his one-year appointment and the doctor is quite impressed with his progress. He is in the process of getting three new teeth and is hardly complaining. He is such a smily, goofy little boy and loves to watch his big brother. They amuse each other in the van, by talking and laughing and just being silly. We love you, Darren!
Darren's "Happy Birthday cake" (as Evan calls it). It's supposed to be a frog!
