Our little sister....

In just a few days our little sister will be Mrs. VanOosten!!! Yay!!! Congratulations, and we're praying for you guys!
Eric, Marya & Evan

guess who...

This is my first attempt at a photomosaic. Even at this size, you have to blur your eyes a bit to see what's there... 

No room at the inn!!

Yes, we are completely booked up here at Hotel Renkema. Our distinguished guests include the ever-famous world-travelling Mr. Dave VanBreda, whose stay is an un-defined length. The most recent guest is the soon-to-be Mrs. VanOosten. She is currently on a 2 night stay. Including the permanent residents of the hotel (2 adults, one baby, and a cat) we are currently fully booked. But we do have some openings coming up in the next few weeks. For your entertainment, there is an adorable little boy (who knows how to say "night-night" and "down").

Another One! (tooth that is)

 

Idea - Christmas names...

Just a thought, since we haven't come to a consensus yet. Maybe for just this year, we can assign names to people (not secret) because it's too difficult to figure out without all getting together. For example, with the Renkemas, we have the girls switch names and the guys switch names. And to make it easy, we could assign by age: Mom has Sarah, who has me, who has Jenn, who has mom. Eric has Steve, who has Brian, who has Dave, who has ERIC.

This way we can still have a decent amount of time to look for gifts, without having to wait for a secret drawing (that CERTAIN PEOPLE would forget all about!!!).

Any thoughts??
