A fun filled month

Hello All,



Its amazing how fast a month goes, we have been filled up with all sorts of good stuff this past month so therefore we have lots of good pictures ranging from a baptism to a family wedding and finally some grade A family photos. Renee is doing absolutely fabulous and so are mommy and daddy.

Renee has reintroduced us to a full night sleep, giving herself at least 10 hours of sleep between her last feeding, usually around 7, and her next feeding which is at around 5:30-6:00. She now weighs about 12 lbs 5 ounces and is 23 inches long. She is beginning to roll over more and more as she decided to do it three days in a row this week. She is talking so much and it has actually become more frequent where she just wants us to be quiet so that we can listen to her wonderful stories. Well I am going to leave it at that for now and let you enjoy all the pictures that I have added on.



Baptism:

Sept 3rd , 2007 at Sacred Heart Church in Delta.

We were blessed with most of the MacKenzie family being there because of Sara and Chad's wedding just a few days earlier. Father Leo from the church performed the service and after that we returned to our place where we enjoyed all sorts of platters and drinks until the late hours of the afternoon.





Renee also was blessed with two wonderful god parents, Sara dePol (Steph's sister) and Ray Van Marrewyk (my big bro)



These are Ron's grandparents five little precious granddaughters, starting from the left, Jenna and Emily West, followed by Taylor and Danica Van Marrewyk, and finally little Renee. Good thing there is still room on that couch for more in the future.


Family MacKenzie together at our home in BC always cool to see


Brad and Brenda West holding Renee at the baptism celebration


Proud Oma and Opa


Proud Nana and Grandpa


That thumb is a saving grace I tell ya!!!!




This is Heather and Bruce MacKenzie (Steph's Brother) and there little daughter on the right Bryar, she is actually 5 days younger than Renee so these cousins should be able to stir stuff up whenever we are visiting Ontario or when they come over here, no barbies though only soccer balls


It looked like every second with his two new granddaughters was a proud moment for Grandpa.


Aunt Sue and Uncle Bryan also made the trek out to BC for the wedding so they were also able to par-take in the Baptism which was awesome-and I promise your scotch will still be here when you come back in a few years Bryan


Uncle Ron and Aunt Donna were also around for the weekend however Donna left for Saskatchewan ealier that weekend


The newlyweds also came down and we were happy to have them there just two days after getting hitched



These are all pictures from the wedding which was beautiful to say the least, it was magical how it all came together.



Just look at the next three pictures as they were all taken within 10 seconds











Proud Papas
Not everyday that we can get all spiced up and get photos taken, thanks to Noelle for Renee's beautiful pink dress
The three MacKenzie Ladies (Noelle, Nana, and Patti-two of Steph's sisters from Ontario)

Aunt Noelle reading a wonderful story to Renee


Pics from the last few weeks


Bryar and Renee chillin in the play dome
I am loving these types of pics, she loves her tummy so why not take the pictures of her while she is in her most comfortable position
We wish she was as good in the tub as Bryar is but she is getting better at not pooping in the tub
A trip down to Centennial beach in Delta on a Tuesday afternoon to have a picnic and an afternoon getaway
Her first feel of cool sea water, it was warmer water as the tide had just come in and it is quite shallow for quite some distance


Well until the next installment. Hope all is well and as the summer ends and fall begins, Enjoy the fall colors and more family time as indoor events become more frequent again.
Love from Renee, Stephanie, and Ron

Geez Ronsito and Double O. C..

That picture with all the girls on the couch is a bad sign.... Not only is testosterone being bred out of the family, you guys are sure going to need it when these girls get older. Gonna have to also sell a whole lot of purple peppers to pay for all those weddings... ;)

'Great pictures Ron. It must be nice for you too have your whole family around. Sometimes I forget that its not so common to have allmost everybody living in your neighbourhood like we have. Next week your parents are over here so we will see more pictures and here more stories about you all. Kiss your wife and daughter from all off us here.
