Summer's Here

There's a new family that moved in just around the corner, and the boys are just loving it. They asked several times in the first week after Jeff & Annette moved if we could just drive them over to play with Levi and Timera. I thought parents didn't become taxis until the kids were older!

Levi, Timera and Davis were here for part of a day. Here's my method of keeping six Tenhages quiet. No, this didn't last all morning! They did quite a bit of playing as well.

The boys are always up for a rousing game of Hop on Pop! Noah is in there like a dirty shirt. Anytime someone is on the floor, he's all over them! I think the boys won this one!

And one picture for Grandpa! Noah's first try at a popsicle.

Any Resemblance?

It's Time for An Update!

I've been told it's time to update things here! There's more that's been going on than just a baby growing!

Let me head back to November and update from there.

At the end of November, we headed down to the Dominican Republic for some R&R to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We went with 2 other couples who were also celebrating the same thing.

We stayed at the Occidental Grand Punta Cana. We had beautiful weather - only about 10 minutes of rain, which turned into sunshine very shortly after.


We had a great time relaxing, and enjoyed a day out on an excursion discovering the countryside. Thanks to those who looked after the boys for us. It was greatly appreciated!

Noah's Turn

It's Noah's turn to announce...



Due date is September 30th.

Season's Greetings

"Suddenly a great company of the heavly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favour rests.' "

Luke 2:13, 14

Just a quick note to wish you all a wonderful Christmas Day as we remember the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. May you have a safe and happy holiday season, and God's continued blessings in 2009!


The boys are trying out their new pjs that Santa (actually Mom) made for them.

Our new backyard furniture

This past fall I found an ad in the paper for a wooden playground set, and they were only asking $100. Jay and I went to look at it. It was in good shape mostly, and I convinced Jay to get it for the boys. It was a real pain to get it out of the backyard that it was in, load it into a big truck, and bring it to our house. Thanks to the guys for helping us with it. It wasn't that heavy was it?
The boys use it often. You should see how fast their dump trucks go flying down the slide!

Mom, can I lick off the beater?

Remember when you were a kid and Mom would bake? We would always want to lick off the beaters. It always seemed like Mom had to pretty much clean them off before we got to lick them clean.

Owen and Zach enjoy this too. And I guess I've turned into a Mom as well, because I almost clean the beater off before they get to lick it clean. And the boys complain about it just like Ian and I use to!
