Photo updates

    Cute baby Elliot Ren was blessed at home by her dad Sunday. It was a simple, sweet and perfect blessing. Tanner's got this 'girl-dad' thing down!

The handsome & adorable Wendel family.

    Then I attempted to get updated family photos, also on Sunday, and we did pretty good, considering we only had an iphone, tripod and timer. I don't know if I want to print the family photo but we got some great ones of the kids. We still have a couple more photos to take, mainly of Isaac, who wanted to wait to have his photo taken because he had a small wound under his nose that required stitches. Now that the stitches are out we're hoping to try again this coming Sunday.

    (Isaac's wound was a result of a work mishap, nothing exciting and he only needed three stitches.)

We just needed someone to maybe position us a tiny bit better.

Carter, handsome and always makes us laugh.

Brock also makes us laugh and struggles to smile normal in photos.

McClane, handsome and has a very dry wit.

Mark and Rio, we love them!

Papa and Joey with their cute Wendel girls.

Charlie is always up for a photo shoot.

Another great photo of the Wendel fam.

    So aside from family photos its been a pretty quiet week. The three younger kids are currently on fall break and Greg, Brock, McClane and Charlie are headed out tonight for White Rock to camp with several of the neighbors. I'm too fussy about my bathroom set-up so I'll enjoy being home with a couple of the older boys. 

    Let the 'Mrballen' (one of my favorite YouTube channels) marathon begin.
