Summer 2013

Hooray, Katie was pregnant!!!!
We opened the pool.
We had some awesome full moons.
Natalie got a new belt!
Nick got his black belt!
While we were at a wedding reception in Michigan (Abby was a bridesmaid for one of her best friends), Abby got a phone call offering her a first grade teaching position at Jackson elementary school here in Chesterton.  This is her trying to make some semblance of her new room.
Before Abby had time to blink, it was time to take off with three of her best friends for a trip to Boston. 
I loved that while she was there, it was the Boston/Chicago Stanley Cup Finals in Boston.  Wonderful friends of ours from Rhode Island came up to watch the game with the girls.  They had a great time.  Thanks so much to Barry and Sharon for taking our girls under their wings. 

I got a second place ribbon at the county fair.
We went to Diamond Lake for the annual Collins/Poparad families vacation and had a great time.
Jason aka Dick came to our campfire one night.
Natalie caught her first fish.
I got off the boat at the sandbar and was voluntarily in the water.  For anybody who knows me, this was huge!
The kids loved being in the water.
We renewed our vows for our 40th anniversary with our very favorite priest.  Sadly, we lost Father Heeg two months later to cancer.  We miss him.
We  were so blessed and honored to have Father Heeg with us at our home that day.  It made the day even more special.
