Ok, so I am not the best poster during the summer. It has a been a busy summer with acitivities, canning, visitors, freezing, camp, canning, birthday and VBS....did I mention canning or freezing? We started out with Anthony leaving for most of the summer to work with Darren and Grandpa on the farm with a little hunting mixed in. Then Michael had baseball for the first time since he was little. He did great and had a lot of fun. Father's day we went to Mom and Dad's for the Saddle Horse holiday parade of which there were no pictures due to rain but fun was had by all especially at the gathering at Mom and Dad's for potluck. July 3rd we went to the Fireworks at the casino and it rained. Did you know they can shoot fireworks in the rain.... Look below how to enjoy fireworks in the rain. Then Maria went to her first camp at Schoenstatt in Sleepy Eye . She loved it. I was worried I would be getting a call to pick her up but her schedule was so full she didn't have time to miss us. Then came VBS...I was the preschool director and Maria attended. It was so much fun with 47 kids present with 15 being preschoolers. They learned to "Fear Not" for the Lord is with them in the Crocodile Dock in the Bayou. They built comfort critters to give to other children in need that said "God Care". Then littleMiss Christina Maria turned 3. She is full of love, charm, temper and kisses. She has turned into an excellent actress. She has learned how to fake cry and then can turn it off in a second and give you the biggest smile that will warm anyones heart. Then Carolee and Logan came from Florida for 10 glorious days. Logan finally was able to handle Christina being his mother by the last couple days. She was a mother hen. ...she was always trying to hold his hand or dance with him. I think he will be sick of girls for a long time. We miss them so much already. We are hoping they will come back soon. During all this I was crazy and decided to do Spring cleaning plus canning and freezing of the garden's produce, which as been producing so well. Here is our summer in pictures. Enjoy!!
