Summertime Passage, 7/14-7/24

It's been a busy couple of weeks for the Kowalewski clan. July 14-16 we did the West Michigan tour starting in St. Joe and visiting our friends Matt and Jen Bair. As luck would have it, Kurt and Christopher were also in attendance. Note to self: take more pictures. From St. Joe, we drove to Lake Macatawa for Kathy's family reunion. Potato salad was had by all. Again, no pictures to prove I was actually there.

Oh, and that Sunday we golfed with Scott (in from Mexico for a quick visit) and Kathy and the kids attended the world famous church fair

We were then lucky enough to have our niece Sophie come and stay with us for a week and be Kathy's little helper. For Marylin and Jimmy, it was as if the Pope himself was staying with us. They were bouncing off the walls with excitement all week. For Sophie ...well ...I hope she had a nice time. We sure did. The niece left and the grandparents came for a long weekend. Events ranged from drinking coffee to shopping to, as you can see, washing cars. Grandpa's car was "very muddy" according to Marylin, so she insisted we wash it. Everything was cleaned ...nothing was spared. And, finally, Kathy and I enjoyed being godparent to our niece, Lauren Louise. It was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely day. The carrot cake will be remembered for a long, long time by everyone.
