2013 Year in Review

January 2013

We brought Cooper into our family.

We explored our little island some more.


We took a trip to Germany where we managed to get ourselves locked inside this castle!


February 2013

Colin met the Transformers.

Our family was approved for Portuguese adoption and placed on the waiting list. 


Colin played basketball.


March 2013

Cooper got caught up in puppy mischief.

We enjoyed the warm island spring.


We celebrated Easter.


April 2013

Colin raced his car in the Awana Grand Prix

We played with friends.


May 2013
Colin played T Ball.

 We got a BIG surprise when we learned I was pregnant.

It was time to break out the giant slip n slide for Memorial Day.


June 2013
We went to bull fights.

I finished school (again) and completed my Masters.

It was finally beach weather!


July 2013
Grandma & Grandpa came to visit us on the island.

We went whale and dolphin watching.

After living here and asking for a year, Colin finally got to milk a cow!

August 2013
We cruised around the Eastern Mediterranean and visited Venice, Athens, Istanbul, Santorini and many other places. 

Colin turned five in Venice and chose to celebrate with a gondola ride.


He had a birthday party with friends when we returned and he got a big bike and a skateboard.


September 2013

Colin started Kindergarten!

We learned we will add another boy to our family.


We took Colin on his very first camping trip.


We visited Germany again.


October 2013
Colin played soccer.

My amazing friends threw me a baby shower.


We celebrated Halloween.

November 2013
Cooper turned one.

We said "see ya later" to the Callens Family.



We decorated for Christmas much earlier than usual so I could enjoy the decorations before heading to Germany.


Colin had his gymnastics recital.


December 2013
Colin earned a few Awana awards he was very proud of.

We finally got the baby's room ready and in order.


Squadron Christmas party at eight and a half months pregnant.


Colin visited Santa (Cooper too but he embarrassed himself!).


I flew to Germany (in the cockpit of an Airbus!!!) at 35.5 weeks pregnant to prepare for baby's arrival.


We celebrated our first Christmas apart since Colin was born and amazingly enough it was a deployment or Shelby's service that separated us. I was the first one of us to "miss" a Christmas due to stork nesting in Germany for the baby.
