Hello Blogger Family,
Fritz and I returned from a wonderful Family get-together in San Diego. We were in Mission Beach enjoying the sun, riding bikes, surfing, visiting family and cooking lots of meals. We had anywhere from 17 to 35 each night. We were near the Bahlia hotel which helped a lot with the overflow room. Dad teaches us that we are never too old to try something new. In the picture, we had fun helping Dad try out the standup paddle board. The first night we had a nice family gathering with Rene 's family. ( We are missing Louie's family in this one though).
THE BIG NEWS FOR US! Johan proposed to Rachel on Thursday night and we had a family style engagement party and cruise on Friday night. Johan will be a wonderful addition to our family. We like him very much. Rachel met him in her Ethics class while she was at Boston University for her masters degree. Johan is in the Doctoral program at BU. He plans to teach European History and Politics in his future. They plan to have a wedding next summer in Santa Barbara.
