2013: Lots of Firsts for the Leingang Family

Andy turned 18 this year and for the first time we now have two adult children. How did that happen???

Andy had a really nice birthday that you can read all about HERE

 

We were in an accident without actually being in an accident. In fact I think I can safely say that this was not only a first but probably a once in a lifetime situation! A freeway overpass sign fell right in front of our van while we were driving on I5!!! One of those times where you could see God’s hand at work!

It’s a pretty exciting story and you can read all the details HERE!

 

The boys have never been skiing before. So when Andy’s grad group went on a ski trip to White Pass, Chris took Andy and Will for their first ski trip ever! Chris and Will skied and Andy went snowboarding. They had a blast and can’t wait to go again this winter!

This is probably the first and last prom any of our children will go to. Andy’s grad group held their prom at the Flippin Castle in Clatskanie. First they had dinner, followed by dessert and dancing. Chris and I got to go, too!

Andy’s very first fencing tournament was very fun and he even got his picture in the local paper!

The weather this spring was so mild that we were able to take a day hike out to Sauvie’s Island. I’d never been out there and there is a lighthouse on the island that we didn’t know existed. So we went out to check it out…

For the first time in years it was sunny enough on Easter Sunday to have the church Easter egg hunt outside! It was gorgeous!

And for the first time, we had a baptism on Easter Sunday!
