The Heidinger Adventure

Hey everyone. I hope that you all had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. Well Dusty graduated Basic Training and his AIT school so he is now a Military Police Officer in the Army. He is home now for home town recruiting and still don't know if he will be home for Christmas but then he is stationed in Ft.Lewis Washington. We traveled to Missouri to see the graduation and then had Thanksgiving Dinner at our house . It was a long drive there and back and Gracie did very well. She was awake alot longer than I thought she would be. We had to make a pit stop in St Louis on the way to Ft Leonard Wood and we saw the Arch. We didnt stay long but it was nice to see it. We didnt have time to ride in the rollercoaster that is in it though. Well thats about it for now. I will write more later... I have to post some pics of Aunt Cindy's wedding that was on Sat. Nov 26th. It was sweet:) Dusty we are proud of you and wish you the best.

How is everyone...? well we had our first snow fall wednesday. We got about 6-9 inches. Gracie was blinded by the snow when she woke up the next morning. We got our Christmas lights up and she was excited when we took her outside to see them all. She is growing so fast. Crawling everywhere and faster than you can think. She loves to follow dad around, but he is too quick for her so sometimes she just spins in circles and giggles. We had some fun with the leaves this month before the snow came. ( see pics). I have been fine and keeping busy with Pampered Chef. If anyone would like to place an order please let me know. Jeremy is busy in the garage with the airplane when he has time. Dustin is graduating Basic/AIT training this week and he will be home at my house for Thanksgiving and then goes home for home-town recuiting. Not sure if he will be home for the Holidays though. We will have to wait and see. Well thats about it for now. I will try to keep up with the pictures and letting you all know how we are. Please write to us and let us know how you are.

Hello all... Wow, what a month we are experiencing up here. The month of October has been filled with happiness and then a feeling of great loss. Jeremy and are still trying to understand all that has happened. Oct 14th Jeremy, I and the aviation community lost two wonderful men in a mid-air collision here in Ohio. Mark Schaden and Jack Plavcan. Mark was survived by his wife Jenny and their 3 wonderful kids ( 5, 3 and 1). Jack was survived by his wife and 4 kids( dogs ). Both men were outstanding in the community and a lot of fun to be around. We are honored to have known them and have them touch our lives in such a memorable way. We will miss them. To add to the sorrow, I received a phone call on Thursday , Oct 20th that my Aunt Donna had passed away from Cancer. She has had a hard battle with Cancer for only a short while. We know now that she is not in any more pain and can rest. We love you Aunt Donna and please know that you will be missed very much but never forgotten as the things you have taught us and instilled in us will remain. So... when we received the news that she had died.. we were on the first flight out Friday morning and the services were that weekend. ( 3 funerals in 1 week) The services for my Aunt Donna were wonderful and it was really nice to see some of the family that I haven't been able to in such a long time. I hope that we do keep in touch and see each other more often. I would like to see them all ... not in a funeral setting. Visiting with the family is a blessing that came out of this sorrowing time. I don't want to waste it. So ... we are just trying to get back to some sort of normalcy around here. Jeremy is back to work and trying to get the snow blower on the riding lawn mower for the winter and blowing leaves everywhere. I have been trying to keep busy and getting some little things done around here... like putting up Christmas lights! Gotta do it now while it is nice and not a blizzard :) OH>>> yeah I almost forgot.. Jeremy got an 9 point buck this season ( Oct 14th) It weighed in at 195lbs., gutted and hanging on the scale before processing. He is getting it mounted. I will attach a picture for you. He is very proud!! Gracie is doing well.. Growing and she has 5 teeth already and she is now 7 months old!!! Starting to crawl ( not on her hands a knees yet but low crawling though) Fast little thing though. She got all dressed up and we went to a few houses... TRICK OR TREATING. She looked so cute.... she was a pumpkin. I attached a few pics for you . Well ... I guess that is enough for now. I will let you know more about what all is going on here in OHIO... later in NOV> If I don't write soon.. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Love you All and please write when you get a chance...
