The Heidinger Adventure

Hey everyone. I know that it has been awhile since I have posted anything, including pictures and I am sorry. I have been very busy this summer. Pampered chef is going well and keeping me busy, and then when I am not... We have been traveling a little. In June - Gracie , Mommy and Gunner went to Georgia to see Aunt Ellie, Uncle Robert and the Boys. It was great to see them. We stayed about two weeks and then drove home. When we got back , Mommy finally went and painted the kitchen ( now it is the 2nd room in the house to painted after and year and a half). Then it was time to get ready for Mommy to go to Chicago( by herself) for her Pampered Chef Conference... Which was awesome!!! When I got back there was about 2 days and then Mommy, Daddy and Gracie went on a trip. Gracie went to Grandma Heidingers and spent the week out there with her, grandpa, Aunt Kelsey and Aunt Shanda. They all enjoyed having her there very much. Mommy and Daddy went to Oshkosh( ALONE) and was there all week and we had a great time seeing old friends. While we were there, I got to meet Aaron Tippin( Country Singer) and Hunka Hunka Harrison Ford!!! I even shook his hand. That was awesome. I have attached a picture of him.. I was in the front row and about 10 feet away during his presentation of his movie there. Also while we were there Jeremy got some contacts with a Business that is here in OH and he is now employed with them ( Kelly Aerospace) He started Monday and WE love it. He doesn't have to work nights anymore, so he is home for dinner and night time activities. It has been really great this week. Less stressful, that's for sure. Well there is a little more news to share. My brother is leaving for IRAQ in Oct and my mother is hosting a farewell party for him and 7 other troops in his unit that will be going as well. We are asking if anyone would like to donate some items for the soldiers over seas as we are putting some boxes together and sending them over there in Dustin's Honor! If you would like to contribute please email me at Denah0818@aol.com and I will be happy to send you a list of items that they have requested. We are also having a Pig Roast at our house in Sept so that will be awesome to bring friends and family together. So we are keeping busy and doing well. Gracie is getting bigger and has more hair now. She is getting more and more sassy everyday too:) I think she gets that from her Daddy:) On another note... We have lost a friend of the family> Chris Boggs. Cancer was the cause and we are hoping that Donna and their son Tanner can find peace with it all. I know that it is not easy to accept however, I know that their faith in God with triumph. Please keep them in your prayers as well. Also please keep another little one in your prayers. Our friends little baby, Hayden is only 5 months and has a hole in his heart and other problems that are hard to swallow. His is scheduled for surgery next week, so please pray for his healing and for his mother's strength. Thank you so very much and please keep in touch!!! Love you all ... and thanks for the reminders to post more pics. Please send me some again if it has been too long!- Denah
