Idle hands...

So, on days that we don't have something to occupy ourselves...this is what we do. Mr. Mustacho hung out for the day and then made his exit around bathtime. June would have had one too, but it sure is hard to get an little one to hold still for artist purposes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was Jack's first acting job (of many, I'm sure). His school had their Thanksgiving play and Jack was one of the Indians who welcomed the Pilgrims. They worked all week on their lines and where they would stand. Unfortunately I cannot share with you what those lines were, something about 9 three year-olds trying to all speak in unison...

We then shared in a huge feast and had a wonderful time.

Halloween

Happy November to everyone...the frenzy begins!

We had a GREAT Halloween. Our church held it's 1st annual Trunk-or-Treat and the whole town was invited. When the dust settled (drought humor) the final head count was in the 600's. Pretty amazing for a small little chuch like us. God is good!! Jack and June had a ball, there were so many kids and fun things to do. Oh, and candy...how silly of me. The youth of our chuch have taken a liking to our kids and vice versa. It was not an odd sight to see one of the girls running around holding June or helping Jack on the Bounce House slide. It was so wonderful to have a safe, loving place for our kids to play and enjoy Halloween.

Hope you all had a great night as well!

...our leading lady

June is coming into her own, for those of you that haven't seen her in awhile. She and I get to spend a lot of time just the two of us with Jack at school now. This is perfectly timed with the "I do not want to be left alone" phase of toddlerhood. She is determined to get run over in busy parking lots and roll down our driveway (some of you will understand this more than others)...she refuses to be held ANYMORE!! Unless she wants you to hold her...it's a very fine line and we walk it carefully.

September brings...

Well, September was a BIG month for the Heitmans. Jack started preschool!!! He is lucky enough to be going with his best friend, Katie, and they are in the same class. Actually, they have become somewhat of a sensation at Bethel Methodist. At any given time, Tuesday thru Thursday between the hours of 9 and noon you may hear "JackandKatie" and some sort of direction afterward. Katie's mom and I take turns driving the kiddo's to school. It is working out really well for both of us. We get to spend alone time with the babies and try our hardest to be cool when it's our turn behind the wheel.

Arizona in August??

Yes, crazy as it sounds, me and the kiddo's visited the grandparents in Phoenix during the hottest part of the year. Of course, it is hot all the time, so "hottest" is relative. Jack and June had the best time with Poppi & Gram. June took a little while to warm up, but once she did, she was Poppi's girl. We all got spoiled completely and loved every minute of it. Poor Dad was all by himself back in S.C., but he has a secret project that kept him busy.

It sure was fun, but it's nice to be back home.

Camping in Black Mt., N.C.

Hello All..During the end of July, we Heitmans went on a camping trip. We kind of crashed a long on-going party of dear friends of ours. The Essig (Jack's best friend Jed) family and friends have been going to the same campground in the Mt. Mitchell area of Black Mt., N. Carolina for many years. It is a mission to include more friends and family every year...be it by marriage, birth or new friends. We feel honored to have been invited and will be back next year.
