Hettinger Happenings

Here is a picture of me since my surgery with Charly. I have some video of Jake tossing Charly into the air but I can't figure out my camera. I'll keep trying. Here are some other pictures too -- the guy in the white suit is Dad for the disco ball.

Bryant and Krisite are having a baby at the end of January!!!!!!!! They let the whole family know with a little puzzle that they sent to each person!! We each had to solve it! We are so excited to have a new baby! Our family just keeps growing and growing!!

Well, I am down 36 lbs. Wowie! Kip told me one day when she comes to work she is going to find a skirt on the stairs and she'll know it's mine!! I feel good. Still trying to get all my protein and all my water. Can't believe Charly is leaving me in a week to go back home to her daddy in Texas!! But I know she can't wait to see him. This is what she can do now: squat stands up without holding on says baba all the time understands "no" knows what "jumpy jump" is likes to do "so big" loves Moose sings loves to eat scrambled eggs and real bananas

So I am down 20 pounds since my surgery 2 weeks ago.... I can really see things getting bigger on me. I am beginning to feel like my old self, but I had to have a nap today. Tomorrow I am going back to work for 1/2 day. Last night we went to Rombout Creek in Kingston for amazing fireworks. The whole show was like the finale at Freedom Park!! It was so cold but it was a lot of fun, even though I said I wasn't having a good time, because I had to walk across a bridge twice then we ended up sitting on the bridge to watch the fireworks! In the water were tons of boats watching the fireworks. It reminded me of when we use to go all over with grandma and grandpa Hettinger. Which reminded me of this story..... One July 4th weekend, me and dad went camping. It was my first camping experience ever! Dad got me a small yellow backpack and in it I packed a purple nightie! Well, it was a crazy trip, but to make the story short, it ended up pouring, so me and dad ended up on Grandma a

Jake and I had a lot of fun going across the country in mid-june. We stopped at little america hotel for 50 cent ice cream cones (which they advertise twenty miles ahead!), found traveling books on cd that you can rent and drop off at lots of locations across the country, stopped for an evening in Lake Michigan and walked along the beach and ate at a fun outdoor patio restaurant overlooking a marina, washed the mini of all the gross bugs, ate a weird King Kong restaurant, and a old country style restaurant ( jake was very excited about this!) We packed the car with as much of jake's stuff as we could, filled a cooler with yummy treats, bought a huge map, and off we went. And here we are now!!!
