Hettinger Happenings

Only in our family....we are in the middle of a thunder storm, but they are putting the pool up!! Dad said it almost flew away. How come this doesn't surprise me!! I am going to take pictures.

I had today in the poll...are we close?

Bryant starts his new job in Virginia on Monday. It's such a great blessing. He wanted a job with Volvo and that's exactly what he got. He has worked so hard in school, never missed a single day and even lost a lot of weight. He has just transformed himself into what he wanted (with the help of Kristie). We are so happy for them. Hopefully soon, they will post and put up some new pictures of where they are living. I can't wait to go and see them. Also, such a blessing that Stacey has a job for next year and that she found the perfect guy for her. We watched videos of her in her nursery school class showing off for dad and it all seemed like yesterday. Hard to imagine she is now done with college and about to affect the lives of young people. It's been me and Charly for the last few days. Grandpa is very busy with work and comes home late at night (like the old days when we had babies of our own). But Charly is fantastic, amazing and simply adorable and very a...

i loved spending the weekend with my favorite people doing my favorite things....scrabble, campfires, smores, being with the Hettingers, watching home videos, sitting on the deck, eating cheeseburgers, being with Jake everyday, dancing in the living room with jess... I needed this weekend really bad. The 7 hour drive back to maryland wasn't exactly part of the wonderfulness, but it was worth it. i really can't wait for this summer for more days like this.

I've been watching Charly all day. She's a good girl, but babies are a lot of work. I'll post some pictures when I have time to put the batteries in my camera! haha

The Birthday Boys Today is Daddy's Birthday! This whole week has been breathtaking! And today it's 90 and humid and the day he is in the yard digging and putting that retaining wall up. It could have gone up on Tuesday, but the town people thought we wanted to put the pool on the wall. Geeze. Wayne came on Wednesday night to fix the hole for the pool and then told dad he would come back on Thursday and tell him a short-cut way to do the retaining wall -- but dad waited all night --- and he never came. We hope he is all right. Anyway - it figures that on his birthday, in the heat, he is out there digging and building. We'll make it up to him this weekend. We are going to Shadows on the Hudson for dinner and then some birthday cake and camp fire in the yard. It's George's birthday too. I am so thrilled for Bryant and Kristie. Just about Kristie's whole family is going with them to Virginia!! That is so wonderful. They are really so supportive of every...
