Road Trip

Connor embarked on his first road trip without Mom and Dad this weekend. He left around 5am yesterday morning. He went to the Ozarks to visit his Great-grandma Wells with his Papaw and Nana. This is his third trip down, first with out me! It is so quiet around here. Dale and I enjoyed sleeping in, a movie and an adult dinner out. I woke up at 7:15 this morning, fully rested. I really tried hard to stay in bed, but just couldn't. Long gone are the days of sleeping til noon, even if you try. I'm a little nervous what kind of little boy will be returning to my home tonight. From the sounds of it, he has been having a blast. Powder sugar doughnuts for breakfast, chocolate bars for afternoon snack, pizza for dinner and a sugar cookie from the bakery while grocery shopping with Grandma. I pray there were veggies on the pizza and a large glass of milk with breakfast. I'm so glad he is able to experience this time away, I know I will forever cherish the times spent with my grandparents in the Ozarks. Chad and I were just as spoiled and rarely heard NO as well. I am cleaning the house today to pass the time til I get my hands on my little rug-rat. I miss him so much! I will try to post pictures of his big adventure.

I'm sure he was as easily contained this time as he has been in the past!!

Welcome Andrew Henry Hedenberg!!


My cousin Leslie brought another beautiful baby into the world on 9-16-08. Drew weighed 8lbs, 9oz and was 21 inches long. We are so happy for you all!!

We have had a great Saturday!! DMH has an employee picnic every September and this was our first year attending. There were so many things to do, great food, games and petting zoo and PONYS!!!! Connor had his first pony ride today. He loved every minute of it. I think I might have an animal lover. He was so happy to be in the petting zoo. He told me there was a bunny probably 15 times. Connor also tried cotton candy for the first time, by the time he actually ate it most of it was gone, thank goodness.

After the employee picnic, we attended a picnic supper with some friends from our church. We had such a great evening just hanging out with friends. The kids played on the playground equipment and Connor is so brave!!! He ran with the older kids like it was no big deal. (I'm sure being hyped up on cotton candy helped.)

I hope everyone has a great week and I will try very hard to make another entry before another month goes by.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the summer. How the time has flew by!!!

Riding is just so exhausting!

Playing with Ella last Saturday.

Fun in the sun in St. Charles.

Just relaxing and enjoying my first fudge pop!
