WISHING EVERYONE A VERY "HOPPY EASTER"!

Monday, April 6, 2009

THANK YOU EVERYONE...

Thank you so much to everyone for coming on Saturday and a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who helped with the wedding!! Sink Family...thank you so very much for taping at the wedding. I really appreciate it more than you know. I cannot wait to see the video!

I hope that you all had a great time! Dustin and I had such a great time and we so happy to share this experience with all of you. Thank you everyone for the gifts as well, we appreciate it!!

Also, just wanted to let everyone know that we are now going on a honeymoon:) I don't know why I didn't think of this before...but we are going to go to Florida and stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house. They are also letting us borrow their car, so the expense should be very minimal so that makes us very happy! We leave Wednesday morning and will be there for a week. It should be a really good time, especially the weather, considering we all woke up to snow this morning!!

Also, I thought I would check with family first, we found a bracelet at the reception. It is black and has small and large black jewels on it and it. Let me know if someone is missing it.

Again, thank you so much to everyone!!!! We love you all!!!!

Ashley & Dustin BALLER:)

New Heckber



Ethan and Sarah have a new baby! Brody Wayne was born Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 8:10 am. He was 7.7lbs and 20.5in. He's a beautiful baby with a full head of hair and dimples like Ethan. Both mom and baby are doing well. They are home. James seems ok with him. Rolan, I think is a little jealous. This makes grandchild number 10 for mom and dad. Congratulations Ethan and Sarah!

Happy 13th Birthday BRENNA



Brenna will be a teenager tomorrow on St. Patrick's Day, Happy Birthday BooBoo!!!!

Thursday, March 12, 2009

We moved again!

Hello Heckber's! How is everyone doing? Hopefully well. I just wanted to let everyone know that we moved. Our lease on the apartment was up so we needed to find somewhere to live. We finally found a house in Imperial Gardens off of Stellhorn. The girls get to stay at the school they were in and we have more room for the kids to run around, and it came with a hot tub. We just moved this last weekend but our phone numbers stayed the same. Talk to everyone soon. Take care.

Thank you to Mom, Dad, Aunt Lori, Kris, Eric, Melissa & Nick for helping us move and get the house ready and helping take care of the kids. We greatly appreciate everything you did for us. Love you all!

Hey Aunt Pam, still waiting to see your latest masterpiece!!!

Sunday, February 22, 2009

For those who were not able to make it to my house last weekend, I wanted to share this with you. The poem was written by Kris for Grandma's funeral last year and I hired an artist to draw the hands that match the words of the poem. The needle, thread, ring, cookie cutter and rosary all belong to Grandma and the wheat was from Grandpa Heckber's funeral. I will be making copies for those who have requested, if you want a copy let me know and I will be sure to include your name with the order.

Heckber Weekend

I have come to the conclusion that family should not spend the night together, you learn way too much info that can and will be used against you!!!



Thanks for the lesson in noodle-making A. Lori, we will be having a great supper this week!! I think we all had a great time, stayed up a little late, but had fun just sitting around talking and sorry A. Lori, making fun of your dogs when your weren't in the room, ok, only the one running into stuff, sorry.



Thanks for having us up!! By the way, for those of you that were not able to see the artwork A. Lori had made of Grandma, you need to check it out, it turned out very beautiful.

Dad's over the hill...again!!!


It's another year for my Dad - he turns the big 50 today!!! HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!

New Project........


Sorry it's been so long since posting- it had been so long I forgot how to!

I'm sure you all know how much I've always enjoyed "crafts", well, I've started a new one..............again! (In my spare time!!) I took an oil painting class & totally enjoyed it! I've got a lot to learn, but it's amazing what you can learn in 1 1/2 hours!

Just thought I would share my "first" painting so that when I become a famous artist (hahahaha!), you can all say you saw my first painting!

Looking forward to the weekend- hope to see you all!

Love

Pam

Another year older



Well, another year has gone by and my baby is now 3 years old!!! Liam's birthday went pretty nice. Family and friends showed up. He got a lot of good toys...that make noise. He fixes things with his Handy Manny tools. He got a remote control car "Lightening McQueen" from his sitter, Chandra. The cat became aquainted with that pretty quick. She wanted to chase it and play with it and got her tail fur caught in the spinning wheel. It was funny yet I felt bad all at the same time.
That's all for now. The boys go to the Dr tomorrow for their 3 year and 9 month check ups! Talk to everyone later!

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Only a few weeks away from the First Annual Heckber North Winter Gathering and just a few house keeping items. I need a headcount for those coming up to the Twin on Friday night so that I have enough room reserved. So far here is what I have:
Mike, Julie plus 3
Larry and Mic
Melissa plus 3
Amy plus 1
Ashley plus 1
That total puts us at 17 and the small back room can handle around 20 if needed. If we go over then I will just move everyone to the main dinning room. If anyone else is coming for Friday night just email me or give me a call so I can make the adjustments early on Friday and get the space reserved. Email address is lheckber@embarqmail.com
Overnight guest are:
Melissa plus 3
Amy plus 1
Ashley plus 1
Total of 8 so everyone gets a bed.

Have not heard from Steve, Kathy and family, Gene and Karol, Tom, Pam and family, or David and Judy. Hope you have time to make the trip for however long it may be.

I am having Sue's mom make us some pies for dessert, so for you that like raisin pie let me know if you are coming and I will make sure I add that to her list. As of right now we are having apple, cherry and peach.

Look forward to seeing everyone! And don't forget about the noodle making....5 lbs of flour and two dozen eggs, clean sheet and zip lock bags.



Look forward to seeing everyone and hope the weather cooperates.

New E-mail

FYI: Kirby and Melissa now have a new email address:

kmsink@verizon.net

Monday, January 26, 2009

Taxi service available

If we get the van fixed in time I can take or bring back 3 extras. If not, only 1, I'll let you know. If anybody needs a ride, or wants to stay Friday but does not have a ride back Saturday, let me know.

Brenna is making her soon to be famous, Grandma Cookie tapioca pudding, Aunt Lori came up with a tweaked recipe. If any of you have tried to follow one of Grandma's hand-written recipes you know what I am talking about and it never seems to taste as good.

Hey Bradley, it seems the other week wasn't a good one for the Heckber boy's to be driving!!??

Hello Everyone









Hi- Hope everyone is doing well!! No we are not in our house yet but we are working on drywall. The upstairs is complete, we are now working on the downstairs. Scott is telling me we will move in sometime late Feb early March. I sure hope soon I am so sick of living in Ft Wayne and Scott being gone so much. Gracie had her 4 month check up last week she is 13lbs 8oz 24 1/2 inches long. She is on cereal twice a day now and loving every bit of it. She has such a cute personality-I know every new Mom says that:) but it is true. Gracie has started to her babysitter full time now, which was a really hard transition for me. I really liked the how convenient it was for Mom, Dad and Ashley to watch her. We decided to have Kathy Deluzak(Wyss) be her babysitter. Gracie absolutely loves her which makes things so much easier for me. It is so nice to be in contact with Kathy again, we are really happy she was able to watch Gracie full time.

1st Annual "Heckber North Winter" Gathering

Too take a spin from Mic's winter blahs...Sue and I would like to invite everyone to the first annual "Heckber North Winter Gathering." This weekend is an open house type weekend so come and stay a few hours or stay for a few days.
To start the weekend I have reserved the non smoking room on Friday, February 13th at the Twin Six at 7:00 pm. Order off the menu and pay your own bills (I love all of you, but I have also seen some of you eat as well). Just a reminder that the Twin only accepts cash or checks...
Activities for Saturday and Sunday are up for suggestion, I am sure there are enough of us we can come up with something we can do. Bring your Wii's and other TV games and I think the kids will be happy. I plan on making noodles and if you want to participate all you need to bring is 5 pounds of flour, 2 dozen eggs, clean sheet and zip lock bags. If you supply the flour you can take home about 8 gallon zip lock bags of noodles. Sue got me two noodles machines for Christmas and I am ready to get them both going and mass produce some homemade noodles.
Sue and I will make a roaster of goulash and chili for the weekend. Feel free to add to menu if you like and bring your own beverages.

Just let me know if you are planning to attend and if you are going to spend the night. I don't want to have too many overnight guests and run out of sleeping room. Look forward to seeing those who can attend

January blah's

January is half over with and only 8 more weeks of winter. What's everybody doing out there to keep from going crazy(unless of course you like winter)? How are the wedding plans coming? And what about the house Amber---ready to move yet? I will watch GRACIE when you do move. Anybody out there want to get together for a Super Bowl Party or Valentine's Day party??? Can you tell I am ready for anything? Except for maybe ice shating on the Sink pond.
Hope everybody is doing well including Sue with her broken leg and the sadness of losing her nephew Chance. Anybody remember Patrick Mooney---would be seminarian from Ireland? Did you see he was the policeman that shot the Avilla bank robber? Interesting choice of career change. What's Deke, Seth and Ethan up to--?
Hope you guys come out of hibernation and we can hear from all of you???

Girl Scout Cookie Time :)

If anyone is interested in girl scout cookies let me know. Alexis is a Brownie for the first time and it is that time of year. We will have cookies available until sometime in March. They have the usual thin mints, caramel delites, shortbread, peanut butter patties, peanut butter sandwiches, lemonade, and they are offering a cinnamon cookie they come in 100 calorie packs. They are $3.50 a box. Let me know. Talk you soon. I hope everyone is doing well.

Tuesday, January 6, 2009



Here we all are at Mom's for Christmas...frosting the cookies. I had so much fun doing this. Thank you so much Aunt Lori for baking the cookies for me and coming to Mom and Dad's for our Christmas. We enjoyed having you and Sue (even if she was all drugged up!!!).

Christmas morning came very early this year...5:10 a.m., to be exact. I think this is the earliest my kids ever woke me up.

A time for work



With the ice storm that came through Mike and I had a lot of branches come down. Our mulberry tree was completely hopeless. A couple branches came down on Liam and Jayson's playset and broke the top. A tree uprooted on the side of the house. SO...Dad and Deke came over and cut down a lot! I got home and the bushes lining my neighbor's and my property line were gone. Along with the mulberry tree. The front of my house by the road is totally covered with branches. You can't even walk on the sidewalk. Deke was wonderful enough to be a monkey and climb my big tree in the back yard and cut a couple branches down. It was pretty intense at one point. BUT he didn't take down my fence in the process and he's alive to climb another day. I've got a stack of firewood if anyone needs it. Just let me know!

Sorry it's been so long!

So, now you can see why it's been so long- I forgot how to do this! Bear with me!
We had a great Christmas with Brian being home with the girls for 3 days- we got to be together as a family- that doesn't happen too often! Kelly was unable to come, but it was good to have everyone else together!
We have been blessed with good health in the family for the last two months! Everyone seems to be doing well, except for the typically colds, etc...
I am so thankful for this family and their generous hearts- you've been a blessing!
Love you all!
Pam (& Tom too!)

Sorry it's been so long!

Happy New Year's wishes to all!!

Sue's surgery went well, but her recovery is not going so well. She is in a lot of pain and the pain medication if not taken early or double the dose is not doing the trick. Today she started to feel better in the morning, but as the day continues so does her pain. The doctors office called and gave her the go ahead for the next few days to take 2 pills every 3 hours...YE HAA. So far she has been sleeping for 3 hours and I will be waking her up soon to take the next 2 pills. I think if she stays ahead of the pain for the next few days she will be okay physically. Now I just have to get her through to her next doctors appt on Jan 15th as that is when he will let her know if she can start using crutches and have some weight bearing so that she can get out of the house a little on her own. Have a safe New Year's eve!!

The Infamous Blond Wig


Sorry Mom, you know if you're going to pose for it, it will end up on the blog. Amy made me do it!! :)

CRISTMAS PAST!!!!!!!!

I hope everbody's Christmas was as good as mine? Like Holly said we celebrated the Larry family Friday after Christmas with a Mexican fiesta. Actually it was quite good!!! The only thing was my frozen Marguarita bucket did not freeze up in time. Darn!! Guess we will have it for New Years. Later in the day Mom & Theron and Pat & Ben came over. And after the Dr.s visit, Sue & Lori came and cookies were frosted. By the way Amy those cookies are really goood. Oh, and the blonde wig was part of Taylors gift and I just wanted to see what I would look like as a blonde-----forget it!!!! Christmas Day was spent over at my mom's with Pat & Ben. We had a very nice and quiet day. Christmas Eve we went to the Childrens Mass at St.Charles to listen to Alexis sing in the choir. (Good job Alexis).
Happy New Year to everyone. Have a good and SAFE time if you are out for the evening!!!
Love, Mic

Sunday, December 28, 2008

Holidays are over, it is time to start posting again.

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. We had a very quiet christmas eve and day. All of our parties were before or after. We had a great time at Moms for the Larry Heckber family Christmas Party. It started off with a mexican fiesta and then we ended with Mom in a blonde wig. Good times : )

Aunt Lori I hope Sue is doing better. Let us know if she needs anything.

Everyone have a Happy New Year.

MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!!!


Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!

Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Ok!!!!!! I think I did it!!!!

Melissa took pity on me and came over toshow me how to load pictures. Now if I can only remember how the next time, I will be doing good. Merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year.

Well, this isn't my favorite, nor is it my tree at home. I do not own a digital camera like other family members, so I decided to find one and post as mine. After going through all of our pictures on the cd's (thank you Melissa) I could not find that darn silver tree that rotated around in circle with the green, red and blue flood lights at the bottom....which is really my favorite, I had to go with the only one I could find. Besides, Larry and Steve apparently missed this beautiful tree so they can see what they missed. If any of you have a picture of that beautiful rotating tree, I would love to see it again.
Merry Christmas to all of you....

Tuesday, December 16, 2008




Well, my Christmas tree is not big and beautiful, but it's a tree that can be knocked down by the kids, dog, or cats and I won't really care. The cats knocked it down last year and broke my important decorations, so the ones I have left don't go on the tree.
Liam helped me make Grandma's Gingerbread cookies, so I made him a pretzel shaped one with the last bit. Brooklynn came over the day after Thanksgiving and helped me make sugar ones.
Thankgiving turned out good. My turkey was good.
Sorry i didn't make it to Christmas. Liam was runnung fevers all weekend. I think he's finally getting his 2 yr molars. (@ almost 3 lol)
If I don't post before Christmas, hope everyone's goes well!!!!

Taylor and Darrenn, two peas in a pod

I had to post this picture, it was so cute. Darrenn fell asleep on the chair while Noah and I were making supper Sunday night. Taylor went and sat with Darrenn while he slept, and she fell asleep within about 5 minutes. Now...if you look very carefully, Darrenn seems to be holding onto Taylor's blanky! Priceless!

Robbins/Dray Christmas tree


Here is a full view of our Christmas tree! If you notice presents under the tree, they are all from Darrenn. He is done with all his shopping and even managed to wrap all the presents (color coordinating each one to the specific person it belongs to), he is very organized!!!

Our tree...


Hey everyone! Here is a picture of our tree. It's actually a picture of our tree last year, but it looks the exact same this year...minus all of the presents though:) The past couple of months have been rough for us with Dustin being laid off, so I was too embarrassed to show a picture of our tree this year with absolutley no gifts!!!


Also, I know I am late but it was great seeing everyone at Christmas! We had a great time!

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Have we all fallen off the face of the earth???

Do you all think that just because we were together last Saturday that we have filled some sort of quota for time spent with each other? I know everybody is busy getting ready for Christmas but drop a line once in a while. I am still waiting to see your trees, don't feel bad if you think you cannot possibly compete with mine :)

Sink's Christmas Tree




Ok Amy, per your request, these are our pictures of our christmas trees. The tree on the top was decorated by the men in the house, as you can see, they really have outdone themselves this year. The bottom tree was decorated by me and Brenna, we have to apologize, we really didn't have that much time to give it our best.


Thursday, December 11, 2008

Assignment for all...

For all who are reading this, grab a camera and take a picture of your Christmas tree. I would like to see all the different styles that us Heckbers have.

Hope to see lots of responses on this one!!!

Christmas Reminder

I really hope everybody is able to make it out on Saturday!! Don't forget to bring your games along, this is not an eat and run!! Kirby has his Twister game all ready to go and since it is technically at the church he's been told it is NOT clothing optional :) See you all there...........

Last Chance To Update Info

This is everbody's last chance to update any info I might have been given for the "Heckber Directory". If you have changed any phone numbers or email addresses or anything please let me know ASAP. If all goes well I will have a copy of the photos and directory for Saturday!!

Amy's Surgery!

Amy is going in this Friday for sugery on her foot and they will be doing 3 diffrent repairs. She is a bit nervous so if you have the time maybe you could send her some words of encouragement. Unfortunately she will miss the xmas party but the kids will be there. Thanks.

Gracie/New House




Hi everyone just a little update Gracie is three months old today. How the time flys!!!!! Mom is watching her this week while I am at work she will have her for the next three weeks, then Dad gets to spend quality time with her:) Ashley, Mom and Dad have been a big help watching her since the new babysitter can not take her until Jan 5th. We got our first family picture taken last month and Gracies two month picture she does so well getting her picture taken. I think she takes after Ashley in that department:)
The house is coming along great hopefully we will be putting up drywall at the end of the month....... Everyone is more than welcome to stop by and see it Saturday after Thanksgiving/Christmas it is only three or four blocks from Melissas church. Scott will only be able to come to the party for a little while then he will have to get back to work. We cant wait for it to get done so we can move into our new home!!! Hope all is going well for everyone see you on Saturday!!! I
We just completed decorating the Christmas tree. It was a little sad looking at all the ornaments Grandma Cookie bought the kids over the years. They sure will be treasured for years to come.
It looks like these boys had too much turkey. They look so cute with their stuffed animals and baby dolls!!!

thanksgiving past!!!

hi all----thanksgiving is now past and i hope everybody had a good one with lots of great food and family togetherness and thankful for all that we have in all of our families. the last 2 week-ends were full of all these things for Larry and I and we are truly thankful for all our family and friends.
Don't forget this saturday the 6th is at Melissa's church in Zanesville at 1:00. everybody should have the dish they are responsible for and we have a game set up for the younger kids. also bring your own drinks---dishware will be provided. If you have a favorite game or cards to play that would be fun too! Stay healthy and we will see you all next saturday.

Finally have a working computer...





Well my computer decided to die on me, so Mike bought me a new one for my birthday/Christmas. I just wanted to give a quick update and show you some recent pics of my boys...all of them. The one with "Jason" is Mike dressed up for Halloween. My boss puts on a great Halloween party every year and this year Mike, me and the boys dressed up. Mike looked so authentic we took quite a few pics. The other is Jayson and Liam. They are both getting so big. Liam is starting to eat more so I think he's finally going through a growth spurt and Jayson is officially six months old and more than likely 20lbs! Big boy.
Nothing really new with us. I'm glad that everything is going better with Jason and Angie. I am making my first turkey for Thankgiving tomorrow and Mom and Dad (maybe Travis) are coming over. Wish me luck!

Monday, November 17, 2008

Good News......

We just wanted to let everyone know that we are doing good!! We finally have no news. No news is good news right! Thank you to everyone that prays for us. Please keep them coming. I'm sure that's how we got through this far.

Hunter just went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and weights 13 lbs. He's not weighing what the doc would like but he's still getting big.
Kaleb and Kobey are doing good. They just went to the Polar Express with Pam(mee maw) and Tom(Papa). They had a great time.

Pics soon I promise!
Can't wait to see everyone at Christmas! It will just be the kids and I, Jason has to work. Bummer.
Love Jason, Angie, Kaleb, Kobey and Hunter

Galena, Illinois

We are back from our little trip to Galena, Ill. We had some points left from our timeshare and it was use them or lose them. after looking for something close by I finally found this mining town clear up in the nw corner of Ill. they have preserved their history from way back when they mined lead and it was really a neat little town. Built into the big hills there, we visited the downtown area full of shops, tasted wine at a winery, took a trolley tour. We also saw the home of president Grant, went to an Irish pub where we were entertained by Irish dancers and then an Irish band. We attended St Michael's church, one of three around the town and also visited a convent where a priest many years ago started the dominican nuns. All in all,we had a nice and much needed restful trip.
hope you didn't mind me sharing our trip with all of you.

Friday, November 7, 2008

My little Taylor Addison will be turning 6 on November 8th!!! We celebrated her birthday last Sunday at Flanagan's Restaurant. She had a great time and is very thankful that Grandma and Grandpa Heckber, Uncle Kirby, Aunt Melissa, Kaylah, Cody, Kyle and Brenna were all able to make it. Happy 6th Tator bugs!!!











Sunday, November 2, 2008

I've finally decided to post again............

Ok, so nobody wants me to post bad news, but that's about all that's been happening!
If you haven't heard- Jason was admitted to the hospital again on October 21 with the same problem with his heart. He had another cardiac ablation done and was released on Oct 24. As of right now, he has had no further problems- the doctor is pretty confident that they "got it" this time!
He got home on Friday and Angie was taken by EMS to the hospital on Tuesday for a seizure. They called in a cardiologist & neurologist- she had blood work, EEG, EKG, CAT Scan & MRI. They could not find a reason for the seizure- the only thing they mentioned was it could have been from some medication she was taking. She came home that evening.
Both of them seem to be doing really well, despite all they have been through! Please continue to keep them in your prayers!
Since this is November- I am not planning on posting any more bad news- only good news from here!!!!!

Hospice Memorial

FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE UNABLE TO MAKE IT LAST NIGHT TO THE HOSPICE MEMORIAL HELD UP AT ROME CITY, YOU MISSED A NICE EVENT. IT WAS SHORT, A COUPLE OF READINGS AND TWO SONGS, AND A CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY, WHICH WAS SAD BUT YET A GOOD REMEMBERANCE. I AM SORRY FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT. LORI AND SUE, FRIEDA AND FRIEND(SORRY I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME) TOM, MELISSA, LARRY & I WERE THERE TO SHARE THE HANKIES. KEEP VELMA IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, ESPECIALLY AS THE HOLIDAYS APPROACH US. LOVE TO ALL.

Technical Difficulties

Technology is great when it works for you, when it doesn't, well.......

Our internet carrier decided to pack it up meaning the email ksink@fwi.com is no longer good. For the time being our new address is dodzikeng@earthlink.net

We are in the process of switching to Verizon however they said it could take up to 30 days. If anybody did email us in the last week, all our emails are in limbo somewhere never to be seen again.

Halloween Party







Each year at our "Larry Heckber Halloween Party" we think of something different to spice the party up. Last year it was a murder mystery party. This year, all the adults had to wear a costume that was from home. Meaning, we could not purchase anything. Unfortunately, I did not take any photo's of anybody else but my "group". I dressed as a car accident victim and Darrenn was my Doctor. Listed below is what everyone else was...since we don't seem to have pictures of them:
Dad: I think a Notre Dame fan?!?!
Mom: An old lady...who lost her dog. She definitely won top prize, she was hilarious!!!
Kris and Eric: Toga
Kirby: Football player
Melissa: Housewife
Holly: Housewife (You both are SO original...j/k)
Steve: Bostwick Braun employee (again...very original)

Thanks Kirby and Melissa for hosting another great Halloween party.

Needing some info

Hey Aunt Pam, our e-mail has been down for a few days and probably a few more due to converting. I cannot retrieve any of the sent e-mails from you meaning I do not have my info to finish this Heckber Directory. Can you get me the following info, maybe bring it Tuesday if you are still going, just don't e-mail it:).

Angie and kids middle names
Jason's home phone, if they have one
Jason or Angie's cell phones, if they want them included

Thanks again, I'm almost finished so hopefully I won't have to bother you much more!!

By the way, if you are going Tuesday could you please bring U. Tom's album??

Thanks!! --Melissa

Halloween Party at the Sink's

Newbie with it's seems like ALWAYS bad news!

This is Angie Jason's wife. Hello to everyone! I think this is a great way to let everyone know what's going on in peoples lives.
To start Jason is back in the hospital again as of last night. They are going to do his second ablation tomorrow around noon. Hopefully this will fix it. The meds he was sent home on obviously didn't work. Please keep us in your prayers. We need all we can get.

On a HAPPIER note: Hunter is doing good! He has a little reflex that he needs to grow out of but other then that he's doing wonderfully! I promise to post pics as soon as our life gets a little back to normal whatever that is.
Congrats to Amber on the new baby she's beautiful! Also congrats to Ashley on the engagement!!! At least some of the Heckber's are having good luck! We will keep you informed on Jason's progress. Love Angie

Gracie 6 week photos

Here are some new pictures of Gracie she is getting so big. She is now 6 weeks old and I am really not wanting to go back to work but I will soon have to return. I only have 6 more weeks left of maternity leave and I am sure it will go fast. She is such a good baby, she has her own little personality now which is so cute. You can see some of it come out in her pictures. Hope all is going well with everyone.



Do you know who Johann George Sorg is???

If any of you are interested in your heritage from Grandma's side of the family check out this website!!! I would have attached it but it is pretty overwhelming. This is the most info I have found so far all in one spot. The family tree begins with Johann Sorg b. 1775, which for me is the farthest back I have been able to come up with so far. Johann Sorg is the father to Heinrich Sorg who is the father of Peter Sorg who is the father of Edward Sorg who is the father of Velma. What is great about this is the birth and death dates and also burial locations. I highly recommend checking it out and printing it off to keep. The only down side is it looks like it was recorded twenty years ago or so. The good side is all those not recorded could be easily added. Let me know what you think!!

Once there choose the "register format" which easier to read than the "standard format"

Double date


Ashley, Dustin, Darrenn and I went on our first double date. We all had a great time. We met at this little bar and grill in Huntington then we went to the Haunted Hotel. They didn't think it was very scary, but I let out a few screams!!! Especially when the clown was following us!!! The whole thing was 3D and we had to wear the special glasses. It was pretty cool. Thanks Ash and Dustin for a fun night.
