Growing Like Zucchini


Well Toby is here now and if you haven't heard the amazing story of his birth, please ask, we love to tell the story!

So, life with two kids has been great so far. Our cousin, Bethany, said it best, "Having two kids is twice the fun without twice the work." It's fun seeing Olivia interact with Toby and be the big sister. So far she's brushed his teeth, fed him a frosted mini wheat (we found him screaming with the evidence stuck between his gums), pulled him out of his car seat, sneaks into his room to either steal his pacifier or shove it into his mouth while he is sleeping, and much much more! Needless to say, we have to watch her very closely. Olivia's vocabular is growing and so is her ability to communicate. Toby is still pretty mellow, which we're thankful for.

Last week Jeff ran a 1/4 marathon in the Montana Marathon as part of a company relay team. His company had 3 relay teams and put up a challenge that the 2 losing teams had to buy the winning team lunch at the restaurant of their choice. Jeff's team won by about 3 minutes, so he enjoyed free lunch after the marathon at Old Chicago.

Naomi has been busy harvesting and preserving garden produce in addition to her mommy duties.


Go Daddy!


Aww..., she left her pigtails in!

1st Heidner Blog Post, August 16, 2009

Hello friends and family, welcome to our blog! We hope to keep you all posted with the latest news, pictures, and videos from the Jeff and Naomi household.

First off in exciting news, Jeff just got a new Stihl chain saw this weekend. It cuts through wood like the tazmanian devil.

Second, Naomi got her 1st cell phone this weekend. She's pretty excited that she got one before Olivia. The number is our current home phone number, which used to be our grandparents number and we're trying to keep it in the family.

And finally, the news you've been waiting for, Naomi still hasn't had her baby. He's due this Friday (Aug. 21st), so stay tuned for more blogging on that!


Since we don't have any pictures to post of the above exciting news, we'll give you some of Olivia (that's who you want to see anyway, right?)
