Meeting Ben

We recently got to meet the newest member of the Heim family--little Ben! He's a real cutie, and we could tell already that Bradley was going to make a great big brother. Brad helped out by retrieving Ben's bottle from the fridge (along with some mini M&M's).

Summer Festival in Carol Stream

We went to visit Uncle Danny, Auntie Anuta and Dominik. We went to a nice festival in Carol Stream, where Jimmy got to go on some rides and eat ice cream, and Josie got to nap--even though it was pretty hot and humid!
























The rides were fun for Jimmy. He's finally old enough now (and brave enough) to try some neat things on his own, like the big slide (he was really scared and held up the line a bit--but did it!) and the swings.

Last Day at St. George

Jimmy's last day of school included another program. The kids sang about seven songs, and Jimmy was sad that the year was over!

Kite Flying at Bettenhausen

We went to a little kite flying event a couple of weekends ago with our friends Mike and Chris--and their son Aiden. Jimmy and Aiden had fun flying kites, blowing bubbles and eating Sno Cones! Dad had to hike across the creek a couple of times to retreive Jimmy's SpongeBob kite, which at one point got its line severed by another kite. THAT kite got its comeuppance, as it got stuck later in the tree, where it remains to this day . . .

Jimmy's First Sporting Event

Jimmy started a little intramural soccer at St. George. For four-year-olds, that mostly means the kids run around and chase the ball for forty minutes (as you'll see in the vid).

National Bingo Day

Jimmy visited his friend Ethan in Indiana recently, where they were prepping for the upcoming National Bingo Night. Josie had fun playing with her toys.
