Biltmore Photo Shoot

Biltmore Photo Shoot

I sent the girls out to do some photo fun this afternoon, in celebration of Laurent’s graduation, and Geneva’s birthday.  They ended up at the Biltmore and Megan took some cute pix of her sisters, then brought them home and I played around with them some more.  We make a good team!

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day

You know, lots of people carp about the artificiality and commercial nature of made-up holidays like “Mother’s Day”… but I gotta tell ya, I kinda dig being made much of.   Especially when my day starts with a heartfelt poem from my beloved: To my wonderful wife, you’re simply the best, Together forever, here in our(…)

More Seuss!

More Seuss!

Saturday — what a miraculous and stupendous day to NOT have to drive to Show Low and back before 2:00pm!  After the third week without our other van, you’d think we’d be perturbed that it still wasn’t fixed – but I was nothing-but-thankful to have the burden of that drive lifted from our jam-packed weekend. (…)

GCC, Class of 2013

GCC, Class of 2013

On Friday, we celebrated a first for the Heidmann Family — the Glendale Community College Commencement Ceremony of 2013, wherein Laurent was granted her Associate’s Degree, with Honors. We had not been to the venue (Grand Canyon University) before, and were wise to leave early, not only so that Laurent could be ready to walk(…)

Seussical – Opening Night!

Seussical – Opening Night!

Yesterday began what will surely be a crazed and frenetic weekend to remember. It began with school, as all days inevitably must. Around 10:30 I had to leave to take Laurent to her final final — which wasn’t really a final, but more of a party day for the class. She said the time slated(…)

The Feast of the Ascension of Christ

The Feast of the Ascension of Christ

1 And at very early dawn on the first day of the week they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared: 2 and found the stone already rolled away from the door of the tomb. 3 They went into it, and could not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 They were still puzzling over(…)

Tech Week #2

Tech Week #2

Day two of Tech Week #2 — and I’m missing my Meggie! I dropped her off yesterday morning at the Jezeks,  and she’ll be off playing the gypsy and living with different MoezArt friends all week long since the high school production is on the opposite end of the valley.  (I’ve not yet heard an(…)

Ants’hillvania!

Ants’hillvania!

What a GREAT SHOW!!!  Jacob’s stretch of flu midweek was quickly forgotten by Friday when he and Megan began getting themselves ready mid-afternoon.  Megan applied his base makeup and blush at home, and he got into his all black costume.  I took some brother sister pics because they looked so cute — and Jacob with(…)

Downer

Downer

Well, Wednesday turned out to be a downer for The Boy.  I was absolutely confident that after his Tuesday night episode of mild food poisoning, he would bounce right back and be raring to go by Wednesday night for the final dress rehearsal of Ants’hillvania…. and while the day started slowly, by mid-day it was(…)

Tech Week #1

Tech Week #1

It is Wednesday, and that means we have reached the halfway point in what is the first of two back-to-back production weeks for our family.  Tonight is the final tech rehearsal for the Glendale MoezArt middle school cast’s show, Ants’hillvania – a Musical!  Jacob is performing, and Megan is the assistant stage manager, and they(…)
