Mike spent 3 weeks in Seattle doing flight training for his FAA job. He flew with Eddy from the south Florida FSDO and Barb joined us the last week to vacation. We did some hiking the last weekend there and even went crazy and did some paragliding!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barb and Mike are a little tired after the 2.5 miles hike up the 2000 ft elevation Tiger mountain..

Wow, I am tired but still smiling!

Spring Update

Well hello to everyone. I just realized that not everyone is on facebook so I probably should send out an update on the Omaha Heenan's. I have limited pictures as I am away for training for the FAA in Oklahoma city. I brought Hagen with me this time and it seems to help. As you can see , he appears to be a bird dog although he is finding birds bigger than himself.








Busy spring with our niece Brittney. She had prom and just graduated last weekend in Plattsmouth, Ne. She will be attending the University of Nebraska this fall and is heading into the nursing field. We are very proud of her as she had a perfect 4.0 through high school and received numerous scholarships to help her through college. (on left with blue dress)







We also bought a home in Ankeny, Iowa and will begin moving soon. Our house is for sale in Omaha with very few lookers. Barb lived through tax season and is now preparing for the annual walk as well as a wedding trip to Lake Tahoe for another niece. So we have a busy summer set up with Mikes new job and moving..... (snow is gone now, finally)

Late Christmas for the Heenan's

Christmas was spent at home this year due to inclement weather............


Teddy did not rough it too much and stayed in the house where is was warm.........





Self portrait....................







We enjoyed a Christmas Day dinner as well at the other neighbors (The Markovichs)... It was very enjoyable with plenty of food as always...........

We stayed home this year as bad weather was predicted.... It was delivered a bit late but made it none-the-less........ Alot of high wind with cold temps turned it into a blizzard..... BUURRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Temperature is about 10 degrees with 25 MPH winds , so the windchill is between -10 and -20 degrees.......
