Our little yellow jersey winner

Summer is closing too fast



Okay, so we want to be sure and keep this blog as up to date as possible. So I thought I would jump on and give you all an update as well. I know Heather wishes that she could post something or at least a picture everyday.

Please remember that when you click on the albums to the left you then have access to all our web albums which are being updated even more regularly than the blog text.

So Trek is an amazing little boy who is so well behaved and so fun. He is sitting up on his own and grabbing anything within his reach, and he has just started getting his first teeth. So mom and dad have to be careful how many fingers they let in his mouth since he chomps down on all things that get close.

I have finished off my racing season this last saturday with a 3rd place finish in the MN State Road Race. 51 miles and I held on for a good finish. Had to stop up a bit in my sprint for the line due to some other riders and so possibly could have done better, but still a good end to the year. So much better than the race the few weeks before where I had my first crash in a long time. You can see the lovely war wounds of that race in the bike racing album. Trek and Heather were at the race as well and it is great to have them there for handing up water bottles and the cheering support. As you can see above Trek was supporting in his own yellow jersey, and then thought dad's medal or I should say the ribbon was fun to chew on as he shows it off for the camera.

Well just a quick post and I hope to soon find some time to again compile all the best moments of our little boy laughing and making noise on a video that we will post to the blog as well. Take care all and feel free to comment to our postings and contact us anytime. We love to talk to people now through video chatting on the computer and would love for you to join as well. Ask if you have questions.

Till next post!!!!

The Schinke Update....



We are having a wonderful summer and are so blessed with an amazing boy!
As a family we've been going for walks and bike rides, bbq-ing with friends, hosting family visitors, lovin' on Trek, and of course watching the Tour de France!
Ben has been racing a lot and having a successful cycling season. He won his first race and some sprints, has been working hard at Lominger, and is an incredible father and husband!
Heather went back to work part-time in May at TranCentral, stays home with Trek on Wednesdays and Fridays (she LOVES those days!) and just continues to be in awe of little Trek!
Trek has been a busy boy...no teeth yet BUT he's found his toes, can sit by himself, loves jumping in his johnny jump up, reaches for everything and if he gets it--yep, it's in his mouth immediately! He also has a smile that melts our hearts!
Thanks to everyone who has been able to come meet Trek and hang out...we really appreciate it!

To see more photos of what we've been up to, click on the photo albums to the left!
Also, once you click on an album, you can see all of our pictures from that site...enjoy!

Blessings to you all! Ben, Heather & Trek (a lick from Maiah!)
