This summer has been quite crazy and full of lots of transitions in our lives. As most of you know George accepted a new job in Gooding, ID at Gooding County Memorial Hospital as an IT Tech/Analyst, or something like that. So we picked up and moved from Boise with no place of our own to live yet and moved in with my parents while searching for a rental in Gooding. It proved to be more difficult than we thought and a lot more expensive. After 6 weeks and our first rental falling through we are now settled into a place as much as we're going to be. It is currently up for sale, so who knows how long we'll be here. We have kept busy with of course moving, George's new job, racing, a family reunion,visit to Washington, my cousin's wedding, running, substituting an aerobic class, house hunting, school and lots more. Here are some pics mostly of Addi throughout the summer.



Addi just before we moved from Boise at our apartment complex.

Addi loves listening to music with Dad.

Life at Grandpa and Grandma Luttmer's house. Addi with Grandpa in the tractor.

My Dad started stacking blocks with Addi and my brother wanted to see how tall it was.

Addi helping with laundry. She likes rides in the hamper.

Eating homemade chocolate banana pops. (family night treat)

Addi just being silly.

Addi got to spend a lot of time with her two cousins while we lived at my parents. Addi and Kaylee playing the piano.


Addi and Eryka playing the drums.

They spent lots of time in the pool too.


Addi just chillin' outside in her swimming suit.


Addi riding a new toy we got at a yard sale for grandma's house.



Addi playing baseball. She entertained herself for quite a while just chasing after the balls and trying to pick them all up at once.



Addi in the flower garden.

More rides in the swather. Addi was scared at first.


Addi's first black eye. She fell trying to climb up on a chair.

She's just too cool.

Finally in our own home. Addi loves playing on the computer and figuring out things we didn't know you could do.

Addi had fun riding in her cousins' power wheels.

The water was freezing



Fun at the river


Then we warmed up in the hot pool.

One of my favorite pics from the camping trip. Addi, Grandpa, and Kaylee.

Addi thought it would be fun to do Daddy's hair.

Our little princess.

Well I'm glad you guys found a place. I hope it doesn' sell too soon. Growing up we had to rent houses that were up for sale a lot. What a busy summer you've had!
OK well to answer your question, we're not really doing anthing differently than we used to (last you saw us). He does wake up sometimes if he has a bad dream or something. Mainly just trying to stick to a schedual has helped. He gets up around 7:30-8:00am. Then after lunch he takes a nap (around noon) and then usually sleeps til 2:30 or 3:00. I don't know if he's actually asleep that long, because I put him down awake and some days he lays in bed for a while before he falls asleep.
We get ready for bed, Bath (some nights) then read a book and say prayers, then put him in his crib (sometimes I sing) then we leave the room. This is at about 9:30pm.
The one thing that I think has made him sleep more since we moved in is that his room is pretty warm during the day. For some reason that room's air doesn't circulate as well. It has a ceiling fan in it and I think that helps too (background noise etc).
I bet Addie is just trying to adjust to all the changes the past few months. I'm sure she'll get adjusted soon and hopefully sleep better/longer.
It would be great to see you guys again soon!
