It has been a few weeks since I posted and a lot of things have happened since the last entry. Last weekend we went home to Indiana to visit family and move Derek's mom to her new house. We were really busy prepping, cleaning, packing and moving at Derek's Mom's house, so Addy spent a lot of time at her Grandma and Grandpa Schum's house (neither party seemed to mind too much). Addy's grandparents took her to see the Clydesdales that were visiting for the Strassenfest and took her to see her Great Grandma. While at home, Adalyn and I were also able to go to my aunt Joyce and uncle Elmer's 40th wedding anniversary. I was so glad that were were able to join in the festivities and see many relatives from my mom's side of the family. After an extended weekend and help from family we managed to get Addy's Grandma Freihaut moved into her new home. Although it was sad to see her leave a house with many many years of memories, we are very excited that she has a found a new house to make new memories in that is closer to her family and church.

During the week, Addy spent three days at her babysitter, Patty's house while I worked in my classroom. It was a perfect situation because Addy got reacquainted at Patty's and I spent some valuable time in my classroom. Adalyn loved all of the attention she received from the Nuding family. Winnie and Sophie loved swimming and playing with her and even managed to fix her hair and paint her toenails. Addy loves her green toenails and shows them off wherever we go.
On Friday, Adalyn and I drove to Indianapolis to meet Derek, who was already there on business. He got out of his meeting in the early afternoon, so we were able to spend some time at the zoo. We loved the zoo. Adalyn especially enjoyed the splash park and seeing the animals. It was a very cool day, so the animals were very active. A tiger came within 5 feet of us and Addy got to pet a shark. Friday evening Derek's mom joined us and we spent the night in Indy. Saturday was a very bust day for us. In the morning we went to the Children's Museum where Addy loved playing in the toddlers only room and looking at all the trains in the train display. We also visited our friends Brad and Molly and headed to Terre Haute to visit Derek's brother Cory and his family. Needless to say we got a lot accomplished over the weekend!

Adalyn continues to talk up a storm and seems to learn new words everyday. While in Indiana she learned to say Brian, which made her Uncle Brian very happy. She has recently taken a great interest in putting together puzzles and giving people hugs. She can name several different animals and say the sounds they make. Addy loves to watch Yo Gabba Gabba and tries to mimic all of the crazy dances moves the characters do on the show. She continues to amaze us everyday and we are very proud of our special little girl.
Sadly, this week marks the final week of summer vacation for us. I am very lucky to have this time with Addy each summer and I have loved every minute of it. It will be very difficult to get back in the swing of things next week as a new crop of second graders busts through the doors. Hopefully this week I can work in my classroom for just a few days and then spend my last few days of summer playing and spending time with my little girl.
