This is our summer so far....



From hiking the hills of Boise, going on a picnic in the mountains, and spending time with family in Nevada over the 4th, this has been a terrific summer so far. We look forward to our many other plans that lie ahead.

What are we up to?

We need to download some more pictures, but I thought I would put an update on here until then.

Braden gets up one time at night and just over the holiday weekend he started reaching for things. It is fun to watch him grab and make that connection. He is a very happy baby and wakes up smiling. Rich can getting him laughing and it is hysterical. He has nicely rubbed most of the hair off the sides and back of his head and still has lots of hair on top that stands straight up. He is closer to a true mohawk.

Connor is very independent and doesn't think he needs help doing anything. He recently came to me excited that he had gotten in the fridge and pored a glass of milk by himself. Yikes, he didn't even spill. I was lucky the milk was only 1/4 full. He is still madly addicted to trains. He has been more cooperative in getting dressed and having his diaper changed. Yes he is still in diapers. He will tell when he is peeing though. RRRRR! He is still very lovey and kisses and hugs all the time. That is nice.

Rich is active duty at Gowen Field here in Boise until September and will then go back to Costco. He will also start back at NNU the end of this month for Business Admin. He will be done December of '09.

I am working 3 days a week at Journeys Hospice and will start again this month on my clinical hours for my clinical social work license for counseling (LCSW). I have to do a total of 3000 hours of counseling under a supervisor. I have about a year left I figure. I hope to do counseling for the adult population focusing on, Alzheimer's, caregiving, bereavement, and some mental health.

That kind of sounded like a Christmas letter. I have never been a big fan of those, but oh well. At least you know what we are up to, in case you were wondering.
