Burdorf Update

Hey....its the Burdorf's. We are alive.....we are moved now and finally found our camera. I know it's not a great excuse why we haven't been blogging, but it will just have to work.
What's new with us? Adam is on outpatient clinic this month and we are all enjoying this rotation. He is up with us in the morning and actually beats Addy and I home sometimes (thank goodness he cooks:) I am getting used to seeing him more again, which won't be great come October. He will be in the Emergency Room and will be gone all the time!
As for me, I have been busy with work. My boot camps are filling up and seeing results. I love being in this enviroment; I enjoy going to work everyday and when I leave I look forward to going back. We are getting ready to run a "Fitness Laboratory" in which we invite volunteers in for a workout with a trainer for 3 weeks and see how they enjoy the club and an exercise routine. But more importantly, we measure some vitals (heart rates, blood pressures, body fats, etc.) and show them the impact of exercise on their health. We are expecting to get 60 volunteers, which means more time in the club for me! It will be different than my working 3 days a week, and now I will be there all the time. I keep telling myself it is short term and I can do anything for 3 weeks?!
Addy is great. She loves having more room than our dinky 2 bedroom apartment. She has been blessed with seeing family for the past 8 weeks straight. I keep thinking that if we ever are by ourselves for the weekend, she will be bored. She is doing very well with her big girl bed....she doesn't get out at all. In the morning, she talks in bed until we go get her. She has been eating like a horse lately. She must be growing....on the way to daycare today she ate 2 sausage links! I thought she had dumped them on the floor, but no evidence of that. She is slowly but surely getting better going to daycare.
Here is our update....we will do better now that we found the camera, I promise!

Elmo Exhibit at Children's Museum

From now on, anyone who decides to come see us in Omaha has to go to the children's museum. It was amazing; especially since Elmo was there to teach kids about the human body. Addy was in Sesame Street heaven! Gma and Gpa had a great time too. Here are some pics of the top floor Sesame Street exhibit....

Zoo trip with Burdorf's and Ulrich's

This past weekend, we met my parents, Adam's parents and Jamie and Aaron's family for a wonderful weekend in Omaha. We had such a great time seeing everyone. It makes us even more excited to get into a house soon so we have more room. These are pictures from the zoo which we did on Saturday. Since we have posted pics of the exhibits before, I thought I would post other pics taken at the zoo. It was as busy as it has been; they must do great business! Yet, we always have a great time regardless of the craziness!

Potty Update

Addy has been doing great on the potty. Each time we change her diaper, we sit on the potty and we tinkle a bit:) The good news is is that she loves making progress. She has to give you a hug, while still on the potty, and then she can move on and flush her potty. We are getting closer to the doo too. Each time she doos, she tells me now and if we are too late, she will come lay down in front of me wanting me to change her. What a big girl! The Elmo potty time helps (thanks von banks) and the bear in the big blue house helps too (thanks houghs).

Please...oh please pass physical!

WELCOME TO MINNESOTA FARVE! LOOK OUT NFC!

Pooped in Potty!!!!!

I caught Addy in the act of pooing this morning, and we quickly moved to the potty! She actually dooed in the potty today!!!!!!! Oh my goodness....I, of course, cried through the whole thing! She probably thought, "I thought this is a good thing mommy?" Just thought I would give a potty update! What a big girl! She is running around diaperless right now with a dum dum sucker! YEAH!

Von Bank's Turn....

Jack and Jen and their girlies made a trip to Omaha this past weekend and had a short summer vacation before school starts in the fall. Let me just say that Addy had a great time with the girls would be an understatement! She often walked from exhibit to exhibit at the zoo hand in hand with the girls; and Jack and Jen. It is crazy when there is family down, she always wants everyone else but mommy and daddy to hold hands and carry her. She must be bored with us? Anyway, Friday we hit Applebee's for lunch before coming back to our pool to swim before supper. Saturday, we braved the heat and hit the zoo until it got so busy we couldn't even enjoy ourselves anymore. After the zoo, we headed to Village Pointe to meet Josie at Scooter's for a quick coffee break before going back to their hotel for a swim. We stayed in Saturday night with some pizzas and watched Marley & Me.....or tried. Addy wasn't exactly quiet during the movie. We got up and met for pancakes and hit Target for school supplies before they hit the road. We had a wonderful weekend......thanks guys for making our weekend exciting! Enjoy our pics...
