Missing Daddy!

Again, it has been awhile since I've posted. Last weekend Tim left on Saturday for a 14-day leave fighting wild fires out west. It's with mixed emotion that we said goodbye... it is something that is so fascinating to him and gets him outside where he truly shines and it was hard for him to leave his family too. Glad to report that he is doing good... 16 hour work days, camping in a tent, fighting fires first in Utah and now Idaho, and the boy is still happy and going strong.

Last weekend we also spent the day on Saturday in Arkadelphia where my high school friend Abby brought her precious kiddos to Arkansas for their first visit. We were so excited to meet Cati and Gus (adopted from Guatemala this spring) and to see many of my other high school friends like Crystal and Jenny and her beautiful twins.

Last week Tim's parents came to town and stayed 3 days helping out with the boys which included daily trips to Arkadelphia for a second round of swimming lessons! The boys had a great time and enjoyed their creek time with Grandpa and story time with Grandma.

This past weekend we spent time in Dallas with my mom, dad, sister and her husband and precious little guy Matthew! We had fun shopping and watching the boys play. Nate and Zac adore cousin Matthew! It was fun to spend time with Jenny who is expecting a girl in October!

Well there is a lot of work to do while the boys are sleeping! One day I'll post photos again but Tim has my camera right now! Hugs, KMO

Girl's Weekend

This last weekend I spent 2 nights and days in Little Rock with 4 of my college girlfriends: Wendy, Shaunna, Stephanie & Heather. We had so much fun. It was a fabulous 2 days filled with eating out at wonderful restaurants and eateries, shopping and A LOT of talking and one movie! We met 3 other college friends for dinner one night. We had a four hour dinner with Ashley, Carrey and Jennifer! It was great spending time with these girls it had been way too long since we'd all been together!

Meanwhile, the men had a great time at home with the kiddos! Nate, Zac & Tim spent the weekend outside "working" and playing in the creek! They also managed to squeeze in a canoe ride on the Caddo. These boys sure love their "daddy days"! All is well in Glenwood with not to much to report!

Oh yeah, my cousin Brooks Harrington and his wife Sarah Beth had their first little one yesterday; a precious little boy named Cole Alexander! We can't wait to meet him.

Hugs, KMO

Quick Update!

Tim is home from Antigua! Thank goodness. We missed him TONS!

Today I had an ultrasound and everything looks great! Just as it should. The baby probably weighs around 3 lbs. (Heaven only knows I've gained waaaaaaaaaaaaay more than 3 lbs.) and is positioned properly at this point. 10 more weeks to go. Well there is one person on this earth who knows for sure what we are having... my doctor... Dr. John! However, I choose not to indulge myself with the information! So you too will have to wait! Hugs to all, KMO

Can't seem to keep up!

To my friends Jenny and Abby... you guys are incredible and wonderful for always updating your blogs weekly (Jenny with twins, Ab with 2 newly adopted kiddos)! I however, am not so diligent (no excuse seems worth listing)!
During the last two weeks of June, the boys took swimming lessons in Arkadelphia at the Aquatic Park. They absolutely LOVED it! Zac is fearless when it comes to the water. He will jump, dive, and sink! He loves going underwater and if he could ever figure out how to get his legs kicking and his arms moving, he would actually be swimming! Nate can now swim underwater for as long as he can hold his breath! I think he thinks he's ready for the Olympics but he still has some work to do!

Tim's family came to our house for the weekend prior to the 4th and we had a WONDERFUL time. Tim being the excellent river guide and outdoor entertainer provided everyone with a lot of fun and memories. It was fun to see everyone because the times we are able to ALL be together are few and far between.

Tim has been at a wedding in Antigua for the past 6 days! I wasn't able to go because of being pregnant. Needless to say I have been slightly depressed! Let me tell you ... this was some wedding with 20 wedding/event planners flown in from New York! Tim had a great week and the boys and I had a lot of fun here and in Texarkana and Arkadelphia! BUT we really missed our daddy and can't wait to have him home again! Here is a photo of me from about two weeks ago! Look at that tummy! 10 more weeks to go from yesterday!

Off today to Little Rock after Sunday School to celebrate my papa's 91st birthday!

More later! KMO
