Get ready...Get set...Go!
(Insert lame excuse for not blogging more regularly here)
Things are going well for us here in paradise. Katie is not quite 18 weeks along now. She is convinced that this one is a girl and I learned long ago that you do not argue with a pregnant woman. We have our ultrasound on the 27th so hopefully we will have a confirmation then.
We are currently preparing for a month of visitors. Katie’s parents, grandmother, and brother are coming for 10 days at the end of the month. Then Katie’s maid of honor is coming for a week. We get a one week break and then my dad and step mom are coming for a week long stay. We are really excited to have all the company.
We have tickets to go see The Lion King (the Broadway show is coming here) for Katie’s birthday on 28 September. In the weeks after that we will be preparing to send Katie and Liam home early. She will not be able to fly when she gets too far along, plus with the two of them back on the mainland, I can get things in order here for our move back to Texas and the next phase of our life.
I have a feeling this is the calm before the storm.

And In Other News...
We have had an eventful week so far. Paul and Colt Murphy made a stop here on Oahu as they started their trek from American Samoa to all points Mainland. They arrived on Monday morning and spent their days seeing the sights and stayed with us for two nights.
Liam and Colt hit it off right away. Liam was thrilled to have someone near to his own age and size and even though Colt is seven his skills as a great big brother are evident. He was amazingly tolerant of Liam climbing all over him and eating food off of his plate. They played and laughed together with the ease that only kids can muster. At one point Colt asked Katie if he could start calling Liam “Leon.” Not really sure why, but the desire for a name change was short lived. When it came time for Paul and Colt to leave early Wednesday morning, Colt was very concerned that Liam was still asleep and that they would not get the chance to say goodbye. Katie woke Liam up and the two fast friends said a proper farewell.
Paul and I even managed to squeeze in a little time to throw the Frisbee around. Paul’s skills with the disk are far superior to mine, but he did not seem to mind chasing down my many errant throws.
Needless to say, we were thrilled to have visitors and were sad to see them go.
Something else happened this week…hmm…let me see if I can remember…oh yeah…
Katie, Liam and I are currently preparing ourselves to welcome another member to our family. That’s right! Katie is 12 weeks pregnant! The due date is 20 December. We already have our anniversary on the 21st, Liam’s birthday on the 22nd, not to mention Christmas, so our December will get that much more fun. We feel truly blessed to have another baby on the way. Our big problem right now is that we have no solid names for a girl…we have several great boy names, but this baby could end up being named Baby Girl Reed. We are open to suggestions, so if you have one…send it our way.
