Trip to OKC

We are back home, again, with NO more trips in the near future! Yea! It's good to be home and return to a more normal schedule. Tom, Clara and I just got back from a trip to Oklahoma City which we coupled with another job interview in Fort Smith, Arkansas. We had a great time with Tom's family in OKC. We stayed at his parents house and both of his sisters and their families came over to visit. Clara and her cousin Paityn were born one month apart so it is so fun to see them growing together. They still engage in more parallel play rather than interactive play, but we caught a few pictures of them together




Clara LOVED playing in Paityn's walker.

Grandpa Trent and Clara played the guitar together.

We visited Tom's Grandma also. Clara had so much fun riding around on her walker.

Clara's looking older isn't she? Her hair is growing longer and getting thicker.

The interviews in Fort Smith went well and we were treated so kindly by the hospital staff. We had a very nice dinner over at the ER director's house and we (Clara included) got to take a four-wheeler ride through the forest, over some streams, and to a fast rolling river. It was a little nerve wracking with Clara not buckled and bouncing around on her Dad's lap, however, she seemed to enjoy the ride. I wish I had some pictures, but I didn't think about bringing the camera that night.
We are home again and life is getting back to normal. I will be blogging more often so check back with me soon!
