The Glynns have resurfaced!

Hey everyone...my apologies for being MIA all summer! As you know, we packed up our house shortly after the last post (mid-May) and did not receive our household goods until Monday. Yeppo...three months in transit! Despite not having our stuff...we've had lots of fun in the midst of all our moves!

Here are some pics from when we first arrived to LA. We spent a month in CA hanging out with family, celebrating the fourth of July in San Diego, and visiting Matt's new C-130 squadron. The tour of the plane was pretty cool...in one of the pics of the plane, you will see a little blurp at the top -- that is JP waving out of the top of the airplane. Needless to say, he had a blast! While in Moorpark, we also spent an afternoon at the Reagan Library. The boys loved seeing the Air Force One, the Helicopter and all the cool pictures! It's quite the sight!



The Murphster Walks!

This next video is of Murphy on his first day of walking. It's too cute... I have always been told..."Don't worry, when he finally gets going, he's just going to take off!" With Murphy, that couldn't have been more true! His first day walking he took nearly 20 steps and he hasn't stopped! You can tell he loves being able to keep up with JP like a big boy!



Big Bear and a trip to the ER

In late July, the boys and I went up to Big Bear with my parents for a relaxing weekend in Big Bear. JP loved his monkey balloon hat...Murphy wasn't too sure about his Elmo hat! After getting back to LA, we then had a fun trip to the ER. Like all good mommies, I dropped JP on his head (and I'm not kidding!) I tripped over a dog gate at my parents' house and dropped him straight on to his head. Of course, everything is fine, but I was a little worried as the bump quickly grew into an egg! A proud Mommy moment for sure!



Fun with the Cousins!

One of the best highlights from our summer was watching JP and Murphy hang out with their cousins -- Lillie (almost 6), Emilie (3), Brodie (2) and Maggie Mae (2 months -- she waited for Auntie Megan...I was finally able to be there for one of their births!). Yes, when they are all together, it is a small circus -- but they are hysterical and truly love being together! We can't wait to be back in March so that all of them can be together again! These pictures are at my Mom's house as she keeps them all busy making brownies!



Making Our Home in Arkansas!

The boys and I arrived here last week. Yes, it is unbearably hot and humid...but that aside, we have an AWESOME set up here! We have chosen to live on-base for the next 6 months. Our whole set-up is all about convenience. Our home is a great one-story house (money when you have a new walker in the family!) with a HUGE backyard that has a lake in it. Go figure! We have our kayak here....so it's fun to take JP out for a quick trip around the lake when Matt gets home. JP has already started at a nearby PreK program and loves it, the base is HUGE and everything is just out our door. We know that Arkansas doesn't have a big draw...however, please know that we have a guest room ready and waiting for anybody who happens to be passing through!



P.S. -- Don't you love the boys' fashion!!! This is what the Glynn family looks like when we are chilling at home. Throw fashion out the window and just have a good ol' time!

Where in the World???
