Just wishin', and hoping, and thinking, and praying...

I couldn't sleep at all last night. Bet you can't guess what was keeping me up? I just kept praying for our baby all the way on the other side of the world. It is such a strange feeling to know they are there and we just haven't met yet. I sure hope we hear something soon.

Amazing Family...Incredible Gift!

I have to share with you the story of an incredible gift given to us by our brother-in-law Kerry and many others. While we were at the lake a couple months ago Kerry and Melissa (Dusty's sister) called us up to their room to give us something. It was an envelope that contained a rather large amount of money. We were of course shocked and wondered what was going on? That is when they told us it was a donation to help us bring our baby home. Tears began to flow (I am crying again while writing this) as Kerry explained that he has been cutting hair (yes, he's awesome)on Fridays at his work for donations for our adoption. He had been doing this for a few months and even has a few regulars! We were, and still are, just in shock at this gift of time, talent, love, and sacrifice. What an example of God's love and provision this has shown us. People who have never met us are helping bring a child into our family from across the world. There are no words to thank you enough - may your gifts and blessings be returned 10 fold!

To the Middleton family - Kerry, Melissa, Max, Mason, Kinley, and soon to be sweet baby Kolt, We love you guys dearly and cannot thank you enough for this precious gift. All who meet you know that you are a family of "doers". You actually hit the pavement when needed (be it stranger or family) and truly look out for others. What a gift for our children to know how much they are desired and loved by their entire family.
Ephesians 1:16
"I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers."

To Newell-Rubbermaid, Thank you so much for your part in helping us bring a child into our family through the miracle of adoption. By allowing Kerry just a few hours on Friday you are giving us an incredible gift!

To those of you who trust Kerry to cut your hair - we thank you!! Ha! Kerry has told us about you and we are humbled by your generosity. Specifically, Jackson, Joe, and Audrey Ford, Logan Clark, Chad Zimmerly, and Ken Taylor. We cannot wait to say thank you in person and bring our new little one up to meet you all!

Sincerely,
Dusty, Kathryn, Cole, and "baby" Nimmo

Matthew 10:42
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.

So Busy...So FUN!

September has been an incredible month! We went to Colorado for my sister's wedding, went camping, and took Cole to an OU football game. This calls for a slide show! : )

Checking In...

Just thought I would let you know that we are still here! We were in Colorado over the weekend for my little sister's wedding and it was an amazing weekend!! The setting was beautiful (Estes Park), the wedding was so much fun, and she of course looked absolutely gorgeous! We had a great time with the fam and already want to go back. I love Colorado. I will post some pictures when I get a chance.

Nothing new on the baby front - just waiting. I think the lack of control makes me a little crazy in other areas of my life (i.e. changing my blog 50 times). I still need to finish up Cole's room, get rid of some old clothes to make closet space, and to be honest just do a major house clean!

What Does A Perfect Saturday Look Like?...

This is what I LOVE about the fall...

Can you see how productive we are today? This is literally what has been going on over here for about the last 3 hours! Somehow I was actually napping next to Cole (yes, to his right) on about 10 inches of our QUEEN size bed with about 1/2 an inch of pillow! (If you are confused, Dusty has the ottoman pulled up to the couch sleeping - we really don't have a ginormous couch - ha). Hope you guys are having a day like this too!

Little Boy...Big Bed!

My baby has moved to his big boy room! He is doing great. Sleeping (and actually staying) in his big bed. He looks so tiny! His legs barely make it off the pillow. I have to admit I teared up when leaving the room. I almost got the door closed when I heard him so quietly say "mama?" I said "yes, baby?"... "SEE YA' LATER!". Then I knew I could go to bed because he was going to be ok. What a funny kid. Here are a couple pictures of his new room - we are not finished yet. My dad is painting some art for his walls that I will show you later and I need to get some curtains.

Still no news on the adoption front for our baby. We are just trying to be patient and know that God's timing is perfect, but that sure doesn't mean we aren't letting him know the desires of our heart! Ha. Things have been really slow lately so we are also praying for our waiting friends - looking forward to hearing good news and celebrating with you!!
