I hate playing the waiting game. Now that the basketball season is over for us, I have a lot of time on my hands. We are in the middle of recruiting, trying to get players to replace our departing players. That's waiting game #1. We have to wait for the players we want, to see if they want to come to ACU. Waiting game #2 is even worse. Alyson is about 22 days from her due date. We have all of the nursery stuff done and now we can just wait for Brooks to decide he is ready to come into the world. I am hoping, however, that he does at least wait another 2 weeks or so, just in case we have forgotten to do something for his arrival.
Lamaze classes are going fine, and that sort of helps speed things up for us, but for me I am just excited to meet him for the first time. If he does wait another 2 weeks or so, that will allow me to go to Oklahoma and do some recruiting this weekend. I will probably call Alyson every 5 minutes while I am gone just to make sure she is feeling fine. Anyway, we are just waiting for Brooks arrival.
We ask for your continued prayers as we approach the birth and additional test for Alyson after delivery. We are still optimistic that she will be able to skip chemotherapy all together. We also appreciate your prayers, they are so encouraging to us.
I love my wife, my two sons, my family, and my life. I get paid to watch kids play a game that I love. I love being a college basketball coach.

"The waiting game" Brian I seen a sign on a delivery truck yesterday it said... Of course I want it today! If I wanted it tomorrow I would have ordered it tomorrow. I can relate "the waiting game" it's a tuff one. Hang in there Brother.
Love Tim.
All I can say is enjoy this waiting. Soon, very soon, you'll remember this time and think, "why did I waste all that peace and quiet?" Trust me, I know. So, soak up all you can to draw on later! And look forward to intense joy! Alyson is continually in my prayers. So are you!
I just looked up the definition of wait... to be ready, to make a formal call, to supply the wants, to remain inative in readiness or an expectation... all the above.. Brian, Brian, Brian, I want to be there sooooo bad when Brooks is born, but I know it is not gonna happen that way, I would just love to see the look on your face when he is born... He will be the first grand child that I have missed being born...But I will be there shortly after (I hope)... you, Aly and Brooks are always in my prayers.....love momxoxoxo
sleep, sleep, sleep every chance you get!!!!
Recruiting will always be there...enjoy this time.
Grandmas Sue from Grandma Becky....If I get there in time you will be able to see the look on Brian's face as I will most definitely capture it on camera. That is my job I hear in the delivery room so hopefully I will get great pictures!! Brooks just needs to wait for the photographer to arrive!!! Love, Grandma Chez
