Well, Hello, Blog

I am so behind on my blog right now! Two reasons for that: my laptop is on the fritz, so I have to use my desktop computer (which is slow and out of my eyesight, so I don't think about it much). Also, we just traveled to Tallahassee for a wedding, then I am leaving town again on Wednesday. I am taking my three children to my parents' house....without Brett....yes, apparently, I am crazy.

I missed my scheduled Family First Friday last week and will miss it again this week :(. I have some good topics on the horizon. Between running errands and packing, I may be able to write one tomorrow. I am a bit neurotic before I leave town, though, so don't hold your breath. Not that you would.

It has been an awesome past couple of weeks. Very busy but so fun.

While in Tallahassee, Caleb and Chloe went to Disney World with their grandparents. I will blog more on that later, but I would be willing to bet it was the best day of their lives!! They LOVED it.

I am falling in love with South Florida. God has brought me wonderful friends, and reconnecting with old friends has been awesome. I miss Fall in Kansas, but I am enjoying the warm temperatures!

There is so much I feel like I need to update, so hopefully I will do that soon!
But for now, I wanted the world to know I am alive and well.

Real quick....
As we were packing for the wedding, Chloe asked me why I was not wearing my wedding dress to the celebration. She could not understand why that is totally inappropriate. Very cute. Chloe wants to marry her Uncle Blake. She talks about getting married just about everyday. She says, "Caleb, let's marry" when she wants to pretend to have a wedding.

When we told Caleb we were going to a wedding, he excitedly said, "Awesome! You are going to come home with a baby!!" Not sure where he came up with that, but we do tell him that he did not get put in my belly until after we got married....so maybe that's how?!!

Life is busy, but life is good. I will update more soon. YAY!

    I am so glad you'll be updating soon! I have missed your amazing writing and thoughts! Glad to hear that South Florida is making it's way into your heart... :-) It totally did for me, just took some time. And I can't wait to hear about the kiddos' time in the most magical place ever! Sounds like a dream! Love to you!

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
