Hi.

Hi, it's me. The girl who used to blog here.

My days have been full.
My heart is even fuller.
God is blowing me away with His goodness.
I've made a few new friends lately, and that makes my heart very happy.
I have consciously been cutting back on social media.....because no one is more important than my children (except my husband who I talk to face to face).
Lately, I have been really aware of how fast the days are passing. My kids are amazing little creatures. They're learning. They're absorbing this world. But, wow, the days are going too fast. They're going to be in college soon, you know. :)
Part of me wants my kids to stay little forever (that's about 95% of me)....the other part of me is really excited to see the amazing people they're going to become. But that entails growing up and moving out :(.
Homeschooling is going great. I am struggling to not make it like traditional school, and I am having a hard time balancing our social life with school...but I am loving teaching my boy!
Does everyone think they're kids are the cutest, most hilarious, most fun kids on the planet? Or are mine actually that?
I cannot wait to have my last baby. I am not pregnant yet, but I want to be (so you can be praying for that). We haven't actually tried (TMI), but we will get on that asap :).
I think I will have a girl. I want to name her Phoebe. (Brett likes Haley).
If we have a boy, I'm not sure of a name.
Life is good. Life is better than good.

That is my life in a nutshell.

Til next time....(when I post about Chloe's party, more on homeschooling, and why life is more than good)

    Ha! You are funny! Love the name Phoebe! And I'm glad you already decided you would have a girl. My friend recently did a post on her blog about "18 summers" and how we really have only 18 summers with our kids before they graduate and go off on their own, and that we should take advantage of those times with them...wish I would have had this thought "15 years ago"!

Women Are Powerful

In the past few Family First Friday posts, I have encouraged you to respect your husband, speak to him kindly, and be considerate (among other things). One might mistake these qualities as a woman who is a doormat, without an opinion, who never shares her thoughts. A godly woman is anything but those. God created women to be powerful . Amazingly powerful. Though God designed an order to families, women are not less than or inferior. We are different than men, but we are just as valuable. Unfortunately, many women misuse the power the Lord has given them through manipulation and control. Those are grave errors and will destroy a marriage (and a person). As I refer to power, I am definitely not speaking of those things. The power I speak of is the unique call of God for women to fulfill the destiny He has planned for each of us. This power is honoring of men (and other women) and does not fear losing control. I often tell my kids: "God created you to do something on this e

And Baby Makes 6

Baby Williams #4 is on the way!! We are beyond thrilled. I am due June 22, so I am about 4 and 1/2 weeks along. Each time I have been pregnant, I can almost tell immediately....I get insanely tired and very emotional (some might call it irritable). Because of that, I have never actually surprised Brett with a pregnancy. For a week leading up to taking a test, I say about 431 times a day, "I think I am pregnant"....so by the time I take the test, it is no surprise. I plan for this to be my last pregnancy. The only reason I don't say that without absolute certainty is because anytime I try to make "my" plans, God surprises me....but our plan is to stop with 4. I feel like this will be my last pregnancy, and for the first time ever, I am really excited about that! Because it's my last, I wanted to actually surprise Brett this time. Even though I felt tired and emotional, I did not mention thinking I was pregnant. As soon as I could, I took a test, an
