Things I Love

Brett and I were talking tonight how much we enjoy our children. Even on long days, they bring us so much joy and fun!!

There's so many things I love about them; here are a few:

- Luke gets in Caleb's bed every night and falls asleep with him

- Chloe hugs, kisses, and loves on our baby-to-be. In the morning (every morning), she asks, "Is your baby crying because I haven't kissed him today?"

- Chloe calls our child Max even though we aren't naming him Max :)

- Caleb is a brave, tough boy....yet he will still sit on my lap and wants to snuggle every night

- Luke is so very 2, and he's so very entertaining....he punches, hits, and bites all day (just his siblings and parents, so fortunately people don't hate me). The benefit of having 3 children is I know he will outgrow it! So I find it pretty hilarious!!

- As very boy that he is, Lukey still snuggles me a lot

- When Caleb prays, instead of saying "thank you, God", he says "Welcome, God, for..."

- A few nights ago, Chloe was bawling her eyes out (in bed). I asked her what was wrong. She asked, "Why does baby Levi sleep with you every night instead of me?"

- Luke is obsessed with shoes. He will put on anyone and everyone's shoes. Probably 8 times out of 10 he gets them on the correct feet

- Chloe asks me if I will miss her when she moves out to become a gymnastics girl

- Caleb can put together Legos sets so well, without any help. His ability to do that amazes me! What's interesting is that a year or two ago, he couldn't do a single step but now he can do the whole thing!

- Caleb stalls bedtime every night. He's only supposed to come out of his room for an emergency, so he will come out to ask if something qualifies as an emergency. Tonight he asked, "what are we doing, not tomorrow or the next day or the next day but the next day?"

- Caleb and Chloe will not use the word "she", so everything is "her wants to play. Her is outside."
Then today, Chloe said, "I want she to come over." The one and only time she's ever used "she" and it's wrong :)

- Chloe tells me everyday that I look beautiful, even when I'm gross. I love her for that :)

There's so many things my kids do and say that make me laugh!! Life with them is never dull, and I love our life!!

    My favorite one is Chloe being upset that the baby gets to "sleep" with you every night. She is awesome.

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. ...
