Four Kids

My awesome older kids come home tomorrow, which cannot come fast enough! I miss them so much! It has been great for me to have time to chill and heal, but I miss my babies!!

Starting Monday, Brett has a football camp all day, every day for the week....so I will be by myself with all four kids, talk about getting thrown in the fire quickly!!....oh yeah, and I'm not supposed to drive!
Side note: I do realize this is most people's normal life. But since we've been married, Brett's never worked a "normal" job. Between unique hours of football and odd hours of ministry, his days are full....but can be flexible....not always but I can usually plan around him.

While he's gone next week and I'm not supposed to drive (we will see how well I obey that), I also have to go to the OB, get Levi circumcised, and have Levi's first check up. Yeah, definitely baptism by fire into four kids :)

Although it may be long, I haven't seen my kids much in the last 8 days, so I will be extra ready to love them. And I'm feeling so much better than I have the last few months that I actually am excited to play with them! I still have some pain but I'm nowhere near as uncomfortable!

During our days at home, I have some Pinterest projects ready to do, and I'm sure they'll swim a lot! We will make sidewalk paint (and use it), bake a new cookie recipe, and dig for treasures in an ice block.

I should also note Levi is the easiest baby, so far!! During the night, he wakes up around 2 and 5 am, nurses each time, and goes right back to sleep in his crib!

I am so excited to see my kids!! I think it'll be a fun and special week!

Wish me luck..... :)

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. ...
