Christmas Day

Each year, Christmas gets more and more fun!
This year, it was just our family of 6.
I cherished it and am so grateful for such happy hearted kids!

Caleb was the first awake...but my kids don't wake up at unreasonable times...it was around 7:30.  I let him wake up the others about 8.

Our dinner was a steakhouse theme....wedge salad, steak, green beans, fried pickles, homemade rolls, and pie.  So delish!

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
