These Days...

My kids are so awesome. They each do things that I always want to remember.
I know I won't remember everything now, but I am hopeful to get better about writing stuff down.


Chloe leaves out the word "has" in sentences. She says things like, "She been gone all day."

Levi can't say "s", so every word is missing an s. Kids go to "hool", and he takes a "hower". When I can't understand him, I add an S.

Caleb has the most amazing wit. His jokes are perfectly timed. He talks often about me killing his fish, which is hilarious.

Luke thinks he's big time because he has learned two cuss words. When he is really mad at me, he says, "I am cussing at you in my head."
On time he said one part of a cuss word he knew, which is "Oh my".
It's not funny that he likes to cuss, but it's so not who we are as a family...so it's just so randomly funny.


Every child has a night time routine:
Levi: he asks me to tell him a story about Chuck E Cheese and asks if Chuck E was there. Then I pray and sing "I love you Lord"

Luke: I tell him a story from when I was a kid. I scratch his back (not rub) and sing "I love, I love". Then pray.

Chloe: She loves to play with my hair so I will stay longer. We talk. I sing "Sanctuary" and pray. She has me pray for Mia (her adoptive sister to be), getting a puppy, and whatever her urgent needs are.

Caleb: He likes to talk about life and deep things. I pray while rubbing his back (no scratching) and sing "Open Up The Skies Of Heaven". Then pray.


Every morning, Levi wakes up and demands Paw Patrol, apple juice, and a bagel.
Luke asks for "toast, two of each" (butter and jelly)
Chloe asks for three bagels and apple juice.
Caleb eats waffles or toast.

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. ...
