Update...

I have not blogged in a while and I don't have any new pictures...I know...the 3 people that read my blog want to see my children not read my not so interesting blog but you will just have to read it anyway. :)

This has been a busy month or two. Having a fresh walker in the house now has changed my day. And now that AM is walking too I am twice as busy. But I love it. JC has really gotten fast and AM makes me laugh...she walks like a little old lady that just got off a horse! So cute! They are playing well together if JC does not "bully" her. Poor AM just finds some other toy and keeps going. Her personality is so much like Jordyn's was at this age. Nothing seems to bother her and she just is so easy going. JC on the other hand takes after me! Not a good thing. She can throw a fit faster than any child I have seen and turn it off just as fast. I am paying for all the times I cried as a child. My parents had another child after me but I have never understood why! But I sure am glad they did or I would not have my brother, Todd!

Jordyn is well on her way to not taking naps anymore which is making me VERY SAD! That two hours a day makes a big difference for a stay-at-home mom! She is growing so fast and learning so much at school. Some things that she should forget though! Kids can teach other kids some GROSS things. I had to have the "you-might-need-to-play-with-another-kid" talk last night. I never want to tell her that she can't be friends with someone but when they are not talking sweetly I told her that she can blame me. "I will get in big trouble if I do/say that!" and go play with someone else.

She is asking a lot of questions about dying and heaven these days. It is amazing how their little mind works. What a privilege I have as a mother to tell my girls about Jesus. My prayer every night for her is that she comes to a saving knowledge of Jesus at an early age so that she does not have to live her life without knowing God's love. I can't wait for that day that she accepts Jesus as her Savior! What a celebration it will be in the Williams' house!

The winter is going to be a trying time here. I forgot how hard it is when you can't say, "Go out side and run for a while!" Too cold and rainy these last few days. And soon I will have 3 cabin fever children that can't run and play locked up in this house. I had to bring all the toys in from the sun room. Now we officially look like we are running a day care complete with large metal gate! But, I would not have it any other way! I love this job...all of it. Some days I want to run out side screaming but it only last for a short while. Then I look around at the 2 girls that I get the honor of raising and the one that I am entrusted with to keep during the day and I know that it is worth all the dirty bottoms, runny noses, crying and saying no.

Well, I hear one waking up now...better go change diaper/feed/wipe nose and kiss all over!

I like reading and pictures too. Sounds like you have been busy busy. I was thinking the other day that I have only seen JC in person 1 time that I can remember. I kept thinking surely I have seen her more than that, but I guess I have just watched her grow up via pictures and videos on your blog.

Although, I do not have to find something for kids to do during the winter months, it is a little depressing around my house as well. We like the 60 -70 degree weather so we can keep our windows and doors open and sit on out patio. With it being cold and rainy, that changes things. Personally, I like being in our very cold apartment under a lot of blankets with a cup of hot cocoa, but Spenser and Jess do not.

Sorry, I think I have written a book on your post.
