We are all God's Children

Dad prepared a fun little FHE lesson on how we are all God's children and we should treat everyone with respect and love. For our activity we did little people chains and we were to color all the people different. It was fun to see how they all turned out!

Family Resemblance

Well...I always thought the girls were total replicas of their dad's family. Turns out there is a bit of a Williamson family resemblance. (In mannerisms too...man I was a messy kid!) Can you tell who is who? (sorry for the blurriness on a couple).Aren't they so cute
And here's the man...wasn't he a chunk! Sorry honey-we couldn't very well post about me and not show yours for a fair comparison :).

A Little Snapshot

I was taking pictures of a couple things and caught this darling shot of my oldest munchkin. Isn't she adorable. Vivacious, quick as a whip, and an awesome helper. Look at those eyes...and the smattering of freckles on her darling cheeks and nose are one of my favorite things about her. Grandma D tells her they are kisses from heaven from Grandpa Von. That Grandpa must really love her. So do we.

Happy Rainy Halloween!

Happy Late Halloween everyone. It was a bit hard to get all excited about Halloween this year. Over 90% of October has been spent hacking up lungs and blowing/wiping snotty noses. I just want to cry when I see my little munchkins with super red chapped noses and lips and teary, sad eyes. Not only that-the big dog and I both got it too. Wahoo. I'm happy to report we are on the mend though. I hope this is all the sickness that we get this winter (ya right) because it has been about more than I can handle!

As for Halloween itself, it was a bit rainy here (ok-so that's an understatement), but it was a good time. We've dressed up a total of about 10 times now, gone to the Halloweenie Roast 4 times, and changed our minds on costumes double that, but all in all, we had a great holiday.Alex originally planned to be a witch. We got all the necessary costume items only for her to have a meltdown the morning of her Preschool Halloween Party because she secretly wanted to be a purple fairy. So much for my cute witch ideas-but we had the costume, so more power to her. She was as happy as a lark after that.Sam decided she just wanted to wear her favorite pink, princess dress-up and be a princess. Blessed child and her simple, inexpensive costume idea. We pulled out mom's old tiara from the Beauty Pagean Days for the occasion and she was a vision.And there is Rees. Isn't she a doll. The little darling was just too cute to put in a costume (that and I was super lazy). Sorry for the blurry pics. I'm not much of a photographer...but you get the idea.And I had to add these pics just for posterity's sake. I love Sam's sad 'Are we seriously taking another picture' look and Alex's great boots...She looks like she should be in combat with those things. But she insisted...and how can you say no to these cuties.
