Growing up too fast

When I look at her I see a little itty bitty scared baby that was placed in my arms seven years ago. Today when I walked into the kitchen and she was up at the stove making herself a bowl of oatmeal. WOW where did the time go? I have a little girl who is growing up before my eyes. She is learning something new everyday. God is going to do amazing things in her life. One of my favorite things is the one on one time we get in the car going to gymnastics. Somedays we talk the whole way, others maybe listening to praise and worship songs singing along or sometimes Hannah reads the whole way.  I think God blessed us with amazing children to raise for him. I love being their mom! 

Williams Family Update

Quick update on our family.  I guess I will start with myself first.  I have been really busy as a wife, mom and everything with work.  This week for me has been one of the hardest weeks I have ever had a work.  We had an audit for all of our books from the last two years. I have had to answer questions that were so hard.  I made it through and learned lots to improve my job. One thing I am pretty excited about is that I am going to be going through a Quickbooks training to become certified. Then after that training I will be taking an Excel class. This will only make me better in my job. 

David has been busy with work and doing some fun projects along with the memorials he is doing. He is playing softball once a week with a group of guys. He is also involved with the men's Bible study group at church and enjoying every minute of it. He said he has learned so much.  I have to say I am married to one AWESOME dude. He makes my life so much better. He is my friend, soulmate, love of my life!!! God Blessed with an amazing husband. Thank you David for everything.

Emily is doing really well. She is house supervisor for a residential facility. She is really good at it. She loves her clients that she takes care of. Emily is still "shooting" people with that camera. She has been house sitting a lot this summer for lots of people. She is loving being a big sister to her little sis! Have to say Hannah gets very spoiled by her big sis!! I love watching their relationship grow.

Hannah is doing amazing.  She is loving gymnastics. She is pretty good at it too.  She is preparing for the upcoming competition season. Hannah is scheduled for surgery for her palate repair and nose revision on August 13.  I have to say that she is in good hands with the UCLA team.  

Jake and Hailey are doing really well. They have completed their Junior year at Cal State Bakersfield. Hailey is working part time as an intern at CSUB for the summer, and they are getting closer to fulfilling their dreams and moving to L A.
That should happen sometime in 2016 after they graduate.

I do have to say one last thing. I will be posting more on here than on Facebook. I want to try to have a journal of our family. On Facebook it is hard to do that. I am hoping everyone is having a wonderful summer and try to stay cool. Enjoy your friends and family. Life is way to short to have drama!!  Please bookmark this site and check back to see what the Williams Family is up too!!

God Bless!

The Hideaway/ Five year Adoption reunion

Ginny's Memorial Service

Five years ago!

Five years ago today we boarded a plane to China to get our baby girl!!

The Big Move

As a mother this is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Jacob is moving into an apartment of his own today. David is in Colorado moving everything out of his moms apartment. So I am moving Jacob solo with the help of Emily and mom. When I had Jacob 20 years ago I knew this day would come, but I don't want it too. I know it is the best for him and me at this time in our lives. I know he is going to learn a lot of lessons being out on his own. I just pray that everything David and I have taught him he sticks to it. Son we are praying for you that you make the best choices and glorify God in everything you do. We love you bunches!!
