Very Busy, But Having FUN!!

Last week was a whirlwind, but filled with great blessings! On Tuesday night, we drove to Nashville and stayed with some wonderful friends of ours, Rob and Holly Tims. (You know they are great friends when you don't get there until really late and they stay up even later to visit with you!) The kids had a blast getting to play with their two boys, Trey and Jonathan, the next morning before heading out for Virginia.

We hit the road and headed East to Virginia to visit with Jason's family for the night. Everyone was able to meet our sweet little Abigail Grace for the first time, and the big kids got to play outside and explore around the old barn at Mamaw's house.

We spent the next morning with Mamo and headed back East to Greenville, TN to spend the day with our good friends, Steve and Holly Mulhollen. It had been 3 years since we had seen them and they left for Mexico. We had both added two more children to our families during that time, so it was even more exciting than before! It was such a blessing and didn't seem like any time had passed since the last time we were together. We were able to visit with each other for hours and the kids spent the entire day playing. Holly's dad took all of us on a wagon ride around their property and we had a wonderful time walking by the river, exploring caves and being joined (unintentionally) by the neighbor's dog, Ginger. Thank you to the Callans for hosting us all day and sharing your family with us!!

After our fun and exciting day we headed back to Virginia and returned home the next morning. It was a whirlwind trip, but worth every minute! Thank you, Lord, for lower gas prices!!!

Are we up and running?

Well, I had great plans of getting this up and running before the baby was born. . . Instead, we had a lot of fun and excitement around here earlier than expected and thus the blog was delayed a bit :) So, here we are now - on the worldwide web - ready to keep our friends and family up to date (at least better than before!) on the happenings of the ever growing Williams Family. I will begin with a disclaimer, however: I have great intentions and I plan to try to update at least weekly - hopefully more - but please be willing to give grace to a homeschooling, ministry-wife Mama of 4 children 6 and under! :)
After a busy day at home, Jason and the "big kids" went to the Saltillo Football game where they had lots of fun and enjoyed getting to spend time with their friends. They had a super time and got to stay up extra late to watch the Tigers win!!! Abigail Grace and I had some fun of our own and we were able to work on this new blog all evening.
I have quickly learned that it is not that difficult to blog, but it can be very addicting looking at all the cute backgrounds and fun additions!
