Fun in February Sun!

Creature Comforts

This little girl enjoys her food!  

Watching Juliet eat breakfast this morning, I was reminded of this scripture, "The eyes of all wait upon Thee, and Thou givest them their meat in due season.  Thou openest Thy hand and satifiest the desires of every living thing."  Psalm 145:15-16

Autumn Days

We try to get outside as much as we can on these beautiful days!  

If you look closely at this next picture, you will see Clara on the blanket, enjoying the autumn sunshine!

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Juliet loves baby Clara!

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Your works are wonderful, I know that full well." 

Psalm 139:13-14

Welcome Baby Clara!

.

The Lord has blessed us with a new daughter, Clara Naomi Williams. 

She came six weeks earlier than we expected, yet she weighed a healthy 4lbs 11oz, and is 17 3/4" long! 

Eloise and Juliet are fascinated with their new little sister! 

Glory to God, who has richly blessed us beyond anything we could ask or think. 

My three girls!  

Spring means...

It's springtime!  

For us this means Juliet is almost one year old!  

She's discovering how much fun playing outside is!

Eloise is getting ready for summer!  ("Remember we went swimming before, Momma? Maybe sometime we could go swimming again!")

Juliet really likes showing off her new smile! 

Spring means more outside time with friends

and cousins!

The Giant Came Tumbling Down!

Cleaning up the yard included taking out a big, old Maple tree!  

 

Our Family Vacation so far

One minute Juliet was examining sand, and the next minute she was sound asleep in it! 

I love this look! 

Oh! Pretty flowers!

A Month with Juliet Rose!

Here are some random moments from our first month with Juliet Rose. 

She is such a blessing from the Lord to us. 

Eloise was so excited to see baby Juliet in the hospital!  She loves her so much. 



Four days old.  She has already changed so much since then!



Eloise Joy - the big sister!

 



Juliet gets to wear all the bonnets, booties, and sweaters
her Grandma made when Eloise was born. 



"A mouth!"  (What an amazing discovery!)



A very special moment to me. 

I am definitely the most blessed woman in the world! 



Ready to share, Eloise?

In preparation for our new baby, I have the infant carseat out. 
Eloise decided it is quite a nice place to relax!  Soon she will learn to share with the new baby. 

And, of course, I have to compare it to her first time in the carseat, when she came home from the hospital at three weeks old. 

Getting ready to be a big helper!

Eloise is getting ready to be my big helper when our new baby is born!  She is such a joy to us. 

 

And for a little longer, she is my little baby!

Eloise loves to read!

Snow!

Yesterday we played in the snow!  Naomi took these nice pictures for us. 

It was all very new for Eloise, because she is too little to remember last winter's snow. 

Reading with Daddy

Eloise is reading Bible stories with her Daddy!  She is so excited by everything.  I am continually in awe.  (If I approached everything I did with such vigor and excitement, I would be exhausted beyond measure!) 

I really need to video her reading one day.  She turns from page to page, looking for babies or dogs, or seeing a fire and trying to blow it out, or seeing water and yelling eagerly what I think is "Swimming, swimming!" 

These are very special times, especially because Nathaniel is out of town a lot these days. 



"Look!  What's that?"

"Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
 Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."  Ephesians 3:20-21

 

We are truly blessed!  Thank you, Lord!

Eloise Joy and cousin Christine Joy!

Eloise loves her cousin Christine, as evidenced in this little clip!  They will grow up as very good friends. 

Three Wonderful Years

Yesterday, November 8th, we celebrated our third wedding anniversary!  We are very blessed. 



Pledging our vows





Mr. & Mrs. Nathaniel Williams!

Eloise Joy, our precious daughter!
