Funny :)


While we were in the mountains last weekend, we stopped by the Candy Barrell at the historic Mast General Store. Colin and David are always bickering (David, surprisingly is the antagonist!) and Colin tries to fight back....here's the moment captured!

Discovering what an RV is!














So our friend Scott calls and, on a whim, wants to come and visit from Dallas and explore potential business in NC. So we wonder how he is going to get a flight so soon, and he says, no problem, I'll drive out in my RV! Well 2 days later he arrived, and my kids were thrilled! We had a blast going over to our cousins' house, Will, Olivia, and Ella, who also marvelled at the new site. The best feature was the horn, which played "La Cuca-racha" whenever you blew it. Scott will forever be known to my kids as the man with the RV! Thanks for coming to NC Scott!

Couldn't Resist :)



This cracks me up! I totally did not teach him to do this, but this is how he insists on sitting on the potty! He would kill me if he were old enough to know i posted this pic! Colin has by far been my hardest to potty train....and so we press on!

Our New Friend....


As most of you know, but many don't, there is a new "member" of the Williams family. Her name is Hser (pronounced "sir"). Mike (Lawson's dad) has been volunteering in Thailand for the past couple of years in a Burmese refugee camp. If I try to give the history, I will botch it all up, but Hser is from the Karen sect of Burmese people. Mike met her and instantly discovered her drive and determination to learn and help her people. She was very eager to come to America and study, and well, now, after a long process and with Mike and Jerry's help, she has arrived! She is living with Mike and Jerry in Henderson and "visits" Jen, Rudi, Lawson and me and the kids in Wake Forest on the weekends. Mike is trying to figure out her schooling options right now. Anyway, she came to Colin's birthday party and had a lot of fun. Welcome to America, Hser!!! We are glad you are here!
