I am a little lousy at keeping this up. It is much easier to share short, quippy stories and quotes from the kids than to try to write a narrative.. :) That and almost all my friends have migrated off of here.. so I mostly just like to keep up with who all is left, presuming they don't care as much about the minute details of MY life as I do about theirs!!

Anyway, if anyone didn't know yet, Williams baby #3 (and #4, Eden insists) is on the way. We are looking at a mid-to-late July arrival. My first summer baby! This will be fun. :) Eden suggested to me yesterday that I should have 10 children, but judging from the piercing screaming I heard while I was trying to take a relaxing shower this morning... I am not sure I will be taking her advice. ;)

That's about it!

You can have as many children as you have -- and Eden can pick up where you leave off.

Hope all goes well with Baby #3! Let me know if you are in this area again! We will meet up somewhere :)

by desi at 01/27/12 11:57AM
Funny girl you have! Thanks for the update here. I love hearing from you now and again!

by heatheronthehill at 01/27/12 12:53PM
Oh, I hadn't heard! Congratulations!! I really would like to find a way to come up there so we could see what it'll be like to get Eden and Kaia together. :-)

by nthnswmn at 01/27/12 2:08PM
Well congratulations! I know everyone says this, but time really does fly, doesn't it! I'm happy for you all.

by worker_at_home at 01/27/12 3:33PM
Yay that's great! We should be pretty close in due dates then, mine is due in late july! Hope you have an easy and healthy pregnancy!

by andtheking at 01/27/12 8:57PM
I had heard, but congrats, if there is any consolation I have it on reliable source the dirt, noise, chaos level, never gets any worse after 3. But we decided to stop at "just right" and in the words of Mary Poppins "enough is as good as a feast"

by nickkrumrei at 01/28/12 8:21AM
I heard through the grapevine. Not sure which one. Congratulations! I announced to my dearest when we discussed children before we were married that I wanted to have 10 children. (I was one of two siblings and had such wishful thoughts about more siblings!) I don't think my husband believed me when I said I wanted that many children! We didn't quite make it to 10, but we are tickled with those that the Lord blessed us with.

by muma at 02/02/12 3:16AM
:) Glad to see the update on here! I'd like to come visit you guys soon if that's ok. I'm planning on driving up to Bowling Green for a day soon.

by littlelamb at 02/06/12 11:40AM
Yay! Is there a day next week that is better for you or worse?

by littlelamb at 02/08/12 7:46AM
Well, we just got back from Ohio/New York and are still recovering from the flu. Well, we're pretty much recovered, but everyone is super tired and fussy- including me! :)

by littlelamb at 02/08/12 12:08PM
That was an excess of well...

by littlelamb at 02/08/12 12:09PM
Aw! That is so sweet!!!!

by littlelamb at 02/08/12 1:31PM
It's next week, isn't it? Ok, how about NEXT week? I only have plans on Monday and don't want to crowd Wednesday...unless that's the only day that you have. So...what day is best for you?

by littlelamb at 02/14/12 8:55PM
Yay! Congrats! At least you'll be done halfway through the summer!

by meg at 03/05/12 1:32PM
Thanks for posting and praying for me! Still pregnant, on bed rest, but will probably induce on Thursday. I will be almost 38 weeks, which is so great! Hope you are doing well!

by andtheking at 07/03/12 1:45PM

Boy, that was an old post!

at 04/15/11 4:34PM

Here are some newer pictures for those of you who don't use Facebook! The kids keep growing.. making me laugh and cry and shake my head in wonder each day. I wish I were more of a story-teller, but there you have it. Just trying to count my blessings and not let the stress get to me!

Amazed by how much they've grown! You've got cute kiddos!

by heatheronthehill at 04/15/11 4:49PM
They are just beautiful!!! And Eden's hair is great.........three cheers for you for letting her have it long! So good to see your beautiful family..... updated in pictures!

by worker_at_home at 04/15/11 7:16PM
Levi's big boy haircut looks great! I like your hair too. :)

by mountainmama at 04/15/11 7:47PM
P.S. You should make the one of them watching a video you new profile picture on here. So sweet!

by mountainmama at 04/15/11 7:47PM
:) awww!! I loved this! I miss you!!

by sarah_seaton at 04/15/11 8:59PM
Great pictures. Eden is such a beautiful little girl--I love her wild and curly hair!

by rapunzel at 04/16/11 12:37AM
Dittos! What marvelous times. I see so much of Amos (i.e. Collier traits) in Levi especially. Thank you for the pictures. Hugs to all for us.

by nickkrumrei at 04/16/11 6:18AM
Hi Becca- - Cute kids! My, how they are growing :)

by ruthkrumrei at 04/22/11 8:26AM
Wow, Levi really looks like a Collier.

by kitkat at 04/24/11 10:24PM
Sweet sweet pictures, Becca!

by meg at 06/08/11 2:38PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BECCA!!!!!

by mountainmama at 06/20/11 2:23PM
Your children are PRECIOUS, Becca. :-)

by melissakae at 07/12/11 9:58AM
Thanks for such great comments, Becca! I personally do not have a problem keeping up appearances (I've been known to have folks come over for supper an hour after a small basement flood happened!), or having spotless house, but after Isaac was born, I, too, was just so exhausted--physically and emotionally.

by meg at 08/23/11 5:34PM
You said that you don't know how I can live without cheese, well, I don't know how you live with all of those crazy food allergies for your poor, poor son! I guess as moms when something needs to happen, we just figure out a way, huh? :) And yay for bananas! Such a toddler-friendly food and so convenient for travel. It will be NICE to have them back in the repertoire, I'm sure!

by heatheronthehill at 09/04/11 9:24PM
hi!

by abigail_1s25 at 09/17/11 9:45AM
Loved your comment, and so proud of you for taking a lesson from little Eden. Inspired me to go sing hymns with my girls this evening, as they spontaneously began in their bedroom. May tomorrow be more peaceful.

by raifhaus at 11/03/11 10:24PM
I feel you. This was one of the worst Sundays in my memory. I took out the boys 5 times in the span of about 20 minutes this morning. Tonight wasn't much better. They were NUTS today! Daniel, sweetly went to the store to get me a soy cheese pizza because he felt so sorry for me.

by heatheronthehill at 11/06/11 7:09PM
Yes, by the way, I imagine you woudl have no trouble understanding the phrase "hijos del sol" but other readers might wonder...

Mostly Levi

at 08/11/10 4:28PM

Eden is blossoming in such a lovely way and Levi keeps getting bigger and bigger! At his 4(andahalf) month check-up he was 28 inches long and 18 pounds, 7 ounces! Now remember, that's basically how much Eden weighed at a year.. :) I am working hard every day to not take these wonderful blessings for granted, but Levi is turning out to be not-a-good-sleeper-#2 for our family, although Eden is really really well lately. Today Levi took a wonderfully uninterrupted 2.5 hour nap (he's slept about 30 minutes at a time for the past 2 weeks!), so I got some much needed Bible study/prayer/cleaning time in. He's trying to sit up on his own but still can't handle much of any weight on those chubby little legs of his. :) I love watching him grow!

These are almost a month old, so hopefully we'll have some new ones soon!

I think I see more Eden in him now... He is SOO cute - and so much HAIR!

by mrs_worm at 08/11/10 4:32PM
how cute!! Oh he's such a doll! When picassa opens in a new window, my favorite picture is #26!! His little expression is just priceless!! :D

by brianne at 08/11/10 5:42PM
They are both adorable! Congratulations on two beautiful little yet big blessings!!

by worker_at_home at 08/12/10 4:38PM
Precious kids :)

by ruthkrumrei at 08/14/10 8:38AM
if he is extra sensitive (my Thomas was) you can try clarified butter (you can even make it yourself - just google for directions) with should have 100% of the proteins removed. Hope it helps! It made a HUGE difference for Thomas! He really was like a completely different kid!

by heatheronthehill at 08/26/10 2:56PM
You are so right. It is like any other tool and must be used properly. I am concerned about the identity theft aspect, I have heard of people stealing childrens names off of the blogs, then building identities around them and by the time the child is a teen their whole lives have been stolen and ruined. Hence the code names used by some parents when referring to the kids. Miss you kiddo. Hoooogs

by nickkrumrei at 09/24/10 4:52AM
It was absolutely hilarious watching the CBS guy trying to film as he walked across the street. He kept getting honked at and flipped off. The thing is that it's a special zebra strip where pedestrians have the right of way so cars have to stop.

by littlelamb at 10/09/10 3:44PM
They are the Picardie tumblers from Williams-Sonoma. :)

by littlelamb at 11/18/10 10:38PM
I talked to Heewee yesterday. I was telling Amos about the baseball glove, ball, and bat that I bought him. His reply: "Oh", "Oh" and "I see" He is such a little Mocking Bird. It is HILARIOUS to watch him mimic Aaron in mannerisms and voice inflections. I suppose the kids do that with you and Phillip huh?

by nickkrumrei at 04/08/11 6:09AM
Hey!! I can not believe how big your kids have grown!!! They're so precious, and I'm so happy for you!!!

We just moved to Florida a month ago, so a lot of people are still finding out about it :) It seemed that just when people found out we were in SC is when we moved to Florida, haha. Tim went to SC for a preacher-training thing with his dad for an agreed 4 months. Though we ended up staying 6 months because it took time to find a church hiring a preacher :)

by sarah_seaton at 04/13/11 10:33AM
HAHAHA! We don't. And he does eat dirt. And dandelions. And compost. We do try to discourage it, but we don't get too upset when it happens. Anyway dandelions are full of nutrients. He's just exploring his world and some dirt won't hurt him.

I've discovered that I'm really not much of a blogger... :) I do get on and read every day!

Here are some more photos for those of you not on Facebook. Levi is growing so fast.. roughly 15 pounds a week before he turns 2 months and around 25 inches long. We'll see what his official measurements are next week at his checkup!

he is SO cute! And Eden just cracks me up!

by mrs_worm at 05/14/10 8:24AM
Great pictures! They are both adorable..........glad all is well.

by worker_at_home at 05/14/10 2:10PM
Love the pictures :) They grow up so fast!!

by ruthkrumrei at 05/14/10 2:25PM
Cute cute!

by beckdobbins at 05/14/10 2:51PM
Thanks for the cast iron link! :)

And I totally sympathize on the foggy feeling. I'm pretty much in a continual state of fogginess here. I think the two of us could sympathize on a LOT together if we could only think straight long enough to remember what we need sympathy for! ;)

by heatheronthehill at 05/27/10 2:53PM
Another girl, name is a surprise. :)

by mrs_poochie at 06/01/10 9:49PM
and Caitlyn is moody about fixing her hair -- today she wanted ponytails, only to take them out in the car before we ever got to daycare, wouldn't let me put them back in or put in a hair barrette - so she had "crazy hair day", too bad that was the special day at school a couple weeks ago and not today. :)

by mrs_poochie at 06/01/10 9:51PM
Yes it is Aaron's Bumbo, and plunger.

by nickkrumrei at 06/10/10 3:48PM
I know...time has really flown. I can't believe how big Levi is getting! Can't wait to meet him! I really regret missing out on your wedding too...I can't remember what was going on now but I do remember being there one week before your wedding. I wished I'd just called off work and drove down even if it was just for the one day....

by sarah_seaton at 06/28/10 11:16AM
aww too cute! thanks for the picture! I'm saving it. I don't know if you need any 18 month stuff or anything else, but I've got a couple things I'm going to be putting up for sale. I have a crib toy - a fish that has a mirror and attached little toys things, it lights up and plays music and a few 18 month play clothes (can't remember if summer or winter - maybe both). I also probably have some 3T girl stuff to list - play clothes and some shoes (size 7 to 8.5 or so??) I'll let you know when I post it so you won't miss it.

So sorry! Life with two has definitely been busy!! Here are some pictures for your enjoyment, sorry there are so many!

Aw, he's precious!! Congrats!

by desi at 03/22/10 5:21PM
What a big boy-he's so cute! Love the pics!

by lindseymarie at 03/22/10 5:33PM
Your little guy is sooooooo adorable!

by neenee at 03/22/10 7:15PM
I love his head FULL of hair!

by cnh42 at 03/22/10 7:38PM
how do you grow babies with so much hair? :)

by mrs_poochie at 03/22/10 8:57PM
He's so cute! He's a big boy! I love Eden's "Big sister" shirt :) Congrats!

by mrs_worm at 03/22/10 10:38PM
Soooo sweet! Made me miss the newborn days already! :) Thomas has the little outfit with the bear in the rocket ship too! Hope you are feeling well and that the adjustment time goes as smoothly as possible.

by heatheronthehill at 03/23/10 8:42AM
Sweet baby :) So happy for you and your family.

by ruthkrumrei at 03/23/10 1:00PM
Adorable! Congratulations to your happy little family!

by worker_at_home at 03/23/10 2:23PM
He is sooo cute! I can't believe you're a mother of TWO already, it seem so recent that we were all in school together just worried about are final grades :) So Happy for you and your family!!!

by strawberry_patch at 04/12/10 8:40AM
Such a handsome little man! I loved the one where Phillip is reading to your two little ones -- it's precious. :)

by laurar209 at 04/16/10 12:40PM
You can do it! I did my first 10k 5 months after Charlotte was born, though I cheated and started back running 4 weeks after she was born. But don't do that! It was foolish and can cause all sorts of problem. :)

by littlelamb at 04/16/10 10:13PM
Yes, it sort of melts when you heat it up and it will be just liquid. I find that the gelatinous kind (when cold) is richer and more flavorful. If you want it to be more liquid, you can mix it with water, but I like the more concentrated version. HTH! Oh and I have no idea why it didn't do it before. Mine nearly always congeals when chilled.
