Fun with my cousins

First day of School

Today was a big day for the Williams household. First was Charlie's 1st day of Mighty Max class. It's a mommy and me class at my sister's church. He was very good and sat with mommy the whole time (much to my surprise)!

The girls entertained themselves during the boys class. They knew their turn was coming...

Here's charlie making his craft.

Next was Taylor turn for school! Here she is sporting her new Tinkerbell backpack.

Charlie thought he should have a backpack too. So he wore her Strawberry shortcake one.

And even brought it in the car.

Taylor met her cousin, Grace, in the parking lot and they walked in together.

Jessica took this picture of me walking Taylor down the hall to her classroom. (I wanted to cry because I was so proud of her and excited for her, but I saved the tears until after I dropped her off)

Here's Taylor and Grace hugging before parting ways in the hall.

Taylor jumped right into it when I brought her to her classroom.

And she didn't look back.

Oktoberfest at Aunt Cheryl's

The kids had a great time at the Oktoberfest celebration at Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Roger's house.

We all had to dance (the chicken dance) for our supper!

Grandma and Grandpa gave Taylor a dolly that she named "Baby Taylor"

They had a fun egg hunt for the kids.

Momtopia, Park, and Sibling Pics

The kids like going to Momtopia events at the Dayton Mall. There's always a child entertainer and lots of giveaways.

Aunt Jessica took them to a new park last month. They loved it!

Mommy seized the moment when the kids were sitting relatively still together to snap some sibling pictures.

Julie's Visit

We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Julie this week! She got to spend a lot of quality time with her nieces and nephews.

On Wednesday night we had a sleepover at Aunt Jessica's house. Cousin Becky spent the night too! The girls likes playing Guess Who with them.

We stayed up until 1:30am talking!!

On Friday we went to Uncle Steve's Lake in IN.

The kids loved playing in the sand.

There was also a neat playset for them to play on.

Uncle Steve took us for a ride on the pontoon boat.

Julie leaves for Chile today (saturday) at 3:30pm. Please pray for her safe journey. We'll miss you, Julie!
