Williams/Petter Family vacation
























































Last week we went to Hammock Beach in Palm Coast, FL with my parents and brothers. We had an incredible time swimming, going down the slide, singing, dancing and playing. Here are some pictures.

Growing fast, playing hard...

My babies are growing so fast, so I wanted to take a minute to share what they are up to.

Raygan
* Repeats everything (even bad words, so we MUST be very careful what we say)
* Loves to brush her teeth and it must be done several times a day
* Loves Hershey-she laughs and cuddles with him constantly and he even lets her ride him like a horse
* Favorite things to eat include Mac and cheese, apples, apple juice and dreamsicles (aka 'pop')
* Does everything mommy does- cleaning, putting on lotion, earrings, wants to play makeup- you name it ladies and she wants to do it
* Daddy has her saying GO CATS! and COACH CAL!!!
* Loves boats and screams at us if we don't turn down the road to go to Papa's boat
* Hannah just recently starting kissing Raygan, so needless to say, Raygan thinks she is queen bee now!
* Loves baby Luke and asks for him as soon as she wakes up
* Still trying to eat dog food everytime we feed Hershey and Hannah
* Becoming quite the artist- drawing is her favorite past time
* ELMO is the ultimate- she does everything with Elmo that I do with Luke (puts him in the car seat, bouncy seat, wraps him up in her blanket, puts him in the crib, in the swing)
* Talks on the phone- calls anyone we will let her
* Starting to potty train- has good and bad days, but its a start

Luke
* Is a PERFECT baby- so good and so easy going (he and Raygan are total opposites)
* Babbles and smiles all the time
* Loves his Baby Einstein activity center and bouncy seat
* Sleeps through the night
* Stands with assistance
* Loves to get his clothes changed- he laughs histerically
* Was 17lbs already at our last Dr. visit - our baby growing so fast :(
* Eating rice in his bottle as well as with a spoon to keep up with his beast of an appetite!
* Fascinated with Raygan and watches her every move


Life as a parent is exhausting, but so incredibly amazing! Raygan and Luke keep Josh and I on the move, and have added so much to our lives and strengthened our marriage. It is awesome to watch them develop into their own little people.

I thank God everyday for the wonderful blessings of my husband and children.

Stay tuned for pictures from our beach vacation with the Williams.
