Jonah Alexander

a ton has happened since i last posted. Jonah Alexander Williams was born yesterday with a skin disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa. i kind of know what it is but not enough to write on my blog. so my suggestion is to just go over to Patrice's blog and read about it there...

these last 2 days have been rough but things will be okay. i am trying to just hand my worries over to God and let Him take care of everything, as i know He will do. i just really hope His will is for sweet Jonah to be healed and live a full life with his mommy and daddy and family. for now we are just sitting and waiting. its aggravating not being able to do anything or know anything but we are all together which helps. for now i am not allowed to see Jonah because i am under the age of 16 (lame) but i think Patrice is working towards changing that. she asked the lady working at the NICU counter i if i could possibly come in and she said she would have to ask the manager. they better say yes. Jonah is going to be here for 2 months AT LEAST. i can't wait that long to see my nephew. i have only seen him once, very briefly, but it was wonderful. he is SO cute. i cant wait to spend some more time with him.

I'm pretty sure everyone who reads my blog is already praying for Jonah but please keep on doing it. its the only thing we can do to help him right now.

love you Jonah! keep on fighting.

waiting for squishy

right now i am sitting in the hospital listening to squishy's heart beat. i am getting very impatient. i want him to be here! soon enough though. we are actually having fun in the waiting room killing time. we have played spades and nertz and eaten and taken pictures and just talked lots. its nice that we can all be together for a happy event. thank you SO much to everyone who prayed and thought about Patrice and Matt and the baby. things are looking good. hopefully we don't have to wait too long and i will soon have pictures of the new arrival! check patriceandmattwilliams.blogspot.com for updates!

8th grade sucks - volume 7

this is what happens when you play indoor soccer without shin guards with a bunch of screaming girls who don't know how to kick a ball.



ow.

other than the ankle, gym class was actually fun! (nope...not kidding). we played indoor soccer which i was way excited about because we NEVER play soccer. i don't understand why but we don't. i love soccer. what's amazing is i actually made a goal all by myself! it was awesome. guess those couple years of playing soccer when i was little paid off. or maybe the other girls were just too busy kicking people to realize what was going on. could be....

perfect weather

the weather here was perfect yesterday. it wasn't too cold or too hot or anything. just perfect. isn't it weird how 3 days after it snows it's 70 degrees? the world is just all confused these days. but I'm okay with it. i wish it would stay warm forever. i spent all day outside yesterday with all the kids from the apartments. it was really fun. the boys skateboarded while the little kids ran around and screamed at bees and i took pictures. i loved it.











now i am just waiting for summer. i can't wait for the pool to open!

what's with all the white stuff?

Tuesday morning we got a 2 hour delay for some reason. supposedly the rodes were icy. then on Tuesday night it actually snowed! and I'm talking like REAL snow. it came down hard for around 30 minutes (maybe a little more)....



....and then it stopped. but it was at least enough to cover the ground. we didn't have any more during the night or anything but it kind of stuck and there was still some on the ground in the morning.



i wanted to play in it so Emily came over but by the time she got there is was pretty much gone. i was determined to make a snowman though. so, with a little snow and some left over Christmas candy...



ta da! i know...kind of pitiful. but hey, its still a snowman. a very very little snowman. but a snowman all the same.

thanks to Emily for freezing her butt off just to make me happy. :)

what happens when i'm bored

aren't they cool? i got these wooden letters and paint for Christmas in 2007 and just now got around to painting them. i am planning on hanging them up on my wall. they turned out really well.
