A Glimpse of Williams Family Chaos, Music, and Fun!

I don't always fit in and it isn't always perfect, but this video highlights the reason why, after all is said and done, there is never a day that goes by that I'm not completely thrilled and grateful to be a part of Travis' family. This is why we moved here, and I'm so happy Sophia is spending her babyhood wrapped up in chaos, music and fun...and family!

Meet our baby squirrels!

Yesterday afternoon (May 11th) we went for a "family walk" and found two baby squirrels crawling around in the grass. One of them was injured, and we took both of them home. After several hours on the internet and on the phone we found an animal rehabilitator who was willing to come get them, but they had to spend 24 hours with us first. A note about baby squirrels...they are beautiful and trusting and wonderful but also a LOT of work! We enjoyed them but they are definitely better off with the rehabilitator. It looks like they're both going to pull through! Travis named the injured little girl Hammie and I named the boy (who was very strong and feisty!) Kermit. Here are our little squirrels!

Hammie curled up against the water bottle
Kermit found his way into the "habitat box" we provided


Feeding time!














So cute!







Video of Travis feeding Hammie!

Recent pics!

Sophia is constantly standing now...she pulls herself up on EVERYTHING (especially our legs!) and is cruising a little!



Our visit with Grandma Mary! (Sophia was snoozing!)


Still a mess maker...



Her hair is long enough to do the Pebbles look! SO cute! (but a way lot more work than I typically care for!)



Teeth!





Sophia loves to be upside down!
