Big News December

This has been a monumental week in the Williams' home.

Recreating a scene from E.T. Unfortunately, we don't have enough
stuffed animals so we used clothes...it doesn't have the same effect.

First off, there have been many changes in Hinckley's life this week. Sadly, Hinckley is loosing large amounts of hair. His thick, dark hair is coming out and he has a large bald spot on the back of his head. We (especially Kassie) are lamenting the loss of his locks and can only hope that new hair grows in soon.

Also, the baby just sprouted his first tooth! He has been drooling like crazy lately and chewing on everything. The discovery happened when Kassie was talking on the phone and Hinckley decided to bite her finger. It was one sharp bite that led to the discovery of a little white head popping up from his bottom gums. This tooth is not the sole culprit, though, because its neighbor is popping up as well.  We try to keep the pacifier in his mouth because he has been sucking on his hands so much that they are red and chapped. Poor baby! Hinckley has no use for these teeth yet because we are holding off solids until six months, but he will be ready when the day comes.

Merry Christmas!

We decided H's hair style is beyond the mullet motto and is
more like "professional on the front, chaos in the back"

In bigger news, Greg decided to quit his job. He will not be going back to Teach for America or being a teacher at all after Christmas. This has been a difficult decision, not only because of his concern for his students, but also all the people that have helped him come this far. So, that means he is looking for a different job and we don't really know what we will do for the next few months. It has really taken a lot to come to this point and we have to reflect back on the many ways we have grown over the past few months. We are confident that whatever comes, the Lord will guide us through it and protect us along the way.
