Erik w/a "k"s Crazy Life Moments: Packing with some great friends!
http://erikwithakwilliams.blogspot.com/2014/07/packing-with-some-great-friends.html
Shirts, Hats, Etc. Monday, July 28, 2014. Packing with some great friends! Let's be honest; there isn't much fun about packing your home. The one thing that I find joy in it is being with my friends. The downside is you know they are coming because they're saying goodbye. We had a party, of sorts, as we loaded up the pods. With Josh and Steve at the helm of packing the rest of us brought out everything relatively unscathed. The $10 Pizza Hut deal is pretty sweet! Posted by Erik Williams. If you have been...

Erik w/a "k"s Crazy Life Moments: Our Road Trip (move) To California
http://erikwithakwilliams.blogspot.com/2014/08/our-road-trip-move-to-california.html
Shirts, Hats, Etc. Saturday, August 02, 2014. Our Road Trip (move) To California. Oh the tears. I thought I had emptied completely of my tears. I didn't know it was possible to cry so much. It feels like the weight of 18 years of memories and relationships has just dumped in a tsunami-like wave from my face. I know that time is the great healer (gift from God) and it will get better, but this is my raw, honest heart being torn apart. Here is a little video of our trip south! Posted by Erik Williams.

Shirts, Hats, Etc. Saturday, June 18, 2011. We FINALLY met our babies! My stomach dropped and we called our driver and headed to the orphanage. I wanted to have some friends we had met through Krista (former Dove employee) over facebook come and take pics and video and we were going to exchange that offer with them, but everything happened so quickly that we never got a chance to get online. I have 2 daughters and 2 sons! We held them. We loved them. We cooed at them. We talked and sang and l...This was ...

http://erikwithakwilliams.blogspot.com/2011/06/2nd-visit-with-babies-and-prayer.html
Shirts, Hats, Etc. Sunday, June 19, 2011. 2nd Visit with the Babies (and prayer request). That is not happening. We are praying that we pass court on Monday! Now to the good stuff. That never got old with Kynzi and Karston and will never get old with Haakon and Nyah. As a matter of fact, it isn’t old now when the older ones do still to this day. Kynzi had a great time getting Nyah to laugh. Those were some great pictures. I can’t wait to share them with you all! Posted by Erik Williams. I miss you so muc...

Erik w/a "k"s Crazy Life Moments: Welcome Home
http://erikwithakwilliams.blogspot.com/2011/08/welcome-home.html
Shirts, Hats, Etc. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Haak and I went to our seats in coach (loser) class and Jeanne-Ann, Nyah, Kynzi and Karston took their seats in first class! They were flying on rewards tickets and the return tickets (as we had to change them from Sunday to Wednesday) were cheaper if they flew 1st class! Thankfully Haak and I slept most of the way to Frankfurt. Just to upgrade. Gulp. These seats were AWEsome! Karston Enjoying a movie and a snooze. Nothing like stretching your legs on a flight.

Erik w/a "k"s Crazy Life Moments: Jesus' Birthday (Angels and shepherds party)
http://erikwithakwilliams.blogspot.com/2014/12/jesus-birthday-angels-and-shepherds.html
Shirts, Hats, Etc. Monday, December 15, 2014. Jesus Birthday (Angels and shepherds party). When Brian and Chele Condello moved to Oregon they brought with them a fantastic tradition. The kids would get dressed up as an angel or a shepherd and we would read the story of the birth of Jesus from Luke 2. (You can read that story below) This became an annual tradition with the Condello's and the Unwin's and the Prins's and more would join from time to time as well. Last year's Angels and Shepherd's party.

http://erikwithakwilliams.blogspot.com/2014/07/surprise-hot-air-balloon-goodbye.html
Shirts, Hats, Etc. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Hot Air Balloon Goodbye. Today is moving day. Sigh. We were scheduled to start the journey at 6am but 2 days ago I contacted my friend Jim Desch who is a hot air balloon pilot. I have crewed with him since my first summer here in 1997. The crew all work for free and get paid with flights. I woke up the kids and told them we were going to do an early morning breakfast before we left for Cali. "Breakfast" was the balloon ride. What a fun surprise. On...If you ha...
