Luke Counts to Ten!

I not only had to post this story because I was so excited but I didn't want to forget it so I'm writing it down so I'll always remember how it happened.

Friday night McKenzie was at the computer, Luke was on my bed watching cartoons as I was folding laundry. McKenzie had instructed me to look at her project on the computer and when I walked by Luke said...one, two, thee...I looked at him and said, "four" and he said, "fi" and I held my breath after I said, "six" and he said "even" and then McKenzie and I looked at each other and I said, "eight" and Luke said, "nine" and then McKenzie, Luke and I screamed "TEN"!!! He then said by himself one through ten!

For those of you who will actually read this blog are probably the ones who know how trying and emotional the last year has been. From the first gut feeling to the first time I heard the doctor's say autism to the unknown. We now know that Luke is not autistic but continues to have many autistic behaviors. He is still in speech and occupational therapy and he has done beautifully! I'm so grateful for every new word! Counting to ten has never sounded so beautiful!!

Ready...Set...Blog!!

So, I've always read other peoples blogs and finally said enough was enough and decided to make my own blog! Here is a little of how the Williams began...

Sterling and I met at First Baptist Church in Broken Arrow as teenagers. We were in the same youth group and although came from rival schools we were always good friends. We started dating after high school and continued for 3 years before marrying in April of 2000. After only 6 months of bliss we got the biggest surprise....we were pregnant! McKenzie came that June and has been surprising us ever since. She is independent and full of personality! She loves to cheer, be with her friends, science and buttered popcorn at the movies. In February 2006 Luke joined our family. After seeing only pink for four years I was shocked and excited to see a little blue! Luke is our tenderhearted, lovable and feisty little boy! He loves the movie Cars, to wrestle...or tackle, zebras and lemonade! Sterling and I have been so blessed with these two amazing children! They bring so much joy in our lives!

I hope you have fun getting a peak into our crazy, fun and trying lives! happy blogging!
