Packing Up

Our house is starting to look very messy and empty. We filled up a ten-by-ten storage unit with bins full of books and just plain stuff. Our dumpster (which used to be empty a few days ago ) is now filling very quickly. Many trips to the storage unit and [...]

Kasie’s Photography

Okay, I know some of you have probably noticed the lack of quality in some of the pictures we’ve posted (not mentioning any names…:). Let’s face it: I’m not the best at photography. Walter’s very handy with a camera, and Aunt Frances is a superb photographer, but me, well… let’s put it this way; [...]

Family Fun

This past week and weekend have been an absolute blast! My brother Brian drove down from upstate N.Y. with his family, sister Joy flew out from Colorado with hers, and Sharon (my only sister who lives nearby) and her kids visited almost everyday to be with everyone – almost all my family were together again!
We [...]

Farewell Concert

Last Sunday, the Willi held a “farewell concert” for all of our friends and family! We’ve been so blessed by all of them over the years, and we wanted to give them one last gift before we go. I believe it would be safe to say that the concert was a smashing hit!
We [...]

So, me and my siblings got [...]

The Countdown Begins

Day 7
There are exactly 7 days until the closing date on our house. After the 2nd of November, the Willis family will be officially ‘homeless.’
We most likely won’t be leaving the North for good until around the 15th of November. Between now and then we’ll be living with my sister’s family, and visiting friends on [...]

Katelyn

Katelyn: my little niece from Colorado. She’s grown so much since last I saw her!

“Kasie, doing?”
“I’m eating dinner, Katelyn.”
“Daddy, doing?”
“He’s eating dinner too.”
“Walter doing?”

*smiles* Can you tell what her favorite question is to ask?

Love the shades, Katelyn!

What an expression!
“Walter go?”
“I think Walter’s on the computer.”
“‘puter?”
“Yes, he’s writing an email.”
“Oh.”

“Kasie doing?”
“I’m playing Boggle.”
“Kasie doing?”
“I’m still playing [...]

Dad Is On The Lam

Just a little part of the “roasting” given to Mom and Dad a few days ago.

Pride and Prejudice play: the pictures

I know; the play took place almost two weeks ago – pictures should have been posted soon afterwards, but with one thing and another, I just haven’t gotten around to it until now. I know some of you have been anxiously awaiting these , so I’ll delay you no longer.
And so, without further ado, [...]

Weekend, Mold, Laptop, oh My!

Hello everyone! What a weekend it has been for us! A farewell concert, a “roasting”, family and friends – it’s been great. (And is still going on!)
We’ll have pics up on the blog in a few days, for your visual enjoyment!
(I know, I hate multi-topic posts, but here goes…)
We [...]
