Anna Turns 6 Months

Anna turns 6 months today. I just recently converted some VHS video footage to digital format, so I thought I'd share this first meeting of Anna and Elizabeth back on June 10th.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving Day in Richmond and visiting family during the break. Here are some shots: Thanksgiving 2005

JMU Homecoming

We went to Beth's alma mater, James Madison University, for the homecoming game against University of Richmond. It was a great trip. The weather was beautiful, we traveled comfortably on a "rock star" bus, and enjoyed being with new and old friends. Thank you Buddy for setting up a great trip.

President Bush in Norfolk

President Bush visited Norfolk today to deliver a policy speech on the war on terrorism at Chrysler Hall. It was a very busy and exciting week as I was able to spend 3 days with the White House advance team and Secret Service in preparation for the event. The President delivered a convincing and historical perspective on the necessity for continuing the fight. Text of the speech can be found here: War on Terror and photos here: Bush in Norfolk

Early Fall

Anna turned 4 months, can turn over, and is talking up a storm. Elizabeth is enjoying school and becoming quite a little girl. Here's a nice photo of the girls reading before Anna goes night-night. Check out some other new photos here: >Early Fall Photos

Duck & Hurricane Ophelia

We had a great 4 day weekend down in Duck with my mom. "Slophelia" gave us a show the first couple of days, but is was glorious after the storm passed.

Summer Sunday at 31st Street

We enjoyed a nice evening again at the 31st St Park/Hilton at the beach. Elizabeth showed off her ability to get down with the band and anyone else who wanted to dance or run around. Check out photos here: Williams Photo Collection

Remembering Tim

Today would have been my cousin Tim's 34th birthday. I really miss him, and the best way I know to honor him is to pray for Joan, Prince, Amy, Lisa, Ian, Maddie and Camden, and to try to follow the life mission statement he created.

It reads:

To be there for both my family and friends. Not be just about what I have but really try to be about what I can offer, or Do for others. Try to balance my life as to make time for my children, my wife, myself, my job, my business and still feel what life is really about. The love for my family has caused me to realize that its not what you have, but the quality of life you live. I don't want to work so hard to have things or bigger “things” but to learn to enjoy the little things in life. The power is nice and it feels good to be on top, but what's on top? Do we just complicate life with details and miss the real meaning? I want to be at all the games, plays, parties, graduations and all other major events in my children's life. I don't want to be the absent father that works too much and don't experience the raising of my children until its too late. Let's find a happy medium in life and try to maintain a balance in all the above to be “successful" or "on top”.
