The Williams Family: Derek's Graduation

Hooding and Graduation!

I can't believe that it actually happened! It seems like a dream because we have been waiting for this moment for so long. Introducing Dr. Derek Williams DDS. Within the four years of dental school we had three additional princesses to our family. Derek has been an amazing hubby and daddy to our girls, all the while working hard in school and exploring dental town.

WE LOVE YOU DADDY!

During the Hooding Ceremony, we had the common area to ourselves so we took some pictures...what an adventure.

Love all the smiles! (check out Claire's new smiles with the wink- ha ha)

The many emotions captured in 10 seconds captured in the next three pictures. Good luck Derek with the next 15 years experiencing the emotional roller coaster with all these girls!!!

Ashlyn is growing up so fast. She is a sweet girl who befriends anyone that she comes in contact with. We love how creative, smart, and kind she is. Derek and I feel so blessed to have her as the oldest sister because she is a great example for her sisters.

Brinley is full of laughter and joy. I wish I had half the amount of energy that she has. She brings a smile to my face with her mischievous and happy personality.

Oh our sweet Claire bear. She is turning into a little girl so fast. She is beginning to talk in sentences. She loves to keep up with her sisters. We enjoy how sweet and lovable she is.

Baby Des is a fun addition to the family. We consider her our most smiley baby (ha ha she isn't smiling in this picture). We love all the smiles and giggles. She is also a good sport being smothered by her three older sisters.

I love my mom so much! I am so blessed to have her as my mom and the great grandma she is to my girls! We sure love you!

I love watching these two become best friends. There are times when they fight, but there is more joy and good moments when these two are together. It melts my heart to see their friendship grow everyday. Sisters are so special!
