BIG Weekend

The Walcotts had quite the weekend. Friday was our 5 year anniversary. We share that anniversary with several friends of ours. Hope you had a great day VZs. We also now share the date with Kim & Aaron. We attended their wedding at the Amway on Friday night. It was our first outing outside of an appointment at the pediatrician last week.

Kim & Aaron's wedding was beautiful. We had a great time, and I was so thankful that I was able to attend. We were able to visit and meet a lot of people including Aaron's family from Philadelphia. Kim & Aaron will be moving to State College, Pennsylvania after a two week honeymoon in Italy. We are ecstatic for them.

We were able to visit with lots of friends including Angela (my college roommate) and her husband Jon.

Dan & Jordan babysat Bright upstairs in our room while we were at the wedding and the reception. Kim told the Amway that we were celebrating our five year anniversary, so because we had celebrated our wedding at the Amway five years earlier they upgraded us to a beautiful suite.

Following our time at the Amway, we headed to the Raterink Cottage for the rest of the weekend. We hadn't been there in quite some time, and we missed Memorial Day Weekend because I was still in the hospital. We know Bright will grow to love this place as much as we do.

Jon got to finally wakeboard for the first time this year too.

We hope you had a great weekend just like we did.

Here I am!

I'm back! Jon went back to work, and I'm here at home with Brighton and my mom. I can't be alone for about 10 days, so Mom has been hanging out with me and helping. We are very thankful for all of the support and prayers from family and friends. We can't imagine getting through all of this any other way. THANK YOU!

I'm definitely on the mend, and feeling more and more myself each day. Bright is doing great. We stare at him, smile at him, and laugh a lot, but as you know he doesn't do much that needs reporting.





I really don't know what to write as becoming a mom is hard to describe. It's overwhelming on a lot of levels, but at the same time the most amazing time in our lives.

God has so richly blessed us. "My cup runneth over..."

Welcome home Bright!

We came home today! We got discharged from Holland Hospital right after breakfast. Lindsay is resting and taking it easy. Jon is trying to get caught up around the house. Bright is relaxing after a bath and watching Dr Phil with his Grandma Raterink. Brighton is great, he only fusses at bath time, and he is eating and sleeping like a champ. Lindsay will update the blog and begin emailing soon. Thank you for all the support and prayers.- Jon
