Buh Bye Childhood Home

We're saying goodbye to my childhood home over on Silverstone this week.  My parents are moving.  Obviously lots of memories in this place, but we are also very excited for my parents to move into a new house. They close Monday and move this week.

I snapped a few pics of the place on Thanksgiving.  I am super thankful for the place and all of the memories there, and we anticipate lots of fun family time at the new house too.

We're Takin' It Easy

We're all takin' it easy over here at the Walcott home.  Brighton injured his foot last week jumping off a table - nice.  We watched him with an awful limp for nearly 24 hours, and then we determined we should probably bring him in.  Poor little guy has a pretty bad sprang (thankfully not broken!), and he has been limping something fierce for several days now.  Doctor's orders were to not run or jump for a week.  Umm...have they met my son or I'm guessing any average three year old?  I think it is slowly getting better, and he has been a trooper through the whole thing.

This mama is takin' it easy too.  I had some pregnancy complications a few weeks ago, so I have been instructed to stay home from school and take it easy.  Even though I'm missing my life at school, I'm obviously following doctor's orders. Not exactly how I was thinking this would all work out, but I'm very thankful it's not worse because it very much could be. 

We're all doing fine, we're just not the wicked busy Walcotts you have come to know.  

Make sure you find some time to do some takin' it easy this holiday week.  It really does make you thankful for a brand new set of life's experiences.
