Walcott Whirlwind of Christmas

Christmas 2010 was a fabulous whirlwind of celebrations. We did 5 family parties from Friday to Sunday, and it should have been 6 parties. We missed one because two were scheduled at the same time.
Brighton fully understood presents this year and of course loved them. He couldn't get enough. He kept saying, "Now what present am I going to open first?" By day two he grasped the concept of taking turns, but he still needs to learn the word next. An extra measure of patience would be great too, but he's 2 1/2. Hope and pray you and yours had a blessed whirlwind of holiday celebrations as well.

Merry Christmas 2010!


Walcott Lanes

Jon planned planned for us to go bowling again this week since we had so much fun LAST TIME. When he threw out the idea to his family nearly everyone wanted to and was free to join us. We hit Northland Lanes this week and did bowling the Walcott way.

It was a grand time. Two members of our family own their own shoes. One family member actually threw the ball backwards - no, I am not making this up. And lastly, Brighton beat both of his parents. No lie! I'm just thrilled when my score breaks into three digits, but Brighton had no trouble with bumpers and a ramp - lucky kid.

Beyond the World of Chevys

We visited Daddy at work today, but work for Jon changed quite a bit just over a month ago. He ended a 13 year long career working for Chevrolet dealerships (We love Chevys!), and he made a move to an independent shop in town, D's Transmission & Auto Tech. The move provides lots of opportunity for Jon as well as working with a great group of guys. At D's, they fix everything on any car. They also are the best transmission shop in town - no really, Jon did his research because he really likes to fix transmissions. To make them even better than the already are, they now have Jon.

Congrats on the new job Jon! Does this mean I can start looking at foreign cars?
