we are home!!! beckam and i made it back to our dust this week, and it feels so good to be back at it down here :) lace ended up driving home with darren a few days before me, and then beckam and i flew home a few days ago. this whole heart issue with beckam put quite the kink in our plans and took quite the emotional toll on us and our families along the way too. we had so much help along the way, and i just can't go without expressing my thanks. i think that lots of prayers were sent to heaven for me and for becks, and i know they were answered. i so appreciate everyone who thought about us and hoped for us and prayed for everything to work out for our family. you seriously don't know how much it meant for me to get little messages of encouragement and support, and i know that we are home and happy right now because of the prayers and faith of our families and friends. THANK YOU!!!!!
one specific big thanks goes out to grandma moj and grandpa peterson! this is my favorite picture of them and becks, and i am just so thankful for such amazing parents-in-law. darren helped my dad give beckam a blessing when dust couldn't be there to do it himself. they gave becks some little presents for the flight home, and they helped to ease the burden that came along with being away from dust for so long and dealing with some serious health stuff with beckam. they relieved so much of my stress and just really truly care about our family. i know they would do anything for me and for becks and for dust, and i just can't imagine life without their love and support and help in everything we do. thank you thank you and love you so much :)
i also need to send a shout out to my parents and kait. me and becks ended up staying with them for 3 1/2 weeks. we ate their food and took up their space and made a mess of their house with all of our stuff. my mom took off work to help with hospital trips. kait helped to keep my mind off of things and provided hours of entertainment for me and becks along the way. my dad helped give beckam a blessing when dust couldn't be there to do it and was that priesthood presence in our lives, and my mom, my dad, and kait all helped with beckam when i needed a break. they loved us through this little trial of ours - which is exactly what we needed. we had lots of fun while we stayed, and i just couldn't ask for a better family! we missed kris at the house but felt her love and prayers and faith all the way from korea, and it meant a lot krissy poo! a girl really couldn't be more blessed with the love of family than me!
anyway.....i know that what we went through is nothing compared to what many other people in the world go through with their kids' health issues, but thanks for understanding how big it was for us. beckam's heart murmer adventure isn't over, but i know we'll be ok with whatever comes because of the love of friends and family and because of our hope and faith in the plan for our family. thanks for keeping our stress low and our spirits high, and we will keep you updated :) gotta keep this little quirky smiling boy of ours healthy and happy!

All the "sweet", "cute". "sweetest", "cutest" stuff is definitely true but leads readers here to ignore the reality that his heart condition is likely the result of his father's attendance at a high school where the heart problems are legendary..........and, scientific studies have demonstrated that although environmentally based, LCIo-HC (LCI origin Heart Conditions) actually radiates the DNA of long-term attendees at LCI and has the potential to produce heart defects in succeeding generations. The only known resolution for the ailment ensuring reproduction occurs ONLY with soul mates who've attended places like RHS where heart is both rich and plentiful.
So, let's all remember where this serious and potentially devastating problems origins are and do all we can to ensure its potential for destruction is eradicated. Those reading here may demonstrate their resolve to beat LCIo-HC by opening up their wallets or emptying their bank accounts and donating to the Raymond HIgh School Sports Legacy Fund, c/o Ron Hill, Raymond, Alberta.
Together we can beat this thing.
Now, isn't that little baby a sweet, cute thing--even with a hole in his heart?
Lynz, thank yourself and your hubby while you're doing this kind of blog thing---that's where it all starts, endures, and ends for little Beckster---and is a huge reason why your friends and family are in it with you in their thoughts and prayers. Go Beck, Go!!!!!
