Especially on the way to the wedding with the ring bearer in your car! And I love it that you and Luke were being celebrated as the "newlyweds" while taking the real bride & groom to their hotel. So funny! Sounds like it was a fun and spontaneous weekend. I can’t believe how many times you got lost because of Google! Especially on the way to the wedding with the ring bearer in your car!

And got a reality check about how unhealthy restaurant food is!! I already knew that eating out is bad for the diet, but I had no idea just how bad! On a more pleasant note, I love your photo gallery - such breathtaking pictures. And the pictures you posted of Corbin are adorable. He makes me smile every time I see him!

My name is Kathi Burkhalter and I am Melissa's aunt. Here let me make it a little confusing. I am married to David Burkhalter, Gary's brother, who is Colleen's cousin. Thank you so much for your kind words. You hit everything directly on the nose. Mel was such a wonderful and giving person. My heart is so broken but I hold close to my heart God's promise that I will some day see her again. I am so sorry that we did not have a chance to talk at the memorial reception. I was overwhelmed with how many people kept stopping me wanting to extend their sympathies. I was also so touched by how many of her Jr. High and High School classmates came to pay their respects. I always new that Melissa was an amazing person but even I was overwhelmed. If you would like I would be very willing to get to know you and Luke via e-mail.. It is very hard for the Burkhalter family to keep in touch because everyone lives so far away. David & I have three children, Shannynne (pronounced Shannon), 27, Mark, 24 & Jordan (female) 21. We also have grandaughter Dove almost 2. These kids are all cousins of your little Corbin. By the way congratulations on Corbin. I talked to Coleen at Christmas time and she told me the good news. OK as you can see I talk a-lot. I hope I haven't scared you away. Again thank you for your kind words. Kathi Dear Julia,

Now my son and daughter-in-law have had a little boy, born January 31, now 12 days old. We're all American, but live in France. She only feeds him 6 times a day because he sleeps so much and he's hard to wake up and she says its ok because he nurses longer than her daughter did (40 minutes as compared to 20). I came for the birth to help out and I can see the baby getting thinner and thinner, his chin has become pointy and he's less and less alert. I know its normal for them to lose weight the first week, and they kept them in the hospital until he started to gain a bit of weight, but he seems to be thinner and thinner every day and she says that it's because he's growing longer. She doesn't weigh him anywhere, considers French doctors to be idiots, and says that the Baby Wise method does not stress the importance of weight gain. I haven't read the book, but have had 3 children and believed then, as now, that weight gain is important, no matter what this Baby Wise book says. I am here to help out and have snuck to the computer at 3am to research current US pediatric policy on neonate weight gain. I don't want to be the wicked mother-in-law and have been careful not to say anything about this to my daughter-in-law as she is breastfeeding and doing what she feels is best for her baby, but I am becoming desperately worried about my grandson and his health. I feel like I'm watching a mushroom dry up on a plate and need to decide how to get her to have him weighed tomorrow. Proper nutrition is crucial to the cerebral development going on during these first few weeks of life, aside from everything else. I am happy to have found this website and the very helpful comments and links on this page. Best to all.

A neighbor asked me to make her one in a funky fabric. It was easy. I used the standard bone. Is there another kind that is more ridgid and wider? Thanks for all of the info.
