The Rectordays

What??? A post that is not going to revolve around my kids.... that is unheard of! Correct... unheard of. However, I just have to write out the changes that have happened in the Rector family to remember how our world has just been rocked over the course of this summer. Rewind to October 2011.... I had my last wedding with DFW Events, where I had worked for almost four years. But knowing that Baby #2 was about to make their entrance, BJ and I both felt like it was time for me to transition home... a dream come true for both of us.

It seems like every day you are not only learning, but doing, something new and more of your little personality is starting to shine through. Sure, we definitely had some rough spots, but by and by you have turned out to be quite the keeper. We are just so thankful for you, for your health, for your continued growth and for the miracle you are.... we do not take our days with you for granted and pray that we never do... even the hard ones. Speaking of hard.... how about them teeth, little guy?? I can finally say we have pushed through the hardest part (to date) and your top teeth are in! WOOHOO! Not going to lie, you rocked a one-tooth-magoo look most of this month and you were the butt of many jokes. We are SO glad that other big tooth decided to join the party... if for nothing else, for sleep's sak
