Meeting Tripp....

Once we were out of my C-Section and back in recovery, BJ went to get Eleanor to come meet her little brother before we told our families what we had :).... apparently, he still had tears in his eyes and so while he was away they all placed bets that BR #2 just had to be a boy... they know him well :).
 
After Eleanor got a few minutes with Tripp, BJ went back out to let everyone know the news.... here is how he did it!

After the hoots and hollers, everyone started making their way back to meet their new grandson and nephew.. the only thing that stinks about recovery is that guests are only allowed back four at a time, so we couldn't all celebrate together, but rather, in waves....

Dot-Dot.... funny enough, she was wearing pink the day Eleanor was born and has this very same picture with her...
 
Nanna....
 
Aunt Katie....
 
Aunt Kristen.... only 11 more weeks until she is in this same position with her own little bug!
 
Grandpa and Paw-Paw (Paw-Paw is William Joseph Rector!).....
 
 
 
Uncle Benny....
 
Aunt Mindy....
 
And Silly Big Sister, Jenna...
 
After about an hour of recovery, I was released to go upstairs and Tripp was sent off to get measurements, etc.... so off we went to watch from the window to the nursery!
 
Grandpa had Eleanor saying "Bubba" like a champ... and she was enthralled with all the activity that was going on in the nursery and waved and called for Bubba the whole time. Melt. my. heart.
 
 
 If you ask me, it was the perfect birthday for our precious little one... we love our SON, baby boy Tripp!!

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
