Easter Picnic at TDC

This past Saturday, The Door Church hosted a fun, family picnic and Easter egg hunt on the lawn of our church. We had SO much fun eating and playing with friends.... Eleanor had the best time and it COMPLETELY wore her out! From the bounce houses to the hunt, she was all about it!

Daddy wore Tripper boy for the first little bit until it was time for him to nap... he was such a champ!
 
Momma and her precious baby girl... who could care less about a picture and was way more concerned with bounce houses.
 
So off to the bounce houses we went...
 
And to the slides....
 Having fun in the "big kids" bounce house...
 
Notice the curled up hands? Eleanor loves to make fists when she is really excited and when she is really mad. At this point, it was because she was excited.
 
Leni Kate, Eleanor and Lucy were ready for those eggs!
 And the hunt began! The church had a special section for kiddos under 2. We had no clue what Eleanor would do, but she actually had fun picking up the eggs. She really didn't get the whole, put them into your basket, thing.
 
But she was so curious as to what could be in these little guys....
 
So she was filled with DELIGHT when she opened each egg to find that there was a treat! Luckily, she is at the age that she doesn't really know what most treats are, so the fact that they didn't make it home with us really didn't ruffle her feathers.
 
And good little Tripp was just enjoying the day in the shade.... he napped perfectly at the picnic once we put him in the BOB!
 Eleanor showing off the inside of the eggs she found....
 
When no one was looking, Eleanor started hoarding eggs. She dropped her basket, would go take some from other kids and stuff them in her shirt. HA!
 
Me trying to get a picture with both kids. This was the best one....
 
Daddy and a TIRED, ROUGH looking Eleanor. She was POOPED.
 
And our cute boys with our sweaty, tired little girls. I mean, look at Eleanor... that is pretty much unacceptable.
 After the picnic, Daddy walked Eleanor and Tripp home so that they could both keep sleeping.... when they got home, this is how I found them.
 Such a fun day! We love our church family!

Rector 2.0

So, on April 2, 2011, I woke up to this... I immediately showed Eleanor to confirm... "Momma, are you kidding me??!!" So, we held off telling our families until Easter and had a great plan to reveal Eleanor as the BIG SISTER at the dinner table... we didn't think about that lunch was right after her nap, so she was a little groggy and looks unhappy, but we couldn't keep it anymore.... So a few days later we tried to take some pictures again to prove that Eleanor is VERY excited! We can't wait to meet you, Baby Rector #2!! As of now, we look forward to November 22nd when you will enter this world... (you are due December 1, but because I will have a C-section, you birthday is currently scheduled for November 22!)... but we are SO thankful to the Lord for your life as you grow inside of Momma right now and we are praying FERVENTLY for you... same as we did for your precious, big sister... healthy baby, who chooses Jesus at an early age and never once doubts that Mom...

Just Mauied...

So... in the spirit of the final blog about our wedding - it is time we move on to more important things for the blogger world hear about - it is only fair that we share some of our amazing honeymoon! Us, and about 5 other honeymooning couples on AA Flight 6 on October 12, 2008, journey to the honeymoon capital of the world -- MAUI!! One of the things I regret most is not taking up Mindy's offer and bring along her legit camera - we really did a bad job at capturing the best vacation ever, but we'll remember.... It all started here - the most magical sendoff I could ever imagine for my wedding.... and there we go... off to start life together as Mr. and Mrs. William Rector...! Dum Di Dum Dum....the next day (check out my awesome ratted hair) We had to get up at 7am to catch our flight - note: this is NOT recommended for anyone getting married-- either leave after noon or the Monday... wow that was rough! On-board AA Flight 6 direct to Maui! BJ and I cruising to our hotel in o...

ALOOOOHA....

T hat's right friends - we are packing our bags and taking a little BABYMOON next month. BJ surprised me last week and had this little ditty all worked out... ...In fact I did work out all the details, only to rework them a week later after the final go-ahead from Karen. Her rationale was appreciated and wise, albeit not well recieved at first. I called her the fun-killer. Ironic I know... "I'm a fun girl!" her famous self proclamation. (this portion written by BJ) N ot going to lie - when BJ first told me about this trip I was a little stressed (it's the planner and realist in me)... I mean, our life is crazy - and obviously finances are about to go haywire when we get into our new house and bring baby home... but as a good reminder, I have been brought back down to earth in realizing that there will ALWAYS be an excuse, we have more freedom now then we probably will ever again and God has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been our Faithful provider... we have the funds, so i...
