Meet Rylie

So much to catch up on! On July 16-20, we did it up, Bar-Nutt style! In other words, we visited our friends Brian and Stacie Nutt in Tulsa. The occasion was the birth of their first child, Rylie Sophia Nutt. Rylie was born June 22 (a bit early) and we booked our tickets for mid-July just in case she was late.

My parents drove up from Paris since it is only a 3 hour drive. They stayed in a hotel and kept Noah for us, which was really nice. We were able to focus on the Nutts a little more that way. It felt strange sending Noah off to spend the night "at his grandparents.'" :)

Here he is sporting his Sooner pride. Not so strange in Oklahoma!

We dragged ourselves in from the day's travel and were so excited to meet this beautiful girl!

The guys and their kiddos.

Noah and Scripps became good friends. Or at least Scripps enjoyed Noah's love for throwing food on the floor.

I got in some sweet snuggle time.

And the guys put up the beautiful glass tile backsplash in the kitchen that Stacie has been wanting to do for the whole four years I have known her. :) It looks great!

Miss Rylie snuggling with her um...rat paci. Yes, its a pacifier attached to a stuffed mouse.

Tired babies. I love this picture.

Did I mention we ate a lot? Here are some family pics at Ted's Cafe Escondido. Of course, we had to have Hideaway too. :)

Here is the playset that Noah became addicted to. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to spend too much time with it due to the horrific heat that I had almost forgotten the feeling of.

Rylie has great toys awaiting her next summer.

For now, she didn't care for the cold dip on her feet.

We had such a great time and miss our buddies all the time! We really like Tulsa and wouldn't mind ending up there one day. :) And for those of you who were thinking it (you know you were), Rylie, as beautiful, sweet, and perfect as she is, did not inspire my eggs to scream for another one! Heehee...
