This week, Chris and I had to make a very unexpected and sad trip back to his home town.  We lost one of the best men I have ever met this week, Rex Bouldin (Chris' dad).  We were going to see him and Chris' mom this weekend for our reveal party and he definitely wanted us to have a girl.  We wanted him to Baptize our kids when they were born and have them call him "T-Rex".  While we were at Chris' parents house we planted a tree in his dad's honor and buried his mom's and our Palms from Palm Sunday with the tree (Rex loved Lent).  One of the best things that was said to Chris and I at the visitation was "Rex is now up there picking out the perfect little baby for both of you."
