Meet the Family

Meet the Tweeny/Teeny BOPs: Hudson {age 13 when this was taken; now 14} and Ella {age 10 when this was taken; now 12}.

Hudson: loves music, playing guitar, sailing and unicycling.  And cheeseburgers from Five Guys.  He started his own DJ business in 3rd grade, so we shuttle our entrepreneur and a car full of equipment to parties and events.  It’s a good gig {for him, that is…}.  We’re so glad to have someone in the house who can solve any technological issues that we adults may encounter.  Plus, he’s just a really nice guy.
Ella: loves to move, and is an entertaining bundle of energy!  Her favorite things include her ballet and hip hop classes, sports, and spending time with her fun friends.  She also loves art, and is an eager learner. She dreams of world travel and big adventures.
And Then There’s Mr. BOP: Think of him as Carrie Bradshaw’s Mr. Big, but eager and willing to commit.  He’s a devoted husband and father, as those nice guys tend to be.  My number one piece of maternal dating advice will be “go for the nice guy!” I am am incredibly thankful that I found him — and that he likes me back.

So there you have it; that’s us. Not every day is perfect. Not every day is fun. But we’re trying to make the most of it.  So far, so good!
