The royal baby has a name!  Drumroll please……

His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge.

Prince George. I like it.  What do you think?

It’s a boy!  Prince William and his wife Kate gave birth to a baby boy yesterday afternoon and I’ve been waiting all day for the first sneak peek!  I got a little teary-eyed watching the gorgeous couple FINALLY come out of those hospital doors with the little prince swaddled in an antique-looking blanket. (Do you think it was once William’s?)  Kate looked so lovely and happy.  And William looked super proud.  They were both dressed in baby blue (how adorbs!) and I even saw the baby wave some tiny fingers to the crowd!

They were both relaxed and casual when they addressed the press.  Kate said that it was an emotional and special time and that every parent could probably understand how they were feeling.  William joked that the baby has “her looks, thankfully.”  And that the baby has a “good pair of lungs that’s for sure, he’s a big boy.”  I love that William and Kate are so NORMAL!   William carried the baby in the car seat.  He loaded the car seat in the base all by himself and then drove the black SUV home to Kensington Palace.  Kate waved from the back seat with the baby.

They are still “working on a name.”  I hope we find out soon! I’m predicting something traditional.  (Plus, North and Cricket are already taken.)

I’m a big John Mayer fan and this photo from one of John’s summer concert stops completely stole my heart.  Here’s John hanging with his Dad on stage at the Red Rocks on July 16th.  Right after this moment, JM let his Dad pick the next song and it was “Stop this Train.”  (One of my favs and very appropriate.)

What a horrible way to wake up on a Sunday morning.  The news was all over social media.  Cory Monteith, who plays Finn on Fox’s hit series Glee, passed away at the young age of 31.  He was found dead and alone in a hotel room in Vancouver.   He had been struggling with sobriety for most of his life.  We don’t yet know the cause of death, but I’m so incredibly sad for his fans, his family, and his girlfriend, Lea Michele, who also played his costar Rachel on Glee.  I read that they were talking marriage and children.  And that they were excited to start the next season of Glee together.  My heart aches for Lea and her unimaginable loss.  I’ve loved Glee since day one and it definitely will not be the same without Finn.  Without Cory.

Rest in peace, Cory.  You will be missed.

Happy early RED, White, and Blue!  Courtesy of Taylor Swift who just wrote “So…” on Twitter and then introduced us to this awesome concert video for her hit song, “Red.”  This brought back lots of fun memories. Enjoy!
