not sure if you guys were still using this but here's the banner i made for this thread...

[__ebeth]

I have some lit banners too if you need any of them. I see we lost the color scheme on this board

[Airie]

Aww, hopefully the layout will come back.

Can I add again that I really love the banners in the main post? Like a lot?

Also, I have a R/J colorbar (I didn't make it, but I know who did) to donate to the main post if decorations are needed.

[__ebeth]

The banners don't look right without the layout

We should make this thread, and all the others, looks even better then last time. All fancy-shmancy like.

[Airie]

I totally agree.

[madelen]

Oh, we'll get the graphics back soon. The Graphics team just have a lot to do right now, since so many boards lost the graphics.

Sure. If you know it will be all right with whoever made it.

If you have something we can add to the first post to make it look even more pretty, go ahead and post it here!

Btw, we also lost the list of the R/J kids names.

[unapologetic mocker]

rory and jess all the way baby!!!
yep!! lets make this thread all pretty!!!

[madelen]

Do you guys have any thread title ideas? Maybe something from last weeks ep?

[Airie]

"It is what it is. Him. Her."

Jesus H. Christ, that sounds absolute crap in third person.

[Milo-phile]

But it was absolutely adorable when Jess said it...

[madelen]

Originally Posted by Milo-phile But it was absolutely adorable when Jess said it...

It was. Maybe we can just use that line? I'll add it to the thread title for now, and if you come up with something better, let me know.

[Airie]

Good idea, Madelen. It sounds soooooo much better that way.

Oh, and here are all the baby names I can remember:

Holden
Lucas
Brody
Maria
Celeste

I really wish I could remember more...

[madelen]

Thanks for posting the baby names, Airie. I wouldn't have even remembered all of those.

[__ebeth]

Zoe! Or however you spell it.

Some banners if the first post needs any.
