A Great Thanksgiving Day!


We started our day off early. Daddy got up at 6am and made breakfast. We had sausages, hash browns and I had my pancakes. The rest of the family had eggs and muffins that grandma and grandpa brought. After we had a great breakfast, daddy and mommy got ready so we could goto grandpa John's house for Thanksgiving dinner. We went and our uncle Jason was there, our cousin Jake and Gracie. And of course grandma Diane. We ate, grandpa make special turkey so I could eat it and special corn, my daddy brought my mashed potatoes too. We had fun, watched football and played. Callie and I did not want to go home, we had so much fun playing the piano and hanging out with our cousins. I have included our Thanksgiving picture with Matt. Hope you all had a joyous Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving- Time to give back- will you help me!

Hello all,

At the Taylor household we have a lot to be thankful for this year. Barring a total disaster Lynda will not have been in the hospital for an extended stay in over a year (knock on wood) and is generally doing better. We still have our daily challenges but we count our blessings. A friend of mine at the VA hospital in Iowa City sent me this info. I think it would be fitting this time of year to support our troops, because without them we do not have the freedom we enjoy. So I have a challenge for all my friends and supporters out there. Please send a holiday card and a kind word to a recovering solider so they know they are appreciated for their sacrifice. Here is where you send it:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20307-5001

Just add one card to your holiday cards this year. Think about how you can impact a solider with very little effort. We are sending 3 for starters.

Thank you for your consideration and God Bless America!

Lynda Turns 6!!



Yesterday we had a 6th birthday party for on Lynda Dee! Wow it has been a long 6 years and flown by all at the same time. Lynda got the modern day Baby Alive that now "Pees and Poops", joy at the Taylor house. We got a great surprise with our friend Jack coming over. Lynda's cousins, grandparents and god parents all were in attendance. The pictures are of Callie with her cousin Anna and Lynda opening her Baby Alive. This morning we were blessed with our first dirty diaper, boy was that a celebration by the young women in the house. Lynda also lost her second top front tooth, so for Christmas she not only wants her two front teeth, but her 3 front teeth. Laurie goes in for knee surgery tomorrow we are hoping she will be in and out tomorrow. Hope all is going well for you today! God Bless

Halloween Pictures


Hi all,

I know this is a bit late, but I am now posting pics of the girls in their Halloween outfits. Now here is the ironic thing, Laurie got these costumes at goodwill at a great deal for two reason, first they are Disney and good quality costumes and second it is always really really cold. So what was reality this year... you guessed it 71 degrees and sunny so the girls were down to shorts and t-shirts underneath to survive going up and down the street. Enjoy the pictures. This year we determined we could expand Lynda's candy offering to Skittles, Swedish Fish, Dots and Smartees. So fun was had by all. Callie expanded her candy offering to everything else Lynda could not eat. :o)
