We heard from Matt

Hello All,

We heard from Matt- sounds like Basic Training (Army training Sir....) is going well for him. He did well on his first day on the shooting range putting all his bullets into the inner circle. Bad new though, he will not be returning in Sept to see us all due to the Army fast tracking his training. Will keep you posted as we hear, if you need his mailing address let us know.

Happy 4th of July America


Well the annual Taylor tradition of going to Independence Iowa for their huge 4th parade continued yesterday. This year was not as sunny and dry as past years. Yep we all looked like soaked rats by the end of the hour and 1/2 long parade. The girls had a blast, grandma and grandpa came with us to hang out, get wet and drive back. We did not get to take pics due to the amount of rainfall- so next year we will double up. The girls have had a good forth, we have been trying to incorporate tradition with food allergy safety. So far so good- knock on wood as always. I hope you all had a great 4th weekend and enjoyed the birthday of our country. We have heard from Matt a couple times at Basic as he went through the reception process- sounds like things were going well so far- can't wait to hear back from him again soon! God Bless America!

Have a great week!
