A Day... or shall we say a few days to give Thanks

It is becoming a "tradition" to celebrate Thanksgiving the weekend before the holiday as an immediate family (sadly without Lynn & Mike) by attending the Oaken Bucket Game in Bloomington / West Laffayette.  What a great weekend!  This obviously does not take place of the actual holiday weekend, in which many of us celebrated again!  

The Pre-thanksgiving weekend at Monroe was fun, relaxing and rejuvenating.  Thanks for a wonderful weekend all, and I hope you all enjoyed the actual Thanksgiving day! 

26.2 and 7,368

This has been a big week for the Taylor clan. This past Saturday Julie, Paul and Kevin ran in the Indy Monumental Marathon. Yes, that's right... 26.2 Miles!!  All three of them dug deep and made it across the finish line! They had quite a cheer team, equipped with loud cheers, signs (some appropriate, some not so appropriate) and as much enthusiasm as they could offer to the runners! It was a very fun day traveling all over Indy to see Julie, Paul & Kevin achieve such an amazing accomplishment. Congrats you guys!

Now we know that 26.2 miles is a long distance, but another distance we are well aware of this week is 7,368 miles. This is the distance from Indianapolis, IN to Okinawa, Japan. The time has come... its moving week for Lynn, Mike & Rusty! We were so excited that they could make it up to Indy on Monday for one last visit before their big trip! Everyone came over to our house for dinner. It was a bittersweet evening... we were so happy to see them, and very sad to say goodbye. We hope they have a safe trip to Japan and hope they know that we are only a "skype" away! Love you guys! (Can someone post some pictures from the evening, I don't have any!)

Confucius said "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step"... good luck on your journey Lynn, Mike & Rusty! We are with you every step of the way.

Learning to post

Going to meet up with the whole fam damily tonight. Mike and Lynn are in town for a bon voyage get together. I am sure we will have some photos to post later.

So, this is the first post on "Keeping up with the Taylors"... just thought I'd give it a shot!

Lynn & Mike - we hope your move is going smoothly. We are thinking about you guys & can't wait to see you in a few days before you take the big trip across the pond.

Here is a picture of the whole gang just to bring a smile to your face.
