Henry's First Blog Post!

Dear Henry,

It was so fun to meet you last night. We are so excited to get to know you and watch you grow! You have amazing parents and a pretty great family. Let's hang out soon.

Love,

Aunt Katie

Family

I wrote this yesterday around 2pm not knowing anything of what the days events would have in store for our family. Now more than ever, I love you all...

As we begin another year I wanted to take a moment to reflect on our family. First I want to say how without a doubt in my mind each one of you have helped shape me into who I am, and I am truly glad I have the family that I do.

As we close 2010 I have been thinking about all that has happened this year...We have added a new sister to our family and with that completed all of the sig others! I have been thinking about how much I still miss Gramps. How we do lose people we love, and how important it is to tell our family how much we love each other. I am excited that we will be adding a new little member to our family soon! I can't wait to meet Tiney and love that he marks a new chapter in our family... GRANDKIDS!

Most of all, all of this reflection reminds me how important you all are to me. I know that no matter what happens or how far I live from you, we will be there for each other. Thank you for being my support, my best friends, and my FAMILY. I love you.

We lost a huge part of our family, our Friend, Uncle, Dad, Brother, Husband... our Jim. We will miss him dearly and try to make sense God's plan...

Farewell Grandma Marion

A week or so before Christmas the whole Taylor/Flanagan crew got together to send Grandma Marion off with a bang as she is starting a new journey living in Philadelphia near her son, Andy. As always, there were lots of stories told, lots of laughs and even a few tears. We will miss having Grandma Marion around on a regular basis, but know she is just a phone call and a trip away. We love you, Grandma Marion!!!!

Merry Christmas From Japan!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's!

We hope that you all have a great holiday.

We missed you and wish we could have been there to celebrate with you,

but know that we were thinking of you.

Thanks for skyping with us and continuing to include us in The Taylor Sib/Sig Exchange!!

It was great to "see" you all.

We love you!

Shot, Lynn and Rusty
