To Mothers House We GO!

We are heading to my mom's for our annual trip, this year a little later than last. We are really excited to get to spend time with her and Emery and are really looking forward warm days, filled with Tennis and more!

We are brining some extra baggage along with us too, as Katie will be in tow for her last trip to see mom before she departs for Bristol England for a year! I can't believe we won't see her for a year! That is crazy!!!! But never fear, we have big plans a-brewing...plans to see Katie just slightly before a year! woo hoo!

Stay tuned for updates from our trip DAILY! YES! DAILY!!!!

The Baby Has Arrived!!!

Little Emma Grace Taylor has arrived!  

She came to us on Tuesday, Febraury 17th around 6:30 pm!  She was 8lbs 2oz and 20" long.  Sean said Erin T. was "superwoman"!  I found out later just how much of a super woman she really was....she did it all without an epidural!!!!  I can't even imagine! Erin T. you are definitely a rockstar! We are so proud of you!!!!  Even her doctor was suprised to walk in and find that she did not have an epidural! woo hoo!  

Emma is doing great and so is mom and dad...maybe a little tired, but they are doing well!  

Emma is now a week old and just as cute as ever and we swear that she has Erin T's raspy little voice! Yes another voice like Erin's and mine, that is so awesome!! 

I was so honored to get to be one of the first people to see her!  The pictures below are of little Emma, just about an hour old, and a proud couple of grandpa's holding thier little granddaughter!  This is Ken's first grandbaby and John's third!   Congrats to all....next up Sara L.'s little girl.  No names yet, they will decide when she comes, some time in late march!  woo hoo! 

and their stockings were hung by the chiminey with cheer...

Merry Christmas again everyone. I just wanted to share this picture with you that my mom sent over from her living room in las cruces. She captured a great shot!
Just as a little update. Christmas was fantastic and less hectic than usual, bittersweetly we only had two houses to go to as mom and emery packed up at the beginning of last year and moved out to NM. Gifts were exchanged, cheer was had with Davina's super yummy gluwein (a traditional German mulled wine, kind of like our apple cider, but with alcohol!) and tummy's were full with our around-the-world feast!
Katie is now living up here as of the 23rd. and her room is STUFFED with her SD belongings! Dad said it is great except that he now has a THIRD full kitchen set (his, mine, and now katie's)....we are definitely having a garage sale - SOON!!!!
That's all, I am sick, woke up with a nasty sore throat and have been lying on the couch all morning, watching chick flicks and SNL best moments on "E!"
Erin S. and I are going out for dinner at our fav. Indian place and taking in the "Twilight" movie-finally! (she has already seen it). So I am trying to rest up so I am ready for a fun filled night! woo hoo!
Peace out!

Kath meet Jamie, Jamie meet Kath...

SOOOOOOOO! I was watching Kath & Kim tonight, and was like who does Kath remind me of....she looks familar, kind of?....and then it dawned on me! O MY GOSH!-mommmmmmmmmm!
So, If my mom got the tip of her nose turned up a bit, lightened the shade of her skin about a shade in a half and grew her hair just a little longer and layered it- SHE would BE Kath (eg: Molly Shannon). Now she (my mom) may have her "blonde" moments- like turning a 1 hour walking tour into a THREE hour "where the hell are we in the middle of London" - But in no way am I eluding that she is like "Kath" personality wise, JUST looks. So here is a little something to show you my point.
