We welcomed our second little boy, Hudson Riaao Taylor last week. August 30th, 2010 at 9:02 AM. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and measured 20 inches long. He is perfect in every way and looks just like his big brother. I have always loved the name Hudson and wanted to use an ‘H’ after… Continue reading Welcome to the World Hudson Riaao Taylor
Last night our friends were nice enough to come over and watch Tripp so Joe and I could go on a date. We have not been on a date in ages. We go out with friends all the time but haven’t been out, just the two of us, since probably Valentine’s Day weekend. It was… Continue reading Date Night
I had been seeing these amazing Summer To-Do Lists on the blogosphere and wanted to make one for our family. The idea of making our summer more intentional inspired me to think of things I wanted to accomplish during our last summer here in Spain. I made this canvas up about 2 weeks ago and… Continue reading 2010 Summer To-Do List
Aside from my Father, my husband is the BEST man I know. It is simply amazing to me that God designed us to find that one special person that we look at with such adoration and love. There is nobody I would rather spend my time with, cook for, go on vacation with, hug at… Continue reading To My Amazing Hubby

Our first stop was Washington, DC where we got to visit with Joe’s Dad who was there on business and see our friends Scott and Donna. Scott and Donna were… Continue reading Road Trip
30 days of vacation – when we extended in Spain for another year and they thanked us with a paid 30 days of vacation. Not a bad deal. We’ll take it! Tripp and I flew home to PA a week ahead of Joe so we could spend some extra time with family, namely my brother… Continue reading State College
I can’t say I didn’t help him. I can’t say I didn’t ask, in advance, for blueberry waffles. I actually set out the ingredients and filled the coffee pot the night before. What can I say, I’m a control freak. And my husband, as amazing as he is, doesn’t know his way around a kitchen… Continue reading Blueberry Waffles
These periodic updates will serve to fill your baby book some day. They will serve to help me remember the tiny humongous milestones you achieve so quickly. Since summer is upon us and the days are lighter longer we’re keeping you up until 8 PM. This typically means you sleep until almost 8 AM but… Continue reading 17 Months
Easter in our house means more than chocolate Easter Bunnies, dyed eggs and cheap wicker baskets. It means great things to us about God and resurrection and love and hope. But there are certain childish frivolities that still mean a lot, no matter where the meaning stems from. There’s something to be said about a… Continue reading Eggs and Dye
Some days there was a line but we didn’t care. She would have a half-order of pecan pancakes and I would have silver dollar pancakes or a mushroom and cheddar omelet. The home fries were always the same – perfect – deliciously crispy and smothered in greasy oil and minced onions. We would sit for… Continue reading It Wasn’t Just Breakfast
