all I want for Christmas

all I want for Christmas

Little known fact: My front two teeth are fake. No, really! I chipped them both off when diving into a pool during swim practice in 10th grade. (Do you remember that, Olivia?) I had a swim meet the next day, and my parents had to rush me to a dentist to get it fixed before the meet. But this post isn’t about my front two teeth. I successfully avoided the dentist for four years, until this past June when Paul…

new england, part 2

new england, part 2

You can read part 1 from my trip here. Which basically covered… Friday. :-) Saturday morning came way too fast, considering that we went to bed at 3am!

It was held at a church Paul used to attend when he was growing…

I went to nbcolympics.com and clicked on “video”. I entered my information – zip code, and antenna broadcast. Then I try to watch, and it tells me I’m not eligible. I have to…

Gerig Reunion 08!

Gerig Reunion 08!

We got back late Sunday night from a wonderful weekend in Indiana, attending our second annual Gerig Hall Reunion! It was an amazing weekend, full of laughter, relaxation, encouragement, and all around pleasantness being with people we love and don’t get to see very often! And this trip didn’t end with a puppy running away. (We missed you, Jera!) I’ve been pleased with the positive response I’ve gotten from our Taylor friends, about getting together every summer. We had 16…
