Catching up with the Taylors

I have yet again fallen behind on the blog, surprise surprise. The reason I initially created this blog was to have a virtual record of our family as Sean and I entered into the world of parenthood. As I soon found out, working full time and maintaining a life outside of work is a challenge and every second is precious. So of course blogging has been on the back burner for quite a while. A year actually- ouch! Thankfully I've kept notes on BG over the past year and I will pull them together in her own post coming up.

In the meantime, here is a quick little run down of what we've been up to since this time last year!

   Bennett Grace started school in August. She loves it!

We got new iPhones and Bennett Grace enjoyed trying out the Beats.

In the fall, my sister found out she was having a girl! 

There were lots of holidays
