We had a very relaxing evening
yesterday with Keith and Jie who both work with Lynne at Purdue. The highlight
of the evening however was Jayden, their three month baby boy.
Our babies just did not seem that small anymore. How quickly one forgets how
small and fragile newborns are. Lynne prepared a great dinner and a fun filled
evening was had by all.
This blog is a means of letting our friends and family know how we are doing in West Lafayette, Indiana

Thank You Brooke, We'll Miss You....
One of the most significant changes
in the OwensTaylor world since I stopped updating is that Brooke is no longer
or nanny. Yes indeed, a huge change after four years. Brooke joined us
before Connor was even born and over four years literally became part of our
family. She always will, just like we still hold so much love and
affection for Michelle, Lindsay and Kristina before her.
It’s virtually impossible to
adequately thank her for all that she did for each of our children and us over
those four years. She did stuff for us before we even realized we needed her
help. She loved, protected and cared for our children like they were her own.
And she did so many things with them. We all thank you from the very bottom of
our hearts, we already miss you dearly.
Over the last few years she completed
a Masters program part-time in Human Resource Management and has now moved to
Tennessee to lead the HR group of a Nestle facility. It’s never easy to move
jobs or a new location, Brooke, we wish you the very best in this new role, you
will do a fantastic job.
I'm Back with a Blog Post.......
I know it has been a while since I
reached out with an update and I also know that many of you noticed! Many
thanks to all of you who urged me to continue updating. This will be a short
note simply to say that I am back. I will follow up over the coming few days
with a variety of posts. A lot has happened over the summer and I never really
spent any time dwelling on the events of the summer on these pages.
As always I do leave you with some
pictures and like most of my posts they feature our three children. As you will
see below, they have grown!

Happy 6th Birthday Isabel
Today was Isabel’s 6th birthday.
Hard to believe that the little bundle that arrived six years ago is so grown
up already. We had a “My Little Pony” themed birthday party for her yesterday, it
was a great day, many of her best friends were able to come and they all played
pretty hard. Lynne did a treasure hunt and drew lots of my little ponies all
over the back yard, Brooke baked the cake as usual and my mum sent over her
birthday dress. We seem to have a familiar formula at this stage. Many thanks to
everybody for making it such a wonderful day for Isabel.

Michigan Vacation 2013
Since I last posted, I have
been to London for a week, Ireland for a few days and to Michigan for our annual
family vacation in Saugatuck. We returned yesterday afternoon and it has taken
us a full day to sort most things out. We had a wonderful time as usual, with
fishing, swimming, hiking, cycling and relaxing our primary activities. I also
managed to complete a finance exam. We were joined as usual by our very good
friends Randy and Lorraine and everybody had a terrific time. A few select
photos are shown below.
