Julie's Life With Boys

Caleb loves this toy. I am posting this for my parents' sake because they wanted to know what we got our kids with the Christmas money they sent for them. and urrg. I keep pushing Enter on the keyboard and it keeps publishing my post prematurely.

Taylor received an interactive dog for Christmas and he loves it! It was purchased with money from his Grandma Chardan and Grandpa Bruce.

No more count down. I am not really sick...except this morning? (Jan. 29)

Just a few things: Caleb is concerned that the factories are smoking caffeine. Taylor is screaming at the top of his lungs. Josh passed his Professional Engineer licensing test.

Really, it was an action shot or something like that.

This is my new series on Taylor Talk. (Let's just get this genius documented) I will be posting a few different segments showing Taylor talking and signing. In the pictures you may notice the shoes over his jamjams. This was his choice for the photo shoot. He rather likes wearing lots of clothes in video shots...Ooops! I guess I shouldn't have got him in his nuddy pants. By the way, you'll have to excuse my British terms. I have been reading Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, and On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God, both British teen books that are silly, a little crude, and make me laugh out loud. Now on with the show:

I was babysitting our good friends youngest boys Monday morning. After we were done eating breakfast they all went upstairs to "play" while I cleaned up. I was completely shocked when I came up stairs. This is what I found...
