Here lies some tall stories...Neat structures of New Orleans

These are just some of the skyscrapers that I was impressed with…either their structure or design or just catching my eye. I thought the window pattern was impressive.

What would it be like to have an office or condo on one of the top four stories – great view and maybe a deck (couldn't see if there was railing or not.

This was the top of a tall building. Hey, let's make a really tall building then put a cake topper on it…with pillars…and make it white.

This reminded me of a taller version of the old field house on CSU campus.

This was a drive by photo…it was the crème de la crème…SUPER DOME. We drove right past it when we drove from the airport to the hotel late at night and it was too dark to photograph then. This was the closest we've been since.

Coming to a Theater Near You...

I'm just waiting to hear the words ring in my ears...Dad, that just creepy now stop...(Jessica)

Another day with Baby Olive...

 

Connor and Olive are tye-dye buddies. Connor and Katie had a tye-dye day and made shirts and socks and a "onesie" for Olive.

Sunday evening, Connor, Katie (Connor's friend), and I took dinner to the hospital folk (Jen, Megan, Rusty and Olive). We had BBQ chicken off the grill, baked beans, a broccoli cheese rice thang and fixins (for those who wanted to make a BBQ chicken sandwich). We got there just in the nick of time. Megan had just started to eat her hospital food. I looked at her plate and said – "What did you get today, Chicken?" She said, "No this is chicken!" mmmmmm. We all had Sunday dinner together in Megan's room. Times have changed. When my brother Aaron was born, our family got to go to the hospital. Dad pointed out my mom's hospital room from the parking lot – third floor. I remember one of us saying, "Can she see us? Will she wave?" We did get to spend a couple minutes looking at him through the glass into the nursery.

Olive in her cool, far out tye-dye onesie…showing us that she doesn't sleep 24-7.

When the Taylor family gets together, we try and include Jessica and Cody via Skype video. We miss her and she REALLY wishes she was here, but knows that time comes soon. The person on the right is Jeff. He has been a friend of Megan and Jessica (and all the Taylors) since Megan's high school years

Sprinkle of Sunshine - Olive Elizabeth Wadleigh

Same baby? No! We have how come full circle…The picture on the above – Olive the picture on the below – Megan and her first bath. The Taylor button nose continues on. Olive entered earth life Saturday morning at 6:52. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches in length.

Megan and baby are doing fine. ..Rusty is not doing too bad either

Grandma Taylor and her new granddaughter – Connor and Mitch now take second seat…the cats are a little concerned who's going to take care of them now too.

One proud, grey-haired, happy grandpa….Will now be referred as PapaT…(warming up my Elmo, Kermit, Grover voices as I type – they better let her watch Sesame Street…at least "Elmo in Grouchland")

Jessica gets a good view of the baby too. We had her Skype'd in (both her and Cody) so she could be a part of the experience. Skype – the next best thing to being there.

Olive's first TV program – Germany vs Uruguay in the third place game of the World Cup…Germany wins 3-2
