The Graham Family: WAY Too Long since our last post....

Well...it was October the last time I said I would update this regularly. Ooops...Well, this time, we really are back. We promise we'll update our blog more often & post more pics of our precious girl. There's way too much much going on to fill in all the details right now. Suffice it to say between, job changes, moving, medical issues (nothing too serious that we can't handle) and general day-to-day stuff, updating the blog has not been a priority. But, we're turning over a new leaf. Family and friends are the most important thing in life & with too much distance between many of us, this space is an easy way for us to reconnect, even if it is only in cyberspace. So, to share just a few pics from the last several months, here are a few of our faves...

I'm trying to share my love of the outdoors with
Taylor. This pic was taken in Joshua Tree National Park
about an hour drive from our house. It was a chilly day in February
when we went on this adventure with my very good friend
Jaana and her boyfriend who had come to visit

A precious pic of Taylor's first day in the snow.
We live about 2 hrs away from ski resort country so we drove up
the mountains for the day to Big Bear & let Taylor play in the snow.

This pic was taken while on a hike about a 15 min drive

from our house in an oasis in the desert

Taking a moment to reflect

Taylor is quite the precocious toddler. She became interested in potty training around 16months. One fall day around that time, John went out of town for the day to play golf. Taylor was just in one of those moods. She was getting into everything and was getting on my last nerve. She had gotten a jar of babyfood out of the pantry & thrown it on the floor, breaking it and leaving a puddle of pureed veggies on the floor. She refused to nap, and wanted my undivided attention. When John finally arrived home, I was a little frazzled and as I greeted him I told him: I haven't had a second to myself all day, I just want to go to the bathroom in peace. I opened the bathroom door and found this: "Pooh" in the potty! Gotta love toddlerhood!
