Falling In LOVE

Some folks ask, "how will I know I am in LOVE?"
I am in LOVE and I can't do a thing about it.
LOVE is such an easy emotion when its pure, and true.
We have all fall in LOVE over our little man Taylor.
What a sweet blessing to our family, all I can do is cuddle and kiss him.
When I get a chance I will post more, but for now a few pictures for you all.

Taylor Cougar McManus


Our little boy finally came. His full name is Taylor Cougar McManus. Little Taylor was born May 5, 2009 at 8:01am and weighed 8.01 lbs and his family is from the 801. Taylor was 5 days early. This is the first time Raquel has gone into labor on her own. If you already havn't noticed the time he was born and how much he weighs are the same. Our old area code was also 801. The kids are in love with the new baby. Finley is so excited to be a new big sister. Mave says he loves the baby more then anyone. Kennedy loves him. Maddie can't get enough of him. The docters checked to see if he had a cleff palte and its a no.

Move over Beethoven....

* pause music on side bar to hear maddie play.
Tonight we attended Madalyns piano recital.

We sat there waiting for her turn to preform, and I thought how far we all have come.

Madalyn started piano lessons approximately 5 1/2 years ago. Starting with Keriann Barlow a friend from Medical school and at that time we were a family of 4.

Now as we wait we are chasing Finley around the studio, and Maverick is yelling out "Don't forget Maddie" which gets a chuckle out of the audience.

Now Maddie has burned thru 3 different instructors each encouraging her to continue on.

We have been to many recitals and listened to many piano practices, and she is

becoming quite the talented pianist. It has been fun to hear her progress from

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to more advanced pieces that I won't attempt to spell the names.
