A Long, Full Absence

Well, it has been 11 months since I have posted here. 

Whoops. 

In typical Taylor fashion, we have filled those 11 months with . . . well . . .  ummm. . . . here is a quick overview. 

May 2014, Jay jumped on his motorcycle and drove the 8000 miles to Brazil with his dad to scatter his grandparents ashes. A simple sentence, but a crazy 5 weeks of adventures.

Little Man and I were on our own while they were gone, so we went on adventures of our own! Trips driving around the state and big trip to Nebraska to see family.


Once Jay made it back safely, we spent the summer enjoying where we live.


 A different beach every weekend. 

And a lot of visitors!

Fall meant a big birthday for Jay (30!!) and a big birthday for Little Man (2!!)

A new home, a new job for me, and a our first ER visit with Little Man (merry-go-rounds are dangerous and I hate concussions.)

Holidays meant travel and family.



And a long winter in northern Michigan spurred us to take a spontaneous trip to Florida. 



A while ago, Jay and I tried to come up with some numbers to calculate the past year. We came up with a list like this:
10,000 plane miles
8000 motorcycle miles
2000 driving miles
200 miles lakeshore running (1/2 marathon training)
100 boxes moved
20+ summer visitors
10 new beaches visited
2 new jobs
1 new house

And we are hoping to add another number to the list soon - One new kid!

We are adopting again and from all indications, it should happen soon. 

So welcome back to the land of the living, blog. Big changes are ahead, so we had better be ready to keep up.
