Itty Bitty Bananas!

Stephen went to Whole Foods for his weekly grocery shopping adventure and came home with these "itty bitty" bananas for Dillan! At most, they are two and one half inches long :>)


They are so adorable, you could just eat them right up! I guess that's what we'll do?

Dillan's New Red Scooter Bike

Gotta LOVE Pottery Barn for kids when you are looking for that special something for THE MOST ADVANCED CHILD ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!

First Presbyterian Circle Four

When Grandma Taylor passed away I joined the Circle she belonged to for the years she lived here in Tulsa! Yesterday I hosted the ladies .... we meet on the last Thursday of the month @ someone's home! We are currently studying JOSHUA A Journey Of Faith! One of these sweet little old ladies turns 95 on March 11th! Each month we collect things for various charities, whether it's coats & blankets for the homeless, used eyeglasses for the poor in our Mexico mission ...this month we are needing things for unfortunate little ones (babies through pre-school) The children that are picked up by Children's Protective Services!


Circles: Presbyterian Women offer you the opportunity to get acquainted in small groups called "Circles." Ten Circles meet monthly (September-May) at various times and locations for Bible study, mission study and fellowship. There are coffee circles, luncheon circles and night circles, some meeting at the church and some in members' homes

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

NOT SUBJECT TO ANY CONDITIONS!
Unconditional Love

I have two beautiful daughters,
they are kind, sweet and generous...
especially to me...

Over the years, loved ones have taught them to be nice, kind and respect others...
but there is one thing they have taught me
and that was unconditional love...
something I knew nothing of ...
believe me...
they taught me how to laugh, cry, hug...
right from the start...
it's called love from the Heavens above not a wish on a star...
I've been blessed to say..
I thank God each and every day...
to have two beautiful daughters...
my unconditional love...
Megan and Kim Taylor...and let's include Dillan....I love them all unconditionally!

Abuelo & Dillan

What a fabulous Tuesday! We picked up Beau & Dillan and went to Ron's Hamburgers! Dillan looked adorable as usual ... and literally said "Hi" to everyone in the restaurant! She's very outgoing like her Mama & Daddy, following in their footsteps, for sure! Every time we go out with Kim & Beau we witness millions of people that know them and happily greet them with high fives & hugs!
We have had the upmost pleasure of "hanging out" with Dillan most every week day! When she's not around we actually get lonely for Dillan!


After lunch Beau had some business & errands.... we delightfully brought Dillan home with us.....Abuelo had to leave to get his hair cut and this picture was taken when he returned! Nice hair cut handsome man!
If you have a chance to be around a baby, take it with glad heart .... they renew your spirit and your love of life!

Dillan's Some Day Birthday Party.....

Maybe for her 2nd or 3rd or 4th ...... but my dream is to have Shetland Pony rides for Dillan and her friends on her birthday! In our backyard! I love my dream!
Giddy Up Giddy Up, My Pony Girl!

Scotty Dogs Tea Set

We are so looking forward to sipping "make believe" tea with Dillan!


My darling niece Deanne saw this tea set @ Target the other day and said, "I can see you and Dillan having tea parties"!!! So when she and my darling nephew Nathan and my darling great niece Ella came last weekend to visit the zoo....they stopped by with this most darling Scotty Dog tea set! Thank you sooooo much! We loved seeing you!
P.S. Darling Ella is just two years older than Dillan and I sincerely hope they'll have a tea party someday soon!

Al Capone In Hot Springs!

This famous gangster liked to hang out in Hot Springs, Arkansas back in the day! We encountered his famous "gangster car" in the lobby of the old Arlington Hotel this past weekend! This grand hotel was built in 1925, one year before our home was built! The hot mineral water was pumped directly into our room on the third floor.... we really enjoyed the Hot Springs!


Stephen and I dashed off in our little Mini Cooper on Valentine's Day and drove to Hot Springs.....through the Ozark Mountains during a lovely snow fall.....winding roads with delicate snowflakes swirling around like cupid arrows!


We were there for the President's Day horse racing @ Oak Lawn Park! Which, much to our dismay ..... they were canceled after the 4th race because of very cold weather! But, as you know ....Stephen and I are such very "happy campers" so the fun continued until the very moment we arrived back home! And them some!


Coming home was fun because we had the sweet anticipation of getting to have a sleep over with Dillan while Beau and Kim celebrated Fat Tuesday with friends!


We didn't get to the Gangster museum but hey, thanks to this sign .... we know there is one!
We came back with $28.00 less than what we took .... which says alot about Stephen's exceptional horse track betting skills! Way to pick the ponies Stephen!

Heading Into Arkansas.....Some People Dream Of Catfish!

Yes, I am not sure why? But Stephen (like his dear Mom) LOVES FRESH FRIED CATFISH! I was happy to accommodate & yes for the young and reckless.... frog legs were on the menu!!! We we were heading into Arkansas for an adventure!
CATFISH!!!! Yum! I had fried shrimp! Born in 1954.... I can remember that this was my first seafood ever?

Abuelo and Tay love you Dillan!

Abuelo Goes To Abuelo's!
