"From a Kids Eye View"


What a trip! I'm so happy to have come with my parents on this adventure. God has opened my eyes to all I have at home. I'm very thankful to have all that I do. This is a trip of a lifetime!
We do the same thing every day: Eat, go see the kids, eat, see the kids, eat, go home and watch a movie and go to bed. The highlight of the day is seeing the kids and all that they discover. I still can't believe how smart Macey, I mean Natalia, is. She discovers so much in one day. Marcus (Timur) is a cutie pie. He laughs at all most everything and is very tickelish.
It's great to know we have so many friends and family watching and reading about us. You all will just love the kids and our stories. Keep the comments coming!

Cousins: Payton, Rylee and Lily - Thanks for watching our blog. I can't wait until our next family get together. Your going to love these guys!

Besties: Blake and Hannah - I wish I were home with you guys on Spring Break this week. I miss you guys already! I can't wait for you to meet Macey and Marcus.
Malone Nine + Dickinson Six = Our own party of 15!
How many seats does your van have? LOL

Love,
Taylor

hi family,
i am at jennifers house as my blog does not appear to be responding. i have had two passwrods and it will accept, oops. typos nothing. i am thinking of you a;ways more so as i have been there. i understand what it is like. one never forgets. i loved the blog from taylor and all of the beautiful pictures. they are darling and of course i love them already. how can you not. i took care of children at childrens with like things,but mostly post surgery. they were darlings and so good. took tylenol and that was it. smiled,sat up in bed. very precious and loving. we always loved taking care of them. i loved the outside pictures they are so darling. i will be anxious to see them when your time allows. they have to ease in little by little i would think. i am glad you all have had this experience. talk about bonding. wow and this was destined i think. nothing happens by happinstance. god is always in control although we do not see the full picture as he does. what a true miracle for these darlings. i love you all,pray for you every day.
i start physical therapy again due to balance but every day gets better. i will be on cortisone for a year. whatever works but it plays havoc with the diabetes. cannot be helped. i am grateful that i have the doc that i do.
tody i took rylee to soccer and then to the st. patricks day parade downtown and lily was in it for girl scouts. brett met up with me and the day turned out to be gloriously beautiful and sunny although it turned out cold and rainy this morning. we actually had a little snow two days ago/ i love you all.nana

Hi Taylor,

It is so cool to hear things from your perspective and I can tell that you really love your new brother and sister very much. You are a very special young lady and I know that God has great things in store for you. I can't wait for you guys to get back. It seems like it has been so long already. I am glad to see that you are getting some decent weather to go outside. It has been cold here the past couple of days but is supposed to warm up again tomorrow. Sunshine makes everything better!! Give your mom a big hug for me and take care enjoy this time you all have together. Denise

Taylor... FIFTEEN??? So much for impromptu, "Hey, why don't ya'll come over for a bite to eat after church..." We have 12 seats. That would be 5 carseats and 10 big people. We may need an extension. Or maybe ya'll could get a school bus??? :-) Thanks for posting!

Tara and Family said...

Hi Miss Taylor. It's good to see a post from you, what a nice surprise. I'm so glad that you and Tanner were able to take this journey along with your parents as a family, GOD IS GOOD! Sounds like everyone is bonding well as Timur and Macey are fitting in fine as Dickinson's. I think of each of you everyday, a lot during the day actually. I wait for your mom to post and cannot wait to show Lily when we get home at night. Lily will be gone over Spring Break, Girl Scout camp, she can hardly wait. I can't wait for you guys to hurry and get home, we can't wait to meet Timur and Macey, they seem so precious. Well, you all are probably getting ready to eat some breakfast and head out to your court appt.. We are praying that all goes well, please keep us posted. LOVE TO ALL, Aunt Tara, Uncle Brett, Lily and Luke
