Wow! It's hard to believe that it's been over a month since our last post. It is amazing how the school routine just makes the time fly by. With the return of the rain, we've been reminded that things are moving fast and the summer is definitely over now.
Since our last post, Jacob was baptized and I am happy to say that Scott can no longer him a pagan baby. As you can see from the pictures, he was a very happy boy that day and wasn't bothered a bit by Deacon Pat pouring water on his head (although they do warm it). Our friends Steve and Julie honored us by being his godparents. There's a great pic of the three of them that follows.

Matthew is starting to like becoming a big brother. He loves trying to make Jacob laugh and Jacob watches his every move. It's amazing that the two of them are really starting to look alike. It's eery.

Matthew is loving school and making lots of friends. He is still working on building up his stamina since kindergarten is a full day, five days a week. His class went on their first field trip to the Children's Theater in Seattle to see Cat in the Hat. They are also planning a trip to the pumpkin patch this upcoming week. They have been studying about apples and pumpkins in school and loves to tell us all kinds of little facts about them.

Hockey season has also started for Matthew. He had a bit of a bumpy start since he wasn't able to get in much ice time this summer with the arrival of Jacob. But now he is really doing well. He's even scored a few goals. The coaches always speak so well of him and say he has an awesome attitude and doesn't quit. Despite being one of the smallest and youngest kids on the team, it really is amazing to see how far he has come in a few short weeks. Now I'm afraid to get on the ice with him because I know he'll be able to skate circles around me.
Well, that's all of the Taylor news for now. I'm sure there is more to tell, but I've got to catch some zzzz's. Jacob has decided to revert back to his newborn days and is awake every 1-3 hours at night. Makes for one very tired mommy and daddy.
Take care.
