Gemma and I had the surprise arrival of our daughter Gianna Christie Taylor
on Thursday, February 5th (5 weeks earlier than her due date). She was born
weighing 5 lbs 4 oz, and measured 18 inches in length. Gianna is healthy and
keeping us busy. Thank you to everyone for your support, generosity and
love. We feel so fortunate to have such a nurturing community of family and
friends to help us raise our daughter.
Kathryn Riley Taylor “Kate” was born Wed Jan 21st at 10:54am. She is 6lbs 15oz and 20 1/2in tall. Everything went really smooth, the staff at Rose Medical Center in Denver has been amazing and all of our friends and family have been dropping in to say hello. Thanks to Sandy and Susanna for traveling out here and coaching Winnie on how to behave around Kate.
Congrats to Mark on participating in the Mustache4Cash fundraiser.
From Mark: “I wanted to thank all of you for supporting the Mustache4Cash fundraiser. M4C raised over $81,000! These funds will greatly support The Byrne Urban Scholars, Colorado Youth at Risk, and Escuela de Guadalupe and provide many scholarships for Denver youth.”
It’s official, Jon and Marie are now “The Schnell’s”! We had an incredible weekend at Devil’s Thumb Ranch near Winter Park, CO. It was great seeing old friends, hitting the spa and watching all the kids go for sleigh rides around the 5,000 acres of white snowy ranch land. View Wedding Photos Slideshow
Mark put together the world premiere of “Don’t Slam the Door”, a song Jon wrote about his experiences at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Jon and Marie have visited Telluride many times and it’s a special place for them (and us too)…
Denver had the biggest temperature swing in the US yesterday dropping almost 40 degrees. Here’s a quick video of how our Siamese cat Tyler and Sarah handled the situation.
