Kay Taylor Sighted at Marine Corps Marathon

Sunday morning was chilly and sunny, a perfect day for the Marine Corps Marathon. Kay Taylor headed out early to support the 25,000 runners. Perched on her co-agent's back, she enthusiastically clapped for the participants - especially Teddy Roosevelt from the Washington Nationals. The morning also included a trip to the new Palisades Farmers' Market and Starbucks before heading home.

After a fun afternoon of watching the Redskins beat the Detroit Lions, Kay Taylor prepared for her dinner guest - Brendan O'Leary. She was very excited to see him but did miss Madeline, Jake and Trystan.

It's good to see our little star feeling better and getting back into the social scene.

Sunday in the Park with Phoebe Jane

The Bean Patch sends a special thank you to our loyal readers for their well wishes. Over the past week, Kay Taylor has been recovering from a serious bout of Norovirus. The virus was so severe that she spent five days in the hospital. Thanks to Children's Hospital, an excellent uncle (he's also a top-notch pediatrician), lots of rest, and many IVs, our little star is shining again.

Rather than release photos of the star during her recovery, she requested we share a photo taken before the illness. A few weeks ago, Kay Taylor spent a beautiful Sunday evening with her Grandmama Winthrop at the dog park. She loved her new carrier and especially loved spending some quality time with her grandmother. It looks like this could become a regular outing for the two.
