The CW Previews the New 90210

On Tuesday, 90210, the most eagerly anticipated series of the fall, will premiere in the 8:00-9:00 p.m. timeslot. A fresh interpretation of the iconic 1990's drama "Beverly Hills, 90210," this spin-off features a dynamic cast of up-and-coming stars, familiar faces such as Lori Loughlin ("Summerland") and Jessica Walter ("Arrested Development"), and guest star Jennie Garth, who will reprise her role from the original series. 90210 promises to deliver all the drama and excitement of the original series. In the 9:00-10:00 p.m. timeslot, the new series SURVIVING THE FILTHY RICH brings a distinctively witty note to the Tuesday lineup. Based on the best-selling book "How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls" by Zoe Dean, SURVIVING THE FILTHY RICH stars JoAnna Garcia ("Reba") as the live-in tutor to wild and wealthy teenage twin sisters in fabulous Palm Beach. SURVIVING THE FILTHY RICH makes the perfect companion piece for 90210.

I CANT WAIT!!!!ANY OTHER 90210 FANS OUT THERE????

So Very Sad!!! Please Say A Prayer For This Amazing Family!!!

Steven Curtis Chapman’s youngest child died Wednesday evening after being struck by a car driven by her teenage brother in the driveway of the family’s Williamson County home.

Maria, one of the Christian singer’s six children, was taken by LifeFlight to Vanderbilt Hospital, which confirmed the death, according to Laura McPherson, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

The 5-year-old was hit by an SUV driven by her teenage brother, she said. Police did not give the driver’s name.

The teen was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser down the driveway of the rural home at about 5:30 p.m. and several children were playing in the area, McPherson said. He did not see Maria in the driveway before the vehicle struck her, she said.

“It appears to be a terrible accident,’’ McPherson said.

No charges are expected, she said. The accident was witnessed by two other children; the entire family was home at the time, McPherson said.

Singer/songwriter Chapman, who recently was inducted into Music City Walk of Fame, is one of contemporary Christian music’s most recognizable and most awarded names.

He and his wife Mary Beth have long been supporters of international adoption, having brought three girls from China into their family. Maria was the youngest.
The couple is so active in the cause that they formed an organization, Shaohannah’s Hope, to aid families wanting to adopt.

With his latest music tour, which came through Nashville in November, Chapman started a campaign called “Change for Orphans”. He asked audience members at each stop to bring spare change to the concert, where it was counted and given to a local family to aid in their adoption process.

“I don’t know of anybody who loves his children more than he does and is so committed to the adoption concept, and to lose one, no matter what the circumstances, is heartbreaking beyond all comprehension,” said John Styll, president of the Nashville-based Gospel Music Association.

“He talks about his kids all the time. That’s his life. His kids are more important to him than music, that’s for sure.”

The tragedy was announced during Wednesday-night services at Harpeth Hills Church of Christ, which the family attends. Maria had just graduated from the church preschool.

And word spread throughout the tight-knit Christian music community on Wednesday evening.

Styll got the news not long after Maria’s death.

“I’m confident I can speak for everyone in the community to say we will do everything we can to support this family, as we would do at any time, but especially at a time like this,” he said.

Most of the Chapman family was at Vanderbilt children’s hospital after the accident and could not be contacted. The long, gravel driveway leading to the home west of Franklin was blocked off by Williamson County sheriff’s deputies.


This is so sad! I Couldn't help but think what
a HUGE IMPACT THIS AMAZING FAMILY HAS HAD IN
OUR COMMUNITY!! WHEN ALLIE GETS UP FROM HER
NAP, I GOING TO SQUEEZE & GIVE HER LOTS OF
EXTRA KISSES TODAY!! I JUST CAN EVEN IMAGINE!!!

HUGS,

From Kansas With Love!!!


Sindy,
I wasn't sure if this was your email account. I wanted to share a website with you that had a painting on it that a young girl painted at the age of 12. This girl began painting at the age of 9 and paints beautiful images that she sees in her mind, they are simply amazing! The one that captured my attention was of an Asian girl, it is entitled HOPE and is describing that the girl was abandoned and left in the darkness but found God and happiness. It shows her sitting under a cherry blossom tree. As soon as I saw it I thought of little Allison and the blessing that she is. Please let me know if you get this email. Love, Abby

I was so happy to recieve this email. The picture is AMAZING
AND SO IS THIS THE ARTIST!!!!www.artakiane.com/akiane_art.htm

Have a wonderful night!!!

How does it work? Here are the rules:

For Mother's Day Kelly got me a blog makeover. My online buddy Kim told me about a friend of hers that does a lot of great graphics including blog makeovers. So I contacted Diana at Custom Blog Designs and she made this fantastic new design for the blog. I love the colors and how it captures my girls! Not only does Diana do quick work, her prices are very reasonable! Diana's daughter Dori is also from China!

Check out my Slide Show!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!!!

Well it's about 12:30am and I couldn't sleep so
I thought I would get started on this blog entry
since it will be a long one!!! Kelly and I took
the girls ( Meaning our Dog Sassie too) to the
midwest!! We just had such an amazing time.
Kelly's family had stuff planned for us everyday
But the main reason for our trip back there was to
have our Daughter Allison Baptized!!! The Baptism
turned out in true Allison Taylor Jun fashion!!!
She pretty much Baptized herself. Then she grabbed
the mike from Minister Tessa and began to speak to
the congregation!!! They are still talking about it
my MIL said tonight. We took Allison and Sassie to
the lake, the girls had a blast. We had dinner out
with family just about everynight. It was great
for Allison to meet her Daddy's family. THEY ARE
SUCH AMAZING, HUMBLE PEOPLE!!! Allison was a true
celebrity in the small town where Kelly's family is
from! Allison is now up to the letter D in the alphabet
we are working with her on that!!! She is repeating more
everyday!!! We think it will be anytime now that she will
be able to really talk.

I have to say it was a very proud moment for Kelly and I
to see our Daughter be Baptized!!!


Mother's Day we traveled home to AZ. It didn't matter
where I spent it as long as I have MY FAMILY WITH ME!!!
I recieved some beautiful gifts from family and friend's
I will post some pics to document these special occasions!!!

TO ALL MY BLOG FRIENDS, I HOPE YOU HAD A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER'S DAY!!
WE ARE ALL SO BLESSED TO HAVE CONNECTED WITH ONE ANOTHER THROUGH
OUR AMAZING ADOPTION JOURNEY'S AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING MANY
MORE MOTHER'S DAYS ONLINE WITH YOU!!!
