Meanwhile at the Other Taylor Home.... (Photostory)

Danielle and the kids have returned home after a fun filled day with the neighbors.  Rod and Freeman are still out fishing.

Danielle has fallen asleep on the sofa.  The boys are upstairs taking a nap.  They were exhausted after running around all day.
*BRRRRIIINNGGG,  BRRRIINNGGG* 

"Oh goodness, I must have fallen asleep."

She can see from the caller id that it's Rod.
"Hello honey.  How are you guys making out?"  (Danielle)
(pause)

"That's great.  So you're on your way home?"  (Danielle)
(pause)

"We're fine.  (pause)  No. The boys are sleeping."  (Danielle)
(pause)

"Okay.  I love you.  I'll see you when you get here.  (pause)  Be careful."  (Danielle)

Danielle takes a nice long stretch before heading to the kitchen to do the dishes.  She figures she has about an hour and a half before Rod gets home.  This leaves enough time to do a few things upstairs and get dinner started.

She needs to do a couple loads of laundry, but decides to save that until tomorrow.

She wanted me to show you her laundry area just off the kitchen. 

With the dishes done, she decides to quickly check on the boys.

They are still fast asleep.  All that running around really tuckered them out.

"Awwww, look at them."  (Danielle)
Danielle contemplates waking them up.  Too much sleep and they won't be able to get to sleep later.  She decides to go start dinner first.  Waking up Jacob could lead to a cranky toddler and this in turn could make dinner preparations a little more challenging.   She first heads to her bedroom to straighten up a bit and then back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

She decides on fresh fish for her and Rod, and hot dogs for the boys.  They don't get hot dogs often, so they will consider this a treat.

She is preparing fish that Rod caught the last time he went fishing.  

She hears keys in the door.

"Honey, you're home.  That was fast."  (Danielle)

"I guess I was anxious to get back home."  (Rod)

"So how was the trip?"  (Danielle)
"It was really good.  Dad and I were able to clear the air.  I think we are going to be okay."  (Rod)

"That's wonderful.  I know how much that was bothering you."  (Danielle)
"I missed you today."  (Rod)
"I missed you, too."  (Danielle)

After a sweet hello kiss, Danielle heads back to the kitchen.

"Ah, you're cooking the fish I caught."  (Rod)
"Speaking of fish, where is your fish from today?"  (Danielle)

"I let my dad have it all.  We still have quite a bit here."  (Rod)
"Ah, that was nice of you."  (Danielle)
"He was happy. Well, I'm going to go take a shower."  (Rod)
"Ok.  Dinner will be ready soon." (Danielle)

Rod steals another kiss before he leaves.

Danielle watches as leaves.

"You sure you don't want to join me?"  (Rod)
"I would love to, but there are going to be two hungry little boys looking for some food soon."  (Danielle)
"Ok, but you don't know what you are missing."  (Rod)

    1. Alura - Their home is coming along. They installed a new kitchen floor and the laundry room. That's Rod's cabinet in the corner. He didn't bring a lot of stuff to the house. Next they have to work on Nicole's room.

  4. I was missing this couple, they are just lovely! Despite my "admiration" for Darius, Rod and Danielle's stories are usually my favourite. The laundry corner is great, much better than mine, to be honest...

  12. Awww that was good. Loved all the scenes. She looked so adoringly in on the kids. Girl when Christopher was Jacobs age when I wanted him to wake up I would just stop tip toeing around. I would start vacuuming, playing music etc. He was much better if he woke up on his own than if I tried to get him up. Lesson learned. Danielle and Rod are so cute together.

    1. Kenya - You know Christopher was cursing you out in his head. ROFL! Rod and Danielle are still in that honeymoon stage. I hope they can keep it going. I don't want to be doing a post called, "The Honeymoon Is Over."

  13. Oohh, how sweet - I hope they can keep this going after the honeymoon is over too. The boys look very cute, asleep like that. And that's a very nice laundry, no wonder Danielle wanted us to see it.

  14. I'm so glad Freeman and Rod are working things out. I think family relationships are so important. Making up is the best way to avoid living with regrets.

    The boys room looks great and I love the laundry area!
