We've been here in Roswell since January 1998. We moved from Havant, near Portsmouth (in the U.K.) for James' work, and have no intention of going back!

James: I'm a computer programmer by day, and a car nut by night. Is that a weird combination? I may even finish the car I'm building one day, but I'm waiting for Jesse to be old enough to help me (that's my excuse). It's what you might call a "long term project". See more about it in our Cars section.

Tara keeps very busy looking after Maisy, Molly and Jesse. Her favorite pastime is currently making hats, scarves and other stuff with a sewing needle. She's been asking to turn the girls bedrooms into a fairy grotto too. I think she's in her "creative" period right now! You can see pictures of the Tara, the kids and house in our Photo Album.

Maisy Leigh is nearly 8 years old, and is loving her 2nd Grade year with Miss Schnoor. Since we moved across town last year she has been settling in to her new school nicely. As she says "My friends at school are really, really, really nice. I'm studying about Dinosaurs. I have a nice bus driver."

Molly Ann is 5. She's at Pre-school four days a week, but "big school" is coming soon! She spends the rest of her time following Mom around the shops, playgrounds and playing with Jesse. Jesse and Molly are very alike. Temper and all!

Jesse Taylor is the latest addition to the family, born August 3rd 1999. He's growing up to be a strapping lad and already has more hair than his old man. See him in Photos and his Special Care page too.
