Part Six



They did it again. Hanson is number one. We're leaving next week to record the new cd. We'll be there until Thanksgiving and then we'll come home to celebrate. After that we'll go back until Christmas. After Christmas, if there's still more to do, we'll go back. I'm so happy for them. I still feel like it's my fault that they lost all their fans in the first place. Almost 4 lost years. Taylor is estatic. He can't believe this is happening. He's been talking with Ike and Zac and they've all agreed that they want Daisy to play the piano on one of their songs. She's so excited. Of course this will put our family back in the public eye. Taylor and I have agreed that they can photograph the two of us all they want to keep the girls out of the camera's lens as much as we can. I don't want my daughters being raised in a fishbowl.

We just finished unpacking. We rented a house about 3 miles from the studio. Zac and Ike are staying with us. Zac adores the thought of living with Ari. Those two took to each other immediatly. The guys decided on a song or Daisy. They're going to re-record With You In Your Dreams and let her play the intro. that was one of the first songs Taylor taught her. She's a natural at the piano. She's been playing since she was 3.

We took Arianna and Daisy to the zoo today. No sooner did we step out of the car did a flash go off. Taylor had been holding Daisy on his shoulders and I had Ari in my arms. I just hope the pictures don't end up in the tabeloids. I wish people would just realize that even celebraties deserve personal lives. The girls did looka absolutly adorible though. Daisy had on a white and pink sundress with a matching visor and pink sunglasses. Her hair was in two pigtails sticking out the top of her visor. Ari was wearing a lime green sundress and a big, floppy white hat, so luckilly the picture won't show her face. Taylor and I have talked it over and realized that Daisy has been in the pepers before. We decided that if someone took her picture that's okay, we'd still try to prevent it though. We don't want Arianna's picture taken though. She's just a baby and if the pictures fall into the wrong hands......I don't even want to think about what could happen.

The girls loved the zoo. Arianna squealed happily when she saw the polar bears. I've never seen a little girl so happy. Daisy as too funny. When we got to the monkeys she started laughing. "They look like you Uncle Zac!" She laughed. Zac picked her up and tickeled her until she appologized. We all got a good laugh out of that one! Isaac asked Zac if he planned on tickeling all of us if we kept laughing. Zac just laughed and told him not to bet on it.

The tabloids published the picture. YOu can only see Daisy's chin because of the shadow from her visor and you can't see Ari at all. She just looks like a little green blob.

Those people are out to ruin people. I remember when Taylor and I were 15 and the rumor about him and Aimee Osbourne started. Luckilly I didn't believe that. It could have ruined our relationship. Granted it was a secret relationship...but a relationship just the same.

I really should write down the days prior to Daisy sometime. So one day our little girls can read all about the legacy of their parents. I'll have to make sure I include pictures too. Everyone knows a picture is worth a thousand words.
