Taylor and Shawn Carpenter

Will {Taylor} was kicking his feet while Austin pulled him around. Then he sent him swimming over to Sami.

Sami laid her head on Will {Taylor} and said "You don't need any more lessons I think you know everything about swimming. Thanks to Uncle Austin."

Ali was listening to Austin and Christie {Carrie} say their lines when Taylor just pulled himself up and gave Ali a spit kiss. It was so cute he just did it.

Ali just looked at him. Taylor smiled afterward. Ali was already holding his face when we saw him give her the kiss. I think he did it more then once but we only saw the one time.

Will {Taylor} and Sami watched Austin leave with Carrie. Carrie wanted to talk to Austin alone.

Sami was pulling Will around the pool when Will {Taylor} asked "Where's Austin?" Sami explained he went to go talk with Aunt Carrie.

When Austin returned, he got in the pool with Will and Sami went to go and talk with Carrie. She wanted to make sure that Carrie knew she lost Austin for good this time. Austin told Will {Taylor} that his life was with him now. They were going to be a family.

Taylor {shown here} and Shawn had a blast doing the swimming pool scenes. Shawn was a little bit more scared, holding on to Ali any chance he got. While Taylor was swimming like a fish by the end of the scenes.

Will started pre-school this year, since he will turn 4 years old on the 16th of November. Taylor {shown here} and Shawn also started pre-school. They turned four years old on the 6th of September. {9/16/99}

The teacher came over and said "I can see Will {Taylor} has two very loving parents. Sami wasn't too quick to correct her, but she did, telling her that Austin was Will's uncle and that Lucas had to work. That was a lie, Sami never told Lucas that Will was starting pre-school. {9/16/99}

Will {Taylor} shook hands with his teacher. {9/16/99}

Sami bent down and gave Will {Taylor} a hug and told him to have lots of fun and be good. {9/16/99}

Uncle Austin also told Will to have a good time. Austin was trying to get Taylor to smile, but Taylor was busy watching all the kids play. {9/16/99}

Will {Taylor} then turned and walked with his teacher. Will turned back and gave the cutest little wave to Austin and Sami. {9/16/99}

The next day before school Austin and Sami stopped in the park. Austin hired a photographer to come to the park and take some pictures of Will. Shawn was very happy taking pictures with Ali and Austin. Shawn is a little bit more shy than his brother Taylor, but no one would have known that from these scenes, where he was laughing and playing. He is starting to warm up. {9/17/99}

A few more pictures of what Sami considers her "Happy Family." Shawn as Will. {9/17/99}

Will sat and listened as Sami and Austin talked. Then Will pulled out a picture that he made at school. It was for his mommy. Check out Taylor's little tongue hanging out. {9/20/99}

Sami asked who was in the picture. Will pointed out Sami and then she asked why she had such a big smile. "Was it because Will had given her flowers?" Will said "It is because your getting married." {9/20/99}

Austin and Sami made a joke out of the comment, saying that Will {Taylor} was the groom at school while playing house. {9/20/99}

Then Austin picked him up and hugged him and asked what he liked best at school he said the big race cars. Austin then pulled out a race truck for Will {Taylor} to go play with. {9/20/99}

Carrie came into the park and watched from afar until Will went off to play. Then she came over to talk with Austin and Sami. Will came running up to Austin again. {9/20/99}

Austin picked him up and then told Carrie that they had a date with Captain P. Will then said "People, Puppy." Taylor really talked a lot during these scenes. The boys have grown up a lot since last year. {9/20/99}
