Taillefer Family

Ella, Alex, Cathy, and Martin's place

About Us

Our little family currently lives in Redmond, Washington, about 30 minutes from Seattle. It's a nice place with a lot of trees and a lot of wildlife. We've been here since fall of 2005. Martin works at nearby Microsoft, while Cathy is busy wrestling with two kids. Ella enjoys preschool, and Alex is just starting out, so he mostly lays there and smiles. -- November 2006

 

Our family now lives in Sammamish, Washington, still about half an hour from Seattle. The house is hidden behind trees and private roads, but is majestic upon the hill it rests on. Martin now works at Google, and Cathy still wrangles the kids. Ella is ending seventh grade, and Alex third.--
