The Taylor-Kinney clan never has a dull moment. They have a new place to live and some new friends to explore life with. Follow their adventures, the ups and downs, the dangers and the pleasures, and see their love grow the land and each other.

It was time to leave Hawkin's Island. Terry and Brian had business opportunities in Colorado and Griff and Justin agreed it would be a good move for their careers as well. They all agreed that it would be a good move for their children as well. There was a better school system there and more opportunities for them to explore more of what the world had to offer.  

The children adapted quickly from island life to the Spirit Pass Ranch. They enjoyed the nature around them and the wide open space. Being able to have horses and a variety of mini animals just enriched everyone's lives. 

Shortly after arriving, Justin was selected to create a major commission for the Colorado Natural History Museum. Along with Griff, and later a new friend, they create a masterpiece. 

This family always works hard but loves harder.

Brian, Justin, and their family returned to Pittsburgh and, after getting the house and businesses in order they boarded a plane, along with Rachel and Sonya, to spend two months in Ireland. While Justin spends time on his art, Brian is going to dig into his Irish ancestry. The mythical beauty of the country has drawn everyone in.     

Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor had been married for two years. They lived in Britin with six year old Gus, eighteen month old Aaron, and six month old Jessi. Extended friends and family lived with them, helping with the children and the compound. Gus' mother had just returned to the states and was rebuilding her relationships after a year's absence.  

Their friends, James and Emmett, lived in another house on the property. James was in charge of security and managed the property. James' mother, Ronni and her husband, Dante, lived on the third house on their property. Ronni managed the house staff, but in the next six weeks she would be giving birth to her first grandchild for James and Emmett. She hadn't realized how much harder it would be to have a child at her age, but it would be worth it when she held her son's baby in her arms.

Brian's father, Kevin, would be moving out very soon. He was moving into Brian's childhood home. He also was going to open a new shelter. With Brian's help, Kevin, along with friends, were opening Legacy Center. It would be an escape for teens that had been thrown out or mistreated because of their sexuality. Kevin had run a similar place in Atlanta but he left that in the care of friends. Tom and Natalia, as well as his ‘adopted' daughters, Brandy and Sally, would do a good job keeping the place running smoothly. Brandy and Sally were also about to be parents so the family was growing.

Life at Britin was full of life and love. And although they may face the ups and downs of life, together this tribe can make it through anything.
