Blog Day # 144 in a day of my life. FAMILY: PART 2!

     As I have said before, we are a close knit family. Tammy and Marcus and the twins, live only one mile from us. Sometimes we walk over to their house and it is not uncommon for Tammy to show up with the twins in the stroller after jogging over from her home.

     That is one of the reasons we like living where we do. We have so much to do here, yet it also is so quiet. But today, I will write about them. As I did before on Mike and Debby and the girls, I thought I would share some moments in time.




EVERYWHERE ONE GOES- THE OTHER FOLLOWS! I MUST ADMIT- I AM MELTING WHEN THE CAST THOSE LOOKS MY WAY!


We see them 2 or 3 times a week- not long times- maybe a 1/2 hour here or there.
As soon as them come in, they head for the toys or their own cupboard, where we have kept the cups, bowls and plates for all the grandchildren as they grew up. Everyone of them knows that cupboard and now the twins have inherited it!


CASSIDY- SHE OF THE MIND OF HER OWN-SHE THE ONE WHO GIVES YOU THAT LOOK AND SMILE- AND YOU JUST LAUGH.




SHE GETS INTO EVERYTHING- NO FEAR- AND CLIMBS AND RUNS. SWING THOSE ARMS CASSIDY AND SHE DOES- LIKE SHE IS RUNNING A 5 K!

HERE SHE HAS HER MOTHERS BOOTS ON- WRONG FEET OF COURSE - AND SMILING LIKE SHE HAS PULLED ONE OVER ON HER MOTHER!

SHE IS THE ONE TO BE THE FIRST AT EVERYTHING-EVEN DRIVING DADDY'S CAR!




AND TAYLOR IS NOT FAR BEHIND-MARCUS- IN ANOTHER 15 YEARS- YOU ARE GONING TO BE SWEATING!



CASSIDY LOVES ANIMALS- SHE HAS NO FEAR- EXCEPT WHEN THEY SCARE HER- AND THEN SHE CLINGS TO GRANDMA!






CASSIDY FEEDING- SHE LOVES ANIMALS- IS STRONG WILLED- AND HAS A KNACK OF LOOKING AT YOU AND THEN YOU SAY- WHAT THE HECK! LOL LOL



TAYLOR IS NOT SO SURE- SEE THE HAND HOLDING HER ARM TO RE ASSURE HER THAT IT IS OKAY!




TAYLOR- THE BLOND HAIR AND BLUE EYES- SHE WILL BREAK MANY A MANS HEART- SHE IS SO CUTE. SHE IS HAPPY AND IF YOU TELL HER TO DO SOMETHING- SHE DOES IT. WHEN CASSIDY GETS INTO TROUBLE AND GOES TO TIME OUT- HERE COMES TAYLOR WHO WILL SIT DOWN BESIDE HER, AND SHARE HER TIME OUT WITH HER!   




SHE LIKES TO BE CARRIED AND WILL CLIMB UP INTO MY LAP AND JUST SIT THERE PLAYING. SHE BREAKS MY HEART!

TAYLOR AS THE GHOST!  SHE IS SO FUNNY- SHE SMILES AND IT MAKES YOU SMILE!



TAYLOR IS OUR LITTLE SINGER- SHE SINGS AND THEN SHE DANCES. SHE IS SUCH A SWEETIE- ALWAYS SMILING!

THEY LOVE THEIR GRANDMA- THEY CLING TO HER AND FOLLOW HER EVERYWHERE!




THEY DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER-I HOPE THAT BOND FOLLOWS THEM THROUGH LIFE.



TAYLOR IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE ONE TO GET TO HER SEAT TO EAT! THEY DO NOT SNACK MUCH- WHEN THEY DO- IT IS HEALTHY SNACKS- THEY LOVE THEIR JUICE PLUS GUMMIES- AND THEY WILL GO TO THE CUPBOARD AND SAY"JUICE!".





THEY BOTH ARE REALLY GOOD EATERS. EACH HAS THEIR OWN FAVORITES.



CASSIDY WILL MIMIC MOMMA, AS TAMMY DID THIS WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER.



AS I SAID BEFORE- THEY ARE TOGETHER ALL THE TIME-SHARING EVERYTHING!

TAYLOR HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HAIR- WHEN HER NAD SHERRY ARE TOGETHER WITH BOTH THEIR HAIRS LIKE THIS, IT IS SO ADORABLE.






SO AS I COME TO AN END- YOU CAN SEE WHY WE CHOOSE TO REMAIN HER- AND NOT MOVE AWAY FOR RETIREMENT- BOTH FAMILIES ARE HERE- ALL FIVE GRANDAUGHTERS ARE HERE, AND THEY ARE JUST BEGINNING THEIR SPORTS.




WE CAN NOT LEAVE THEM- AT LEAST FOR NOW. WE WANT TO SHARE THEIR LIVES, AFTER ALL , THATS WHAT GRAND PARENTS ARE FOR.



YOU RAISE YOUR CHILDREN AND THEN YOU MARVEL AT THE NEXT GENERATION.



YOU WANT TO BE THERE TO LIVE THEIR LIVES WITH THEM.



THEY ARE MOMENTS IN TIME THAT YOU HOPE WILL NOT CHANGE- BUT CHANGE HAPPENS AND YOU WANT TO BE PART OF IT- YOU WANT THEM TO REMEMBER YOU AND FEEL THAT THEY CAN DEPEND ON YOU. THEY ARE YOUR GRAND KIDS- LIFE ONLY HAPPENS ONCE, AND YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST.


KEEP THESE MEMORIES ALIVE- THAT IS WHY I WRITE THIS BLOG. THERE IS A PICTORAL HERE, A WAY FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME BACK AND VIEW.
 

IT IS AS MUCH FOR US AS IT IS FOR THEM. FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND!


                        CASSIDY AND TAYLOR  2012

SARAH-MADISON-TATLOR-ELLA AND CASSIDY- THE FIVE REASONS- FOR OUR HOME IN BRAMBLETON VA.





THE PARENTS OF THE TWINS-OUR TAMMY AND MARCUS- CHEERS!




SO, IT IS HERE WHERE I WILL END- THE REST OF THE FAMILY- THE CLOSE KNIT FAMILY- SHERRY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS- RAISE UP A CHILD IN THE EYE OF THE PARENT-SHOW RESPECT-LOVE AND COMPASSION-TOGETHERNESS- JUST LIKE THEY DID CROSSING THE FINISH LINE HAND IN HAND AT THE 10 MILE CHERRY BLOSSOM RACE!
