There were two family birthdays on Friday. Our eldest grandchild was thirty-one and our youngest was six.
Marnie was the first child of our eldest child, Gillian. She was twenty-five when Marnie was born. Marnie inherited the blonde hair and blue eyes of my husband’s family.
Jack is the second child of our youngest daughter, Bethan. She is blonde and brown-eyed and Jack has brown hair and dark brown eyes.
Marnie and Jack are outgoing and confident, with ready smiles and a pronounced sense of humour. Marnie was a chatterer as a small child and remains a ready conversationalist, but even she is outdone by Jack’s loquaciousness.
Each in their own ways had good days, Marnie in Dorset and Jack in London. There are two more family birthdays in November and one in December before Christmas, and another one four days after Christmas. Then it will be 2025!
At three Jack looks more grown up than Marnie aged three, who still had some baby in her features. I know a young Jack who is now six and a half and he is also a great talker.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren look very cooperative youngsters who are pleased to see you.
ReplyDeleteWhen my grandchildren got to their middle teens, they were mainly interested in learning to drive and travelling overseas.
Lovely children. I'm glad their birthdays were happy. That's quite a span in ages.
ReplyDeleteHow blessed you are to have these lovely grandchildren. Enjoy them.
