Thankful for these two rascals

This is my favorite picture several years ago when Handsome Hudson and Beautiful Beckett were sitting on their front porch of their home. They moved last year and have taken up sitting on their new front porch, still enjoying after dinner treats. They love Popsicles especially after dinner sitting with their mom and dad!

These two bring such life into our family. Their enthusiasm and zest for life is contagious! Our other grandchildren are older and with these two rascals everyone is reminded of a different time when they were all growing up. They bring a smile to every ones faces and a tug at our hearts as they explore living in today's world.  

They call their family "Team Dunham" and its so appropriate! My son and his wife are both active parents, athletes - running and exercising is what they do, its part of their life and I think part of their DNA. It's only natural these two kiddos are already running in the Marathon Kids Program.

No grass grows under these two as they are constantly on the move. Hudson graduated from Montessori school and is now in kindergarten in the public schools. Beckett will be graduating this summer from Montessori and off to school with big brother next year.

What a difference three years make! I'm amazed at how quickly these two are growing. I'm so thankful they live in Austin and are part of our lives. Sometimes its like deja vu from when the older grand-kids were little. Each one has their own sparkle and personality which we love!

Dorie, they just keep getting cuter!  A dear friend of mine said that grandchildren are God's reward to parents for not murdering their children when they were teen-agers!

Such cute grandbabies!! I'm glad you shared a current photo of them because they are just as adorable now as they were then. Kids grow up so fast. I'm happy they live in Austin and you can enjoy watching them grow up.

OMG, I love these two too and can't believe how quickly they are growing up, Dorie! How wonderful for Beckett to have a big brother ahead of her in elementary school. What I love about those two is that they just adore each other - they seem to be absolute best friends - just so very heartwarming!
