Just before this video, I came around the corner after putting something away in our room and found Micah and Hallie wrestling with Twister, Micah seriously had him in a headlock and Hallie was grabbing his tail. I quickly grabbed the camera, but missed the headlock :( Thank goodness Twister is a tolerant cat! Hallie loves to chase him around and gets so excited when she sees him.
Speaking of chasing, they have been chasing each other around the house, giggling and squealing at each other- super cute! Not quite sure why that can't transfer to their cribs though?!? I've read in numerous places about twins/multiples "talking" to each other for long periods of time after waking from naps, sleep, etc. Pretty sure all mine do is grab the crib slats (with both hands), peer over the bumbers and scream at each other! It turns into cryfest 3000! Maybe some day (hopefully soon!) they can learn to talk nicely to each other! :)
My grandparents recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Can you believe that! 60 years! Nowdays, you don't hear of these things very often. My grandparents were truly best friends- they seemed to thrive off of serving each other. My grandma always had food prepared for my grandpa and grandpa was always willing to do whatever he could to provide for his family and make sure the house was in excellent working condition for my grandma. Simple things, but what a profound statement of love they make. My grandma said of my grandpa this last week, that he was always gentle with her and was always there to help her with any problem she had.
The Great Grandkids
