Well let me introduce you to my beautiful grandchildren. Starting with first born to last. BRITT - not shy, never meets a stranger. If you don't know his name he will gladly introduce himself and spell it B R I T T. He knows all there is to know about dinosaurs and can spell it(Meme can't), he has skin like his Papa smooth and tan and beautiful hazel eyes. He gets so excited when he comes to see Meme and Papa that he just can't contain himself. He has the most energy I have ever seen. And when he has to leave and go back home he is so sweet that it makes you cry.
PAISLEY - the most beautiful blue eyes that sparkle and porcelain skin with light strawberry blond hair(I think). She is her daddy's child and is so much like him that it is scary. She is quiet and not really sure what she is thinking until "Britt" makes her mad, then she is like a tiger. She is a girly girl a little prissy thing. And we are so excited that she will soon be free from those diapers. She also is a good bed fellow, at least she was with me. She is not scared of anything I don't think and loves the water - the beach.
CELIE - where do I begin, everything that come out of her mouth is so sweet and FUNNY. You know she has made up herself a new voice, yep and she is so cute showing it to you. She just became a "Big Sister" and she and her Papa have fun with that. Her hair is as dark as her eyes and her little cute bob haircut is the cutest thing. She loves shoes and her toe-nails painted. Her skin also is like her Papa's smooth and tan. She has the sweetest little pigeon-toed walk I just love to watch her. She knows how to put some puppy-dogs in their place. She too likes the beach and the swimming pool the best. Maybe one day she will talk her Papa in getting one for everyone.
LIBBY - she was born July 31, 2010 the most beautiful little thing with sweet cheeks to kiss. She has really dark hair right now and not sure what color her eyes will be. I was hoping like her mother's beautiful blue eyes but we'll see. She looks like a little angel from heaven and makes all those little baby squeaks that sounds like little puppies. Her big sister Celie is so excited that she finally got here after so long. I know they will be best friends.
Well I hope I did not offend anyone, I didn't mean too. I could never really describe the love I have for all my little ones. But God gives you this heart that loves so much that you really could never describe it with all the words in the dictionary. I just want them to know that Meme and Papa love them all so much!!!!!

Some Memories of the White Family
Well, I know it has really been a long time since I have posted anything but so much has been going on. We have had a precious new addition to the "White Family" and her name is Libby Anne White. So adding her to the other "White" children 6 years and under would make her the 14th one all together grands 21 total for the Wayne and Geraldine White family of grands and great-grands. I will try and name them all starting with the grand children first, how ever I will probably misspell some of the names. Matthew, Adam, Brandy, Ashley, Andrew, Erin, Gavin, Ansley, Brenna,great-grands Celie,Libby,Britt, Paisley,Noah,Lilly,Elisa-Jo, Gabby,Jude, Carley,Haylee,Hannah. That is a mouth full to remember, some how I first got 22 so I hope I didn't leave anyone out. I love a large family and we have really got one and we are all, well just about all in the lower south except for Stephen and Dana.
Wouldn't it be great for us all to be together on Christmas this year???? And pray that it would snow, how much fun would that be????
I remember when Matthew and Adam were small and we all got together with out little families and then we only had maybe 10, and we always went on vacation with Guy and Becky. All the kids were so close and played well with each other,Brandy and Ashley were just like mine.
Matthew and Ashley were always together and Brandy and Adam. They were just alike, Matthew and Ashley scared of everything, would only ride "non-scary rides" but I just found out that Matthew was just being cautious. Brandy and Adam would do anything and not scared at all. I remember one time we went to some place maybe in Tenn. the highest point and you could walk it. Well it was like 1/2 mile straight up, I thought I was going to pass out as did Matthew and Ashley. Brandy and Adam ran all the way up and was coming back down. We had to rest at every bench there was for 10 mins.to get our breath.
We always had the best fun. I actually don't know if siblings go on trips together any more. It's kinda sad in a way what good memories we have. I remember also going to the beach house with 11-12 people staying in a 2 bedroom house with only 3 beds. We all slept on the floor, the couch and any place we could it didn't matter. We made great memories of us all being together and having fun.Papa would always cook breakfast and we had Nanny's pound cake then we would pack a lunch and go out on the boat scalloping and getting burned from all the sun reflecting off the water and white sand. We also had 3-wheelers that the kids would drive all over the place.
We never knew what time it was, it really didn't matter we were there to have a blast and be on vacation. We stayed up late and slept late as best we could. In the morning that big old ball of fire called the sun would wake you up rising in the East right over the bay. The most beautiful picture you could ever imagine. I guess the only thing I disliked over there were the BUGS, the gnats that would eat you alive at dusk. We build bonfires and went floundering at night, which we never caught one but it was so much fun and most of the time we had to try and beat the tide before it went out or our boat would be left way out, that was not fun.
We also had soooo much food, anything that you could think of to eat we had it. We caught our scallops an fixed them fresh they were great. We went and caught mullet, never caught any good fish. We saw stingrays, huge manarays and big sharks that we thought were after us some times LOL Oh and I forgot about the crabbing, that was a treat to catch those big blue crabs and cook them up.
So many years have passed by and the beach house just sits there with all those memories that I will NEVER forget. I don't think it will ever be the same anymore. Everyone has their own little families and live in different cities and states. Still it brings a tear to my eye when I remember back then and now how everyone has drifted off and apart, so much has changed. We never have time anymore for the best memory makers , our family. Everyone goes different ways and never enough time, shame shame on us all.
I would never have traded any of it because I have that special family memory that I hope I never forget. We all loved each other and laughed so hard!!!
We all need to try and do better, we only have in all reality a very short time on this earth so we need to make the very best of it as we can.
