As the cousins in Rowlett call us "those Eldridge's"! I'm very proud of this group of people. We are not perfect by any means, but boy do we LOVE each other! My dear friend, April Graves, took this family picture late last year. It's embarassing to admit, but the last time we had family pictures made was when Taylor was 1 year old. YIKES! She's 16 now and Brooklyn is 11, and you can wander how young the parents are! Check out April's website here - especially if you're in the Texarkana area!
Our Sweet Taylor!
And Our Dear Brooklyn (or better known as "B"!)
And We Can't Forget About Augustus McCrae (yes, we've become those people!)
Taylor will be a Junior this school year. WHAT? Where has the time gone?? She is the newest driver in our family (I keep a prayer in my heart always) and is a great Longview High School Viewette. Wish I could say I taught her everything she knows, but I think I owe that to Dottie Hunt School of Dance. She started taking dance lessons at 2 years old. She has shuffle stepped her way to where she is now! I took more pictures and videos of high kickers that WEREN'T Taylor that first year - I mean, they all look the same way out there, all high kicking with that red lipstick stain. I promise to do better this year and only take pictures of my own child!
Brooklyn will be going into 6th grade, or as I used to make sure everyone knew, "Junior High School", thank you very much! She too has taken dance lessons since the age of 2 and has just recently started taking at Fusion Dance in Longview. She is also on the competitive team! Again, I owe Dottie Hunt. Brooklyn is also my most tender hearted and concerned child. She's a pretty neat freak too! She started cleaning at 18 months -seriously! We were attending my niece's baby shower and B proceeds to wipe the host's floor with her hand as soon as we walked in the door! By the time we left, the ladie's house had been dusted. True story!
Carey is such a hard worker and smart man. He is so concerned with our well being and wants the girls to have everything he didn't. That can be good AND bad! He's a hoot to hang out with and always makes us laugh. It's been a good 20 married years (some better than others!), considering we met on a blind date! I really do love him.
