Happinow......a grandmother???
 
I must admit, I certainly feel too young but my only daughter is expecting my first grandchild. Let's see, should I be called grandma, granny, nana? I guess it will be whatever they can pronounce! Not only will I be shopping for my new home but I think I'll pick a onsie or two, or some booties, or diapers, or.....

I think she is due in September. :smiley::MOJE_whot:

I'm called Mimi by my granddaughters. My late husband insisted he was too young to be called Grandpa and settled on "Uncle Grandpa."

Down here it's Mimi! My oldest daughter is a Mimi and my wife is a Nana.

What's an Onsie? Found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsie

Better get some nitsers too.

Happinow, It sounds like this chapter has a lot of changes in a short time.
New home and the first grandchild. How exciting.

Wow! To be blessed with a new TV home AND a first grandchild in the same year? Can life get any better than this? I think NOT. Congratulations!!! I have only one grandson, but he's the love of my life. He'll be 11 next month.

Happinow 02-21-2012 09:30 PM

What's a nitser? I'd better look that one up. I thought I'd heard of everything.

Wow...what a year this is going to be for you!! Congrats!

I'm called everything from grandma, gramma Betty, grams, grammie, G-ma........and my 15 yo grandaughter whom I play a part in raising and disciplining sometimes calls me Grambo!:laugh:

Re.....Grandmother....
 
Congratulations Happinow!! What an exciting year for your family.
Our youngest son and wife are due any day now to sign formal papers for the adoption of "3" kids. A blessing for them and for the kids that they will be staying together ages...2, 3 & 5! I am pinned as Grandma Bev and hubby is known as Grandpa Super Dave..Looks like a wonderful year for both of us:)

Congratulations Happinow. And lanabanana, your grandson is so cute! Thanks for sharing.

It's going to be a big year for you !

Congratulations.

My grandson calls me Boompa. :smiley:

Congrats, there is nothing like being a Grand Parent. My Wife is called Granny and I'm PaPa, and there is nothing better than when they say PaPa will you.... and it don't matter what it is you want to do it for them.

RichieB 02-21-2012 10:49 PM

You are SO right !

Grand Parents
 
Congratulations!!
We just had our 6th and we are not 60 yet. The oldest turned 13 at Christmas!! They are truly a blessing! Having them young allows you to really experience and build family traditions. We know they will be looking forward to visiting us in TV. They are made our move easier, they moved away from us first!!!
Enjoy the blessing!
