It goes fast. Enjoy every second of it. ....and it just keeps getting better. They light up our lives. Their parents have done such a good job! We are still gaga (shortened to Ga) and papa.


The picture of the LITTLE girl is the same girl.

Congratulations! We are called Mom-mom and Poppy by our five beautiful granddaughters. I can hardly wait for the house to be finished, so they can start visiting us here in The Villages!

Congrats happinow: WOW - What a year you are having.

Children are a blessing and their children are even more special to their grand parents.

Default Congratulations!

We started late and our kids started late, but we now have 4 grandkids 10yrs. -6 mos. so it all works out. Had to share the latest pic of the youngest 2, but don't know if it will work.

They call me Nana and DH is Dadoo 'cause the first grand couldn't say Granddad and the name has stuck. We wonder if it will stick as they get older but it is cute for now and easy for the young ones to pronounce.

I am Grammy to an almost 4 year old boy. When we first purchased in TV he was living in Orlando which was going to be great but I always thought the closer we got to moving down to TV for good it would be my luck that they would find their way back up north.
They moved back up here last Oct. I spend every Monday with him and as busy as it can be I take in every minute.
We put our home on the market a few weeks ago and when he saw the sign he ask what it said. After explaining what the plan was he thought about it for awhile and then said, "Grammy, how am I going to find you?"

I know so many of you have done this but it has to be so hard to leave these little ones when you are such a part of their lives and they hold your heart in their hands.

Default Thanks for your thoughts

Thank you all for your thoughts and photos of your grandchildren. They really are precious. I will have to visit them in North Carolina which is only a short plane ride away and for that I feel grateful. Mr. and Mrs. Bike, moving away is tough but just think of the fun they will have visiting you? It will be wonderful for them. They will experience your world and have a ball. They will remember the visits for ever.

I will love what ever my grandchildren call me. I'm sure it will be cute.

We used to call my grandparents Nanny and Dadoo. Never heard that before from anyone. Made me smile to read it. ;o)

Happinow, wow... a new home and a baby. There is no way to express what a joy a grandchild is. Until I held my granddaughter in my arms and saw her face, I counldn't really 'get it'. I thought I did, but oh, my, she makes me stupid happy. She will take my face in her baby hands and look me right in the eye and say, "I love you, Grammy" and everything else in the world disappears at that moment. I'm so very happy for you.

We've always called it a nook or a nummy. My daughter would suck on her pacifier and it sounded like num, num, num so we called it a nummy.
