No, but my husband is Dutch and they call grandparents Oma and Opa also. I like it because when our grandchildren talk about us everyone knows they mean us and not their other grandmothers and grandfathers - their are 5 grandmothers and four grandfathers ( that includes greatgrandmothers and great grandfathers.) We lived in Germany - Hahn- for five years. It is so beautiful there. We lived in Holland for six years - Maastrict, Stein and Uden. It is also beautiful there. We lived in Italy for 2 years and it has a beauty also. Now we are in beautiful Arizona and if you have ever been here you know the beauty is very different from other states.
