I am the honorary Grandma to my sister's grandson. I promised her that I would hold her grandbabies for her, she passed away 4 years ago. My little Adam is a real joy, 18 months old now. I also have 2 boys, 21 and 16 and 3 Goldens, my fur babies.

So good to hear all the wonderful comments from all the "proud" grandparents. I have 4 beautiful granddaughters 4,6,7,and 11. They are all angels and I am very proud of my girls.

Step and adopted and born---they are all the same
Precious gifts from God. That increase the size and love in our family.

Grandchildren grow in our hearts...doesn't make any difference how they arrived in the family!

Most definitely. I am a happy grandmother. I have so much fun with them but they are growing quicker then my children did. I have 4, 2 boys, 2 girls. I love to shower kisses and hugs to them.

chiaraquilts 10-19-2010 04:10 AM

I have two, a five y/o girl and 2 1/2 y/o boy- they do seem to grow faster than my children did! (Maybe because I wasn't the one getting up in the night ;)

Grandkids are one of life's greatest gifts!

Well, at least he didn't turn the freezer control off while he was in there! That happened to us one year, and we lost quite a lot of meat. Not a good memory!

Bev 10-19-2010 02:47 PM

7 total, right now. 4 boys, 3 girls, and one due in Jan, a boy! I absolutely adore them. Each new one is such a blessing. There are 4 I don't get to see often because they live hundreds of miles away. And I have three who live within minutes of me. :lol:

Just wondered how many Grandparents are out there. Aren't Grandkids the greatest!
:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh, forgot to mention I have ten!

I highlighted just the sentence to which I wished to reply, but it all printed anyway. Anyway, I'm the grandma of 5 natural grandchildren and one grandson in-law. What does one call the husband of your granddaughter? Did I use t he right term?

quiltbugs 10-19-2010 06:34 PM

Ten grandkids...The youngest is right there in my avatar. :D
