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! |
We have 6 grands & love each one like nothing else in the world! Oldest DGS is 19 yrs...2 DGS's are 8 yrs...twin grandgirlies that are 5 yrs & the last DGS will be 5 next month. With the boys all playing ball & the girls in gymnastics & dance, we stay busy! We LOVE it!

4 legged are my grands!!

The first quilt I finished was for my first grandson. I have one granddaughter and four grandsons, the youngest turns two next January. They have all gotten quilts from Grandma - now my two kids are bugging me for ones for themselves.

I'm going to be a Nana in May! My first! I homeschooled too! But, because of the economy, I have to go to work full time! yuck! and just when I was really getting into quilting and looking forward to being with my grandchild!

I have 7 grandkids, 3 girls ages 9,6,and 3.
And 4 boys ages 8,7,3 and 2. They keep me young and their parents very busy.The 9,7,3 and 2 year olds belong to my oldest son. the 8,6 and 3(girl) belong to my daughter, life is never dull when they all get together. |
It's nice when cousins can get together to play. I believe it to be especially nice when they are close in age.
I completely missed out on cousin playmates my age as a child. Both my sister who was only 13 months my senior and the female cousin who was my age died as infants. Next cousin in age was a male that I rarely saw. We still have little to say to each other, though we are both senior citizens. |
I'm one behind you Linda...I have 9 grands ranging from 6 mos. to 18 yrs....only 2 girls in the whole bunch! Spoil 'em and send 'em home...that's my motto! :mrgreen: :thumbup:

I have 4 grandchildren. Two Boys and two girls. Just love them with everything in me. Mine live in Il. This christmas will be 4 or 5 yrs. since we have seen them and won't be able to make it home this year either. We miss them soooo much. Our oldest 2 will be 14 and 13 in Feb. We have missed out on soo much of their lives. I really regret moving to the south.

I have 9 grandchildren (oldest is 30 years and the youngest is 3 months), 3 great-grandchildren and another one due in May 2011. My 4 children range in age from 52 down to 28. I'm a proud quilting mimi who is always busy with a crib quilt or a special ordered quilt (Hannah Montana, Camoflage, basketball, school house, etc.) I have so much to do I'll never get it done before I die. I also have several tops pieced by my grandmother when she was in her 90's that I want to quilt to hand down to my children. I'm a slow hand quilter so I quilt every day for as long as I can.

We didn't move away from our grandchildren; our children moved away from us. Our daughter lives in Missouri with her her husband and the two children they still have at home. Their oldest daughter is a US Marine, stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA. Our son lives just up the road in Austin. However, since he and his wife recently got a divorce, I don't know when we'll get to see his two sons. The youngest lives with his mother, and the older goes to school in southeast Texas.

I have 2, Gracee 7, Sadee 3.
|
We only have Finley - my avatar and 2 granddogs
All are fun and keep us busy We would love to have more of the human type - hint hint But i am thankful for what we have |
I have to grandsons 9 and 7 but they live in another state so I don't get to see them much.
|
I have three, one girl and two boys. The girl is 6; the boys 3 and 1 1/2. And yes, they are wonderful. I have a plaque in my sewing room that says "grandchildren are our reward for not killing our teenages". And what a wonderful reward they are!!!
|

I have 4, three girls and one boy...grandkids are the greatest!
|
I have 15 with 16 and 17 on the way. Have quite a few quilts to go and make.
|
I am a step-gramma to a precious 16 month old boy, Paxton. He will become a big brother to our granddaughter in February.
|
Thank you to every Grandparent, Great Grandparent and animal Grandparents who have posted. It has been wonderful reading each and everyone's count and story and humor.
Happy quilting! :-D |
I have 3, all boys and I love them so much they really are the greatest!!!

I have three 2-boys and 1-girl. All three of them are under 3years of age.LOL They are the best!
|
I have 1 granddaughter, 4 months old, and I still have 3 children at home. My daughter is attending a local college, and I homeschool my boys ages 15 and 12. I don't get as much time as I would like, but I try to fit in a small portion of time each day. I am currently learning handpiecing.

I only have 1 Grandchild. I wish I had more. :D
|
I have three of my own, with one more due in January. My new husband has 5, so together we will have 9 in a couple months! They are wonderful!
|
I have two granddaughters, two step-granddaughters, and one grandbaby on the way. Gender is TBD.
Having my granddaughters is the main reason that I started sewing and quilting again. What I make for my grandchildren will almost certainly outlive me, and be a lifelong reminder to my grandchildren of their grandmother who loved them enough to make a quilt for them. |
