OT - grandma again

Congratulations.  But since you are already a Grandma, you know what wonderful things are in store for you.

We have 6 grandkids (5 boys, 1 girl) and they are the best thing that ever happened to us!!  I am Gammy, Grams or G-Ma.  My DH is Poohpa (that somehow came from him being like a big old bear, to Pooh, to Poohpa), or Gramps.  But no matter what they call us, we are proud of all of them.

That's wonderful Sheri, grankids are the best. Enjoy them

Hi Cargriton,
I am enjoying the one I have now and have lots of love for anymore that come...
Thanks.
Sheri

Grammylew - I'm with you - this has been the best year.
This is the best news since I was okayed for RNY.
I am Nanny and my hubby is Grandad.  You must have so much fun with all yours.  Do they live close enough for lots of visits and hugs???
Sheri

Well, Sheri, 2 of the grands are 6 houses down.  They are boys, ages 16 and 18.  We see them almost every day.  Mostly to feed them!!  We LOVE it.  The oldest heads for college in the fall!

Three of the others live in OR.  Our oldest grandson is 20 and we lived very close and saw him often until we moved to NC 4 years ago.  The youngest two, an boy 14 and a girl 12 also live in OR.  When we all lived in Eugene, I babysat them from the time they were born while their parents worked.  Then when the younger one was 4 our daughter was transferred to Portland.  I still went up when DD called if they were sick and couldn't go to school ****pt a bag packed in the trunk and could be there in 2 hours) or just to visit.  Now I go out there to babysit twice a year, and they all come here to visit in Aug.

The 6th grandchild is 15.  He lives in AK with our son and DIL.  We never see him.  Our son is estranged from the rest of the family, including his oldest son (our 20 y/o grandson).  Very sad, but his descision.

There is NOTHING like the hugs from a grandkid.  And we still get lots of hugs from all of them!  Even from all of their friends who call us Gramma and Grampa.

Don't know what happened but I replied to each one separately and they are all mixed up.  Sorry!!
Sheri

Yeah is right!!  Grands are the best!  We have two grandsons 7 y/o Gabe and 5 1/2 y/o Ethan.  One from our daughter, and one from our younger son.  Older son is not contributing to our grandparenthood, he's still not married!
Debbie

Hi Debbie - I agree about grands being the best.
These are both from my son as daughter is learning disabled and is enjoying being an aunt.  None of us cares about being boy or girl as long as it is healthy.

Oh My GOSH.. That is so cute, it made me tear up, I called my grandaughter over to see it( she is 15) and she loved it too. Congratulations !!!

Congratulations Sheri,

What a cute way to find out about a new grandchild.  Like everyone else I love being a grandma. Our granddaughters call us Nana & Papa.  They believe that Nana and Papa can fix anything and everything and Nana can sew anything, except  Barbie dolls who have lost or broken their heads, this happens alot at their house!!  The youngest decided that since they can't be fixed, Nana should use them as mannequins or Barbie-quins when making Barbie doll clothes. 

Congrats on your special news!
Hugs, Paulette
