Our Daughter has given birth to our absolutely beautiful Granddaughter who is our first Grandchild! I can not describe the feelings my wife and I have at becoming Grandparents, at our age it is rather late in life for us but it was well worth the wait! Both Mother and Daughter are doing great in spite of the little one arriving three weeks early, the Docs say she is healthy and doing exceptionally well for an early birth and should be able to come home in just a few days. Our Daughter and Son-in-law are living with us right now while they are having their house built here on the farm and my Wife and I couldn't be happier at the thought of having that baby girl here in a few days, I apologize for carrying on such but excited just doesn't describe what I feel right now! :grin:

I have 3 Grandsons,all grown up and making their way in life.The eldest now 30 has a Baby son making the wife and I Great grandparents.They have always been a great joy to us and now the Baby Boy is the icing on the cake.It doesn't seem that long ago when I made those Boys Bows and Arrows,Wooden Swords and Shields,put up a Rope and Pulley wheel to send them across the garden.Now perhaps I will do the same with the little one who is only 4 months old.I am now 78 years old but still enjoy them when they visit.The eldest and I Go Clay Shooting both Modern and Muzzleloading.He is already a better shot and I have been at it for years.Good luck to you Sir enjoy that little one.

Congrats! Just wait untill that little one gets home and you and Grandma get to "bond" with her! You just thought your kids had you wrapped around their finger! My Grandson is now 12 and my best buddy. I'm SURE yours will be the same.

Best thing ever, ain't it ! Now you wait to see what they call you - I was going for Grampaw George, but I'm now officially PopPop 'cause that's what the grandboy said first !

My grandson calls me to talk about hotrods. I wonder where that could possibly have come from? Wished he lived a little closer.

My dad had a name he wanted to be called by his grandkids, it never happened but he still uses it, I guess in his mind they all do use it. I learned from that experience that they will call you what they want. I'm Papa Steve and Grandpa Steve, and I'm just fine with that although it does confuse them when they hear my children call my dad Grandpa Steve (I'm a Jr.).

I call my grandchildren my minions and they give me minion toys lol.

A year and a half ago, my daughter brought into this world my first grandchild - ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
This week she emailed us a video of a sonogram of number two. We'll see if she can do it again.

My son, our oldest, will receive his PHD a week from today.
Congratulations... be as blessed as my wife and I are.
