    My grandsons came home today

    Blake and Lukas were born Friday. Due to the virus, my wife was not able to be there for our youngest daughter. It was killing her. Still, a week ahead of scheduled C-section, the boys decided it was time to be here. I was not there as I am still stuck in Northern California. My son-in-law‘s mother arrived just before the babies came home.

    My wife has been at our youngest daughters side for a month. I have never seen the brightest smiles in all of the days of my life. Two grandmothers, seeing their babies come home. There is nothing like the love of a mother, and grandmothers seeing the next generation come forth. I look forward to when I can meet the boys face-to-face and not worry about the stupid virus. These are not my first grandsons only the latest. No matter what that is pretty cool. Frank

    Congratulations!

    I myself am the proud grandfather of twin boys, born 3/15/18. And one more weird grandson born two years earlier and a day later.

    My daughter has joined a couple of twin support groups and has learned all sorts of invaluable tricks and tips when dealing with twins.

    As a grandad 26 times over, I have to agree it never gets boring. The wonderful thing we oldies have to look forward to is the birth and lives of a new generation. Regards Stephen

    Congratulations! Just remember "Boys will be boys", and you do want it that way. Our two sons were not twins, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. They are now 49 yrs and 51 years. I couldn't be more proud of how they turned out. Thanks mainly to their mother no doubt.
