    I'm a grandpa! Again...

    My latest grandchild was born on Thanksgiving Day. A little girl named Maxine. She is my 4th grandchild and the first granddaughter. Spoiled? Oh, she will be!

    I have 3 grandsons from my daughter. The oldest is 6 and the other two are 4 year old twin boys. Hilarious and awesome! My daughter is married to an Air Force guy that is extremely intelligent and going into cyber warfare in May in the private sector.

    My grand daughter was born to my son and his girlfriend. He works for Facebook and she is a teacher. They don't plan on getting married as they live in Seattle and are corrupted. They plan on calling the baby, "Max" so as to not be gender specific. "shakes head"

    But, idiotic political beliefs aside, I have another healthy grandchild!

    Weird to be 50 and have four grand kids. I don't feel old enough to be a grandpa, let alone have 4 grand kids. I was 44 when my first grandson was born, so you would think I would be used to it by now. But I'm not.

    Congrats! 61 here, and not in a big hurry for my kids to have kids yet, even though my oldest will be 30 next year.

    Congrats on the new grandchild! Baby girls are very special. I didn't become a grandfather until I was 55. I love being a grandfather.

    Congrats Idaho! 50 nd four grandkids . . . that's something! I don't have any grandkids . . . but then we didn't have any kids either. I have been thinking about it though . . . everybody asks the we don't have kids and I just tell 'em the we wanted to wait and make sure the marriage would last . . . I guess we can get on to that project . . . we'll be married 50 years next August so I guess we're safe?

    I'm guessing that you are tickled pink about your first grand-daughter . . . and you should be! Trying to avoid politics . . . but look at it this way . . . you will probably be the most influential person in her life when it comes to teaching her common sense . . . you'll be a good grandpa and a good influence on her life.

    Congratulations on your newest grandchild!

    Grandkids are great, when you start accumulating great grandkids.....you start feeling old! Like a verse from a Garth Brooks song, “too young to feel this damn old”! memtb

    Grandchildren are such a blessing; even when they aren't. I can't imaging going through life without any kids around. Nowadays, that would be anybody under thirty-five.

    Way cool.

    One of the best things about new Grandkids--- when their diaper fills up, you can hand them back.
    In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
    In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.


    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
