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!

I have 13. The last one is just 1 month and 17 days old. Yes, they are. I have one granddaughter that is a Dr. in the science field and works at a science institute in London, England. They are all doing well, but she is the oldest. Puffed up? You betcha'

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.

"If I'd a know that grandchildren were so much fun, I would of had them first." is my motto.

Grandbaby "girl" came about 15 days early today. She is perfect.....Alta Marie - 7lbs. 6oz, 20" and lots of dark hair. I haven't seen pictures yet........but if she looks anything like her mommy...she'll be a cutie.
