Ashley called this evening to let us know that in May, 2009, we will b
ecome great grandparents! We were delighted, of course, but then into my head popped the thought, "How old are we?" Ashley and Tom are so pleased, and we hope and expect that all will go well. Soon we will add another child to our growing family. I then asked HW2 about her necklace. She has had a wonderful necklace with little people each representing one of our cherished grandchildren. They each know which figure is theirs and enjoy it when Grammy wears her necklace. So the question becomes, "Do you get another necklace for great grand children or keep adding to the existing one, or, do something different?"
Necklaces aside, it is an exciting time for Ashley and Tom, and we were delighted to be called so that we could enjoy all the excitement, too. There is a rumor floating about that Ashley's dad and step mom might get called Gumbo and Poppy. After all, grandparents like to choose what they will be called by the grandchildren. We chose Grammy and Grandad and love those titles. My mom chose to be called Nana as she did not think she was old enough to be called grandmother. Her mother-in-law was called that. Such fun, but, "How old are we?" Great grand parenting will take a bit of time to get used to. I guess I have till May, 2009, to get it together. Happy travels.
