OT Family excitement growing
Dick Coers
Our daughter is to report to the hospital at 10:00 pm tonight if she doesn't go into labor before then. This will be our first Grandson, likely to be our only grandchild. Actually we had given up hope on having any, but will receive this little blessing soon! Man, I can't wait!

Your new role is life; as Grandparents, we are to create pleasant memories for our Grandchildren.
We are really going to rack up mileage
Dick Coers
It's about 150 miles to their house. I once read a book that described a tribe method of raising children. Parents are just too busy with careers and worry, with too much day to day stress to properly raise children. It takes Grandparents with their more gently ways, with more experience, and more time to really raise the little ones. We plan on being there as much as possible!
grandparents with shops!

Especially grandparents with shops and a bit of creativity and who don't take themselves too seriously! We have SO much fun, with my own and borrowed grandkids. :-)
Alex, 5, still repeats the mantra I taught him at age 2 - "We do our work first, then we play!" I have pictures of very tiny kids feeding animals, cleaning up manure, raking gravel, and having fun on the big swing. Life is so good!
