1st Grandkid
« on: July 11, 2018, 06:33:27 PM »
We had our kids when we were young and my daughter followed suit. At age 37, I have my first grandkid, a grandson to be exact. He is 100% healthy and perfect in every way. The only bad thing is we have to travel to Gaylord from Troy (Michigan) every time we want to see him. I’m going to get used to that trip real quick.

I love being a young grandpa. It’s just more years I get to spend with him

My wife’s family is pretty much all from there and Wolverine. I love going up there, just wish it didn’t take 3 hours each way.

I thought I was broke raising kids...man, I'd work two jobs to spoil our grands! Between us we have 15 (aged 22-3)...we're the "cool" grandparents; we'll get down on the floor and play w/Legos, watch Dora, whatever they want...it's a special blessing...so many, many congratulations to you...
