Pretty cool Phil. Congrats on the grandson. Is that grandkid #1, or have you been a member of that club for a bit?

That would be number 1 for us....which makes us both excited, and feel a bit old as well (relatively speaking). My Wife and I are both from previous marriages, and our new Grandson is from her Son and his new Bride. They are just starting out, and a bit young (again, relatively speaking, he's 23, she's 21), but they are great together and are both working hard to make it all work for them.
Technically-speaking, I am a step-Grandpa.....at age 45 or 46 or whatever the heck number I am, it still made me feel kinda old thinking of myself as a Grandpa.....until I got to hold him today. Then it no longer mattered ! I guess we all get or feel "old" sooner or later. But actually, I felt 20 years younger when I first got to hold the little fella. :)
Thoughts of my Grandpa's old HO train-sets that I need to re-build, Red-Rider BB-Guns, Radio-Flyer Wagons, balsa-wood gliders, homemade sling-shots, Zebco fishin' poles, etc., come to mind....
Methinks getting a little older for me will be very fun.....
With kind regards,
Phil S

Congrats, Phil! My parents became grandparents about 9 months ago and are still just tickled to death. (not mine, btw)
Happy new year to all!

Phil, congrats on being a Grand Pa.
That being said, how do you like sleeping with a Grandmother? :wink::wink::wink:
Just to let you know, there is no stronger grip in the world than that little guy grabbing your finger.
All the best.

Nothing in the world like a "Grand Ma" they just fall instantly in love and charge, nothing will get passed a Grand Ma!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have four of the little critters!

My Wife and I are both from previous marriages,
Technically, aren't we all from previous marriages? Those of our parents. :lol9:
No, really, I know what you mean, it just struck me as funny when I read it.
Congratulations!
