Dumpster 0 #1 December 1, 2003 Just recently got news my oldest daughter, Liz, is expecting!! She's due in late June. Holy shit. I'm gonna be "Grandpa Lenny" - or "Grandpa Dumpster" - or "Grandpa No-Pull". Yikes, man, I'm only 41!! The pregnancy wasn't "planned", but my viewpoint is kids are NEVER mistakes. It feels really, really weird! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian425 0 #5 December 1, 2003 Congrats!!! My dad tells me being a grandparent is much easier and more fun than being a parent. He says you get all the benefits and very few of the problems. I wish you and your daughter the best!!! A great early Christmas gift. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Dumpster 0 #7 December 2, 2003 It's pretty far out, really- Thanks to y'all for the good wishes! This is such a great community to belong to! I'm getting used to the idea - Liz will be living in Alaska soon, and we have plans to travel up there just about the same time the baby is due. We hope to be there in time for the Solistce Boogie at Wasilla. Could be a real Good Vibe thing for her and the baby, too, ya think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sducoach 0 #9 December 2, 2003 My first Grandson is due in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to "sleeping with a Grandmother"! Most people tell me Grandkids are better than your own kids, you can send them home! We might try that with a few skydivers we know. Congrats, Blues, and Blessing upon all.

Daizey 0 #18 December 3, 2003 Congratulations! Being a grandparent is so special. Just think of all of the love you are gonna be showered with over the next years. I've always adored my grandparents! I'll never forget as a kid playing at there house and cudling in their laps for stories and being so excited to go their house or for them mto come to ours. As i grew older i grew even closer with them and to this day i still have a great relationship with them. Grandparents are so great....and now you get to be one! *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jceman 1 #19 December 3, 2003 Hey, I got my first grandson at age 39, so by my thinking you're late! Having five in all now, all I can say is the old line "If I know grandchildren were this much fun, I'd have had them first!". Enjoy the new one. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #20 December 3, 2003 Thank you and thanks to all- I never really had grandparents, they had either passed away before I was born or when I was quite young- So this is really pretty new territory for me- But I never met a really unhappy grandparent, so it must not be too bad- I wonder how many kids out there can say "My Grandpa Skydives!!!!" Well, a few I'm sure, but not many! Rock On, My friends! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
