No grandpa for all these kids over here. A couple of years ago, my mom married a pretty neat guy, so he is now "grandpa" but most of my kids are older and just consider him their grandma's husband. But my younger ones have all embraced the grandpa-idea and they call him "grandpa" -- so now we finally have a grandpa. Better late than never, I guess.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-29683939990491719692016-10-11T16:29:47.949-04:002016-10-11T16:29:47.949-04:00awww look how cute they are.
