So, now you get a new audience to tell the stories that all the rest of your clan has heard a million times, of course. It's what grandfathers do.

Seriously, congratulations, Dennis. Best wishes to you and the whole family on your good news.

I think it's wonderful! 6 of my 7 are girls and they think Papa (now is the time to pick your name) hung the moon. They are so honest, so sincere .... she will make you smile a thousand times and will do little things that you will never forget. Example: Last Christmas one of the girls opened a package and screamed in delight, "Oh, this is what I have always wanted, I love it .... what is it"?
Raising kids is a mixture of good and not-so-good (mostly good), but spoiling a grandkid is all good .... ENJOY.

Congrats Dennis. Start saving now and in 5 years take her to Disney World to celebrate her birthday with Mickey and friends. It will take 5 years to save for the trip. Just got back with my two grandsons ages 3 and 5. Great trip took two weeks to recover.

First of all Cograts Dennis. Second drop all that "Step" crap. You are a grandpa, you are their grandpa and they will call you grandpa.

I agree with Dono. Now is the time to get your name all set. Maybe a poll is in order.
1) Grandpa Dennis
2) Grandpa
3) Papa
4) Pops
5) Pappy
OR what I call both my kids grandpa's
6) the biggest pain in my ***, most spoilingest, noisy toy buyingest, fart/belching game teaching, loving my kids men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Congrats again Dennis.



My kids call my parents (not my biological parents) grandma and grandpa
