I'm pretty sure "Grandmomiversary" is not a proper word, but I used it a couple of years ago to describe the anniversary of the day I became a grandmother for the first time and today I am celebrating my 12th "Grandmomiversary". My oldest grandchild, Jared, turns 12 today and with six more grandchildren after him I still think being a grandmom is a pretty good thing.

Jared and me, nearly 12 years ago
I said most of this about Jared last year and it is all true a year later.
He plays baseball,
basketball and the guitar. He is a good student and has lots of friends. He is a pretty serious
kid who is way too hard on himself when he can't do something perfectly.
He says he is not
looking forward to "catching puberty". (I bet he and his friends have some
pretty interesting conversations about that.)
Happy birthday Jared and thanks for being the first to call me Grandmom.
Jared is a handsome young man. I hope he enjoys this year before he "catches" puberty!

ReplyDeleteMy eldest grandchild (Brylee) just turned 12 too... well beginning of October (close enough). Funny how she is now my Daughter. Only 6 weeks old when she came to live with us forever!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson looks like a lovely young man.
Very cool! A belated Grandmomiversary to you! Twelve glorious years, and am sure you and the grandkids have enjoyed every minute of it. Best wishes for many more to come.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy (belated) birthday to that handsome young grandson of yours!
Grandchildren are just the best. Congratulations on your 12th anniversary of Grandmom. Hope there are many, many more.
