Grandad Here

Post by Dazzled »

That's it, I'm officially an old fart now. Last night at 9:16 my daughter gave birth to our first grandchild, a baby boy.

I am now a grandad. :shock:

I'm not sure how much difference it'll make though as I've had a cardigan and slippers for years :roll:

Another congratulations. Frankly, I find the grandkids more fun than the first batch. Patience seems to increase with age.
