Not only is Ben blessed to have two sets of wonderful grandparents, but also LOTS and LOTS of great grandparents too! Mike's grandparents all live just a short drive away from us here in Ohio and my grandparents live in Illinois and Missouri (wish we could see them more often!). Since Ben was three months old Mike's grandparents have driven to our house (each taking a different day of the week) to watch Ben for us while Mike and I are at work. We are SO lucky to have them. Not only do they love him unconditionally, but they play with him, teach him things, and do lots of really nice stuff for us too (like fold laundry, iron clothes, make meals, etc). I know...we are very BLESSED! We thought it might be hard for Ben to decipher between each of the sets of grandparents, at first, but he amazed us from the start when he could remember each of their names! We love you each and are so glad to have each of you in our lives! :)Ben and Granny (Mike's mom's mom)
Mamaw and Papaw (Mike's dad's parents)
Angy and Pappy (Granny's twin sister and her husband). They have been like grandparents to Mike his whole life and now they are great grandparents to Ben!
Ben (at 1.5 months) and Grams (My dad's mom)
Great Grandma and Grandpa (My mom's parents). Somebody had to stick with the traditional grandparent names! :)

Ben is so blessed to have so many sets of grandparents AND great grandparents! I am sure he just loves the special time he gets to spend with them. And just like Holden...I bet he's not spoiled a BIT, right? (wink-wink!) =o)

oh...they are all so sweet! You are so blessed with a wonderful heritage! take as many pictures as you can!!
Hey Ali...This is a quick response to your question about what camera I have...it's a Canon S5 IS. Here's a link that you can look at http://www.dpreview.com/news/0705/07050703canons5is.asp
I love it...mostly b/c I can take DVD quality vide for an hour on it and not have to use a video camera! The zoom is great, too! Only negative is that it's a bit bulky...not a slide-in-your-pocket kind of camera! It's one step down from the SLR...but, it's worth every penny to me to have that video option b/c I otherwise I wouldn't ever take video!=)
Ben is so blessed to have so many people that love him! That is awesome he has that many sets of great grandparents. He is definitely a lucky boy!
