Grandbaby number eight is on the way!  I have two brothers, one older and one younger, and I am the one with any grandchildren.  I love them so much, but sometimes I call them, "What's your name?"  It's hard to remember so many kids in a crowded moment. 

We have so much fun together, and I am blessed to have all of them close to me geographically, as well as, emotionally.

I am "Mimi."  My eldest granddaughter named me that and all the children call that.

My grandchildren ages are:  on the way in April 09, and fifteen.  I have four children ages fourteen through thirty-five.

I am so excited.  Here I go again!

Congrats on the announcement of your new grandbaby!

Honey, I'm confused. the math doesn't work here. You said grandbaby #8 was on the way but then you said 'my grandbabies ages are..' and you only give two ages and you rulle out the fact that all the others are the same age when you used the term eldest.

Just nit-picking dear.....
