And secondly, it is to remind me just how grand this role really is!<br />(also, I want to strike fear and obedience into their little hearts! just kidding.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989085026245237633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-2791843872234960142013-11-05T19:26:01.101-07:002013-11-05T19:26:01.101-07:00Fair enough!

I love your family - especially the way your parents do things individually with the grandkids. <br /><br />I have a question- I hope you will answer - I asked it on Shawni's blog but didn't get a response. <br /><br />I noticed that your Mom is called "Grammie", rather informally - but your Dad is called "Grandfather" - which seems rather formal as opposed to "Grampie" or even "Grandpa". He does not seem like a formal person to me, he seems very "down home" and relaxed. <br /><br />Is this just the way things worked out, or is there a reason why he is not called by a nickname like your Mom?<br /><br />Thanks so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
