Hello Lola,
Thanks for the welcome and nice to meet you.

Our oldest is 11. From there we have a 10, a 9, 2@ 8, and then 2@ 5. Both of our girls and their families live near, so we are able to see all at will. In fact, we live an almost equal distance between the two families, no more than 15 miles. It really worked out nicely when I was the "sitter." Now all 7 are in school, so I'm not needed in that capacity much any more. I'm glad you get to see yours at least once a month. I have withdrawals if I go any longer than 2 weeks without seeing some of them. Don't be surprised if I post incessantly with talk of my 7 grands!
