Grandmas + Grandpas

I thought this was a nice video, and it's sad to think about people not embracing that role because they don't want to seem old. I am grateful my mom is there to help, but also that Lucas and Olivia, my children, know and love my mom, their grandma. I wish my dad were here also, but I am sure we will all be telling them the funny memories of dad when they are older.
I am also happy that L + O will soon get to know their Hodge grandparents, and great-grandma Croce. They are all the way on the other side of the country, but we will soon be out there. I am glad grandma Hodge uses this blog to keep up to date with the babies and their developments. And I know L + O will have lots of fun with Stan & Louise.
I hope wherever we end up, that my mom and brothers move close by. I also hope my other siblings will be closer to us too--I am one of 6, we need to make this work! Oh and I am excited to meet my half sis Michelle and her family, and have Lucas and Olivia meet my half siblings from my dad's first marriage. I envision huge family dinners together someday. When one of us has a big enough house to have everyone come visit :) Maybe it will happen someday.
