Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author Unknown

 

 

What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change,

and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

 

 

Grandmothers are just 'antique' little girls ~Author Unknown

 

 

Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.

~Welsh Proverb

 

A grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead

of the television. ~Author Unknown

 

 

Never have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore Vidal

 

 

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just

a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam Brown

 

 

 

Grandchilden don't stay young forever, which is good because

Grandfathers have only so many horsey rides in them. ~Gene Perret

 

 

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.

~ Ogden Nash

 

 

Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just

you all day and now the day was complete. ~ Marcy DeMaree

 

Grandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author unknown

 

 

Grandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our

hearts forever. ~Author Unknown

 

 

If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren,

I'd have had them first. ~Lois Wyse

 

 

My grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after

two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret

 

 

If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should

advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is

no fun for old people like it! ~Hannah Whithall Smith

 

 

It's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the

world calls her grandmother. ~Author Unknown

 

Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing

old. ~Mary H. Waldrip

 

 

You do not really understand something unless you can explain

it to your grandmother. ~Proverb

 

 

An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again.

Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene Perret

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You

feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long

periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida . ~Dave Barry

 

 

I wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for

self-defense.. ~Gene Perret

 

 

Grandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas

are short on criticism and long on love. ~Author Unknown

 

 

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.

Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of

little children. ~Alex Haley

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grandmother - a wonderful mother with lots of

practice. ~Author Unknown

 

 

A grandparent is old on the outside but young on

the inside. ~Author Unknown

 

 

One of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new

grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather. ~Joy Hargrove

 

 

It's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you

become one. ~Author Unknown

 

If your baby is 'beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses,

sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the

time,' you're the grandma. ~Teresa Bloomingdale

 

 

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have

around and easily wrapped around the fingers of their

grandchildren. ~Author Unknown

 

What is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I'd like to say

that grandparents are God's gifts to children. And if they can

but see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they

can mature at a fast rate. ~Bill Cosby

 

 

Grandchildren don't make a man feel old; it's the knowledge

that he's married to a grandmother. ~G. Norman Collie

 

My name is: MomMom Nothing would brighten my world more than being called by my precious, Christopher, Ryan, , Trenton, RJ and hopefully Ryleigh will talk soon. I can't rush it as her first Birthday will be in May.

 

I will never forget the first time each lil one was placed in my arms for the first time and when our eyes locked into each others. What a gift from GOD. It's his way of saying "Life goes on".

These are beautiful Jan. Not a Grandma yet or I hope for a long time but brings back fond memories of my grandparents plus the way I felt when my daughter was placed in my arms for the first time. I said her name and our eyes as well locked. I talked to her throughout the pregnancy. As she recognized my voice that was the most beautiful gift I ever ever received.
