When we learned we were going to be grandparents for the first time, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that we would be called Daideo and Maimeo by the grandkids -- which are Irish terms for grandfather and grandmother. And as you can see, we're definitely enjoying being grandparents!
Larry giving our MacCaila a lesson in installing ceramic tile. She listened very intently. Considering she'll probably be as independent as her mother, she'll be doing it herself some day -- and telling everyone her Daideo taught her how! (April 2006)

MacCaila and Maimeo waiting patiently on the front steps of Lisa and Brian's new house for the ice cream truck. We heard the bells -- but never saw the truck!
Cute MacCaila story: Carole took a picture of Cody and Mac, sitting on this very porch the next day, with ice cream from the ice cream truck. When Cody asked to look at the picture, since Carole doesn't use a digital camera, MacCaila explained: "Maimeo is old school. ..... Well, she's little new school .... but mostly old school!"

One of the joys of being a grandparent:
learning that your second grandchild is one the way! This was our first ultrasound of our first grandson, John William Albertini, who arrived in February, 2003. (July, 2006)

What about the joys of being a GREAT grandparent:
That's definitely a joy, as MacCaila's great-grandma Meme can attest to. (September 2006)

One of the joys of being a grandparent:
having a granddaughter that has your beautiful blue eyes! One of the things that first attracted Carole to Larry was his blue eyes, so imagine our delight when MacCaila has those same gorgeous blue eyes! (November 2006)

And then it was Daideo's turn! How appropriate that John was wearing the Cleveland Browns outfit his grandpa Murray bought for him. (March 4, 2007)
