We're now the proud grandparents of three -- one granddaughter (MacCaila) and two grandsons (John and Colin). As you can tell from these photos, we're definitely enjoying being grandparents!
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. Being proud of our Irish heritage, it seemed fitting that our wee little ones call us by the Irish names!

One of the joys of being a grandparent:
being greeted by that smiling face after a nice long nap -- John's, not ours! ;-)
