Our grandkids run from soon-to-be 29 yo down to 8 yo. Daughter married
young and had three kids, each three years apart. Those three now are 29
through 23. The 29 yo and the 26 yo boys are the ones expecting new
youngun's now. Our son married at age 35 and has a 10 yo and an 8 yo.
One of our great granddaughters is 11 days younger than our youngest
grandchild.

Our eldest grandkids generally call us every few weeks and come to visit
on holidays and at odd times when they are free. Seldom see the youngest
ones but we won't venture into the reasons why.
