Most excellent! Multiple births are a lot of work but tons of fun as time passes. Happy you got to be around for their arrival. We were 62 and 61 when our twin grandsons showed up.

Congratulations! Nice healthy sizes for twins.... My dad literally retired after my triplets were born so he could spend more time doting on them, and nearly 10 years later he still does almost daily.....

congrats into the 60's is a good time to be grandparents I think.

I know if either of my 2 kids in college now say HI GRANDPA,  I would be a tad bit upset at them I think only age 20 and 22?  I would get over it, but their finances are not in order the way it is now.  Boy has been thru like 6 girlfriends since senior year in high school (3 whole years now) with only 2 or 3 I liked as keepers while the older girl age 22 has had about the same amount over the years with her fiance now OK AT BEST.  1 of the 5 or 6 total called the police on put a restraining order on ONE P.O.S. was going to KILL him literally, wife talked me out of it.    She even, much to my surprise, came to me about 6 months ago while engaged asking me if I liked him or what I thought of him.  I said he is o.k. you have done worse by far but he needs to do more I think as well as stop watching so many sports on TV obsessed with SPORTS of all kinds in fantasy football and other betting leagues.  Who watches GOLF for 4 hours straight on TV, boring!!!!!  While up there once visiting I told him once to get up and help me out and surprisingly he did MOVE....

Thank all of you for your replies and congratulations.

Serk,  My cousin has triplet daughters and her advice to Sarah was, do not turn down any help.

Rams, Hang in there, they will figure it out eventually. cooldude

Bruce, I am planning to make it to Marion, haven't missed one yet. Jane will be sending picture, but sticking close to home. Grin

Joe, I told Sarah, when they can wipe their own butt they can stay on the farm with me full time. angel

Don & Tracy, Heath is saying that he only has 12 more years of weed eating. We have plenty of that, along with mowing, brush hogging, and everything else that involves work. I may be able to loan them out to you if they start getting rowdy.
We would all love to see you two at Marion this year. It has been to long since we've shot the bull. Cheesy

Mark, Look's like you've grown some lately, and not just your hair. Wink

Congrats on the the boys.  You'll enjoy the for many years.

We have three grandsons  19 17 10.  The oldest is planning on attending his second year in college in the fall (did on line for first year).  The 17 year old is looking for a college now.  will have enough credits to graduate HS by mid year.  All three of them are pretty dang smart, that must have come from the grandma.    2funny

If DW and I can stay healthy in 5-9 years we might become great grandparents.  Looking forward to it.

Congratulations to Keith and Jane. I have twin boys that are 30 now. People always asked if they were a lot of work. Honestly, when you only have twins you don’t know what having a single child is like so it just seems normal. All I can say is I don’t really remember the first 6 months because I was sleep deprived. As others have said...except any and all help that is offered.
