Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Connie's a Grandma
Permalink  

Just thought I would let our friends here know that at 0943 today Connie became a grandma as our DIL Jen popped out her first…Alexander (Grayson or Declin; the proud parents are still arguing about the middle name) Laubenthal. They deliberately didn't choose any family related names as Jen's parents are divorced and both remarried so with essentially 3 sets of parents and family names they didn't want to offend anybody. I personally recommended Bryan Neil Jr…but it didn't get many votes

Since she's a grandma I guess that makes me grandpop as well…but I'm having a hard time getting my brain around that as (usually) being grandpa means you're old as well and since I have been saying for many, many years that old is a state of mind and has nothing to do with the mileage on your body I've decided never to get old…it doesn't look like much fun from all the old people we've met in our full timing travels.

My immediate reaction on the text saying "he's here" was to say "I've never kissed a granny before" and proceed to do just that. I can definitely report that grannies kiss pretty good and taste the same as non grannies.

I know many great grandparents on the road. You can be a great grandparent before you turn 60.

Congratulations.

Thanks all. We are headed up there tomorrow to see him and his parents for a couple of days.  Gotta dig through our closet and find some warm clothes though.

We appreciate all the nice thoughts…I've passed them along to Connie. She's sitting on the couch right now holding the baby…I took mom and baby over to the doc for first post birth visit this morning…Jen can't drive for 2 weeks (no real reason that I can see) and carrying the baby carrier causes her episiotomy stitches and abdominal muscles to ache…so I got to carry him in, undress him for weighing, hold him while they drew some blood from his foot to check…amazingly enough he didn't even wake up when they did that. He's a sleeper.

 So exciting! It sounds like you and grandma Connie are having a very good time. We look forward to hearing stories later this winter.
