Not everyone is blessed to have a grandchild come in to their life, but Ter-Bear and I are blessed every day with our three wonderful grandchildren! We thank the Lord for them every day and pray for their health and well being.
Not only are we blessed to have them, but they are all very exceptional people in their own right.
Alexander was born on December 19, 1998. We were SOOO excited to meet this little bundle of joy! Of course being the first you might expect us to spoil him. We tried very hard not to, and today he is a sweet, intelligent, funny, caring, and all around delightful human being.
Alex's dad is Thomas Woodrow, our son (Math teacher), and his mom is Christine (homemaker).

Cassidy was born February 7, 2000, a sweet, beautiful intelligent,loving daughter of Woody and Christine.
One peek at this beautiful child, and our breath was taken away!
We fell hook line and sinker for this sweet pink bundle of joy just like we did her brother!
Over the past 10 years we have spent many, many special times with them both. They have given us hours of joy to build our memories on. We could not have asked for two more prescious babies to be with.
Some of our great memories include:overnights at Grandma and PapPaw's house many times (including icecream sundaes every time we watched a movie together (hundreds!), trips to Sea Breeze Amusement park, lots of fun times at the movies, with Friendlies visits afterwards, shopping at Eastview Mall at Christmas time and any time! Bowling parties for birthdays, and celebrating all of our birthdays at several of our favorite restaurants in the Rochester area.
When they took off for North Carolina, we both had broken hearts for a very long time. At least now, with us living closer to them, we get to see them. They were a very BIG factor in our decision to move to Maryland.

Seamus born on September 28,2005 to our daughter Julie (full time mommy and research analyst) and James(full time daddy and part time graduate student/farmer's market guru), was a gift from the Lord to all of us and to everyone who has the priviledge to know him. He was born with a life altering disease, cystic fibrosis, and has been through more in his short life so far than most people will ever even think about. He is a sweet, loveable beyond measure adult in a child's body. He has many interests and continues to find everything he does a great adventure! He calls us "Ga" and "Pa", names that he first created and uttered at the age of 15 months when he came to visit us in Walworth, New York.
He never ceases to spread sunshine wherever he goes. He has a zest for life, more than anyone we have ever known!

All and all, we both consider ourselves the most blessed grandparents in the world! Thank you Wood and Chrissy! Thank you Jules and James! And most of all, thank you, JESUS!
