14. Yes, it's a tough balancing act..

Jan 2015

it happens that I'm really quite blessed, because I wrote off any notion that I would have grandchildren since my daughter became involved with another woman. I thought. Oh. Ok. No grandkids for me.

But that obviously changed when they sought to find a donor, which is an amazing story in itself. Upshot is that the biological father is also in a same sex marriage, and they worked out to have a woman be a surrogate mom to both father and his mate and they have two girls 6 months older than my oldest, and he also fathered my second grandchild and everyone celebrates birthdays, holidays, sleep overs and such.

So both sets of parents are in "same sex" marriages, and all 4 sisters are all close. It's going to be an interesting life. So I just try really hard to be a good "Nana" and not break too many rules. LOL!
The girls know they have me wrapped around their fingers and play me like a fiddle..

They're aged 6 and 4. I'm heading over their place right now to help out whilr the moms attend a meeting. they also get real fiddles lessons from me!

Good luck!
