I love having the kids over it's just that their energy wears me out. And I don't think that I would mix newborn puppies and little kids! They both take too much energy!!!

Oh I know, I'll be so excited when the first one comes for sure (it just better be awhile.) I just don't know if I'll have the patience for too long at a time. Seems like the older I get, the less patience I have...LOL I never use to have patience at all and then when my son came along, everyone was shocked at how much patience I really did have. As long as he teaches them how to behave, I will love having grandchildren.

I must have been wore out. I took a 2 hr nap yesterday afternoon, then fell asleep on the couch before 9 last night... got up after 9 this morning and still took a 2 hr nap again this afternoon!
I should soon be well rested, don't ya think?

Can't imagine what it would be like to have grandchildren. It won't be anytime soon, though, I'm sure. Both our girls have quite a bit of education to get out of the way and things to do before settling down with children. Women in our family tend to wait a while, even after marriage, which I believe is a good thing. Gives you time to adjust to being married before bringing those energetic little people into the mix.

When the time is right, though, I'm sure they will be incredible....and probably a tad spoiled, by us at least.

I agree with that Marilyn. My dd was 26 when she had her first, 31 when she had the second. I was glad she'd waited that long.
