The GRANDest handmade GRANDparent Card – custom made by Jill

We could not be more GRANDly excited and happy!

You may remember my bestie Jill’s daughter just had a baby a month ago – the first McHendy GRANDbaby….

Well – now Baby Ben is going to have a McHendy GRAND brother or sister!

And Jill made this GRAND rockin’ card, which she and Todd gave to Marty and I this weekend to go with a GRAND rocking chair for our front porch to rock our new GRANDbaby!

The Happy GRANDpap-to-be, Marty

We went out to dinner to celebrate, and they surprised us with this chair right in the restaurant parking lot!  (We sure have the GRANDest of friends!)

So if you haven’t figured out, I am GRANDly excited!

My Grandma was the greatest role model in my life, and I feel she has prepared me to be a GRAND Grandma.  If I can be only a fraction to our new GRANDbaby of what she was to me, it will be my GRANDest honor.

Cheers & Hugs,
Grandma-to-be, Jodi

  17. Such exciting news! Congratulations!!! I know the feeling and it is truly the best. Our two year old grandson has a sibling growing in our daughter. He doesn’t quite get it, but the rest of us know we get a new baby to love and hold in mid October. I love the rocking chair idea and the card you got! VERY creative!

  38. Wow Congratulations Jodi 🙂 This is indeed a great news 🙂 I used to so ADORE and love my grandparents and used to tell everyone that I love them more than my parents when I was a kid 😛 Growing up, I changed it into equally love them like my parents but still they always have a special place in my heart no one else can occupy 🙂 I am sure you and your wonderful hubby will be awesome grandparents and wishing you the happiest of the moments in this journey ❤
