So cool! I love that you and your wife intend to stay close to your grands.  That is my ideal model of the family: grandparents, parents, grandkids. Stable, solid.  The children get twice the love.  It's my goal to see that enacted across our nation. We've been conned into thinking the nuclear family is normal -- it's not.  It's a trick to get us to move to the cities and leave our support behind. To break down the family and make us dependent on the state. The multi-generational family is the healthiest model. That's how I grew up and I highly recommend it. Kudos to you!
