I think my DS is one of the luckiest little boys in the world. He has all his grandparents and all his great-grandparents. Yes, the full set! For the whole time I've known DH I've been telling people that as a couple we have all 8 of our grandparents (4 sets, 2 sets each). I've never met another person with all 4, let alone another couple with all 8.
All the grandparents and 6 (3 sets) of great -grandparents live in Sydney and we see them often. The other set of great-grandparents live in the UK and we talk and write to them often. I took DS over to meet them when he was 7 moths old so I have photos of him with them too.
We had a birthday party for DS today (he was 1 yesterday) and I have another lovely photo with all of us (parents, grandparents and 6 great-grandparents) lined up around him. The other 2 great-grandparents rang him last night and he said "egh, ba, vm" to them and then blew a raspberry. I don't think I will ever get a photo of all 8 of them together as they are all too old to travel now (but it's amazing what you can do with photoshop).
Oh and I should add, we're not early breeders, we're just long lived. They're all in their 80's.
Anyone else got lots of grandparents? Anyone else with the full set?
