Poppy's New Adventure - The First Year - 2012: Single Grandparent Raising Two Toddlers

Hi, my name is Steve, but I'm Poppy to my six grandchildren. In 2009 our two youngest grandchildren, Kaleb and Kenzie, came to live with my wife, Diane (Nanna), and me. In 2010 Diane was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and she was gone from our lives eight months later. Now I'm a single (grand)parent with two toddlers trying to find a "new normal." I blog about my adventures in (grand)parenting two young children, Kaleb and Kenzie, at Poppy's New Adventure (www.popsna.com). Now, the blog comes to print. The first year of our adventures that are posted on the blog are included in this edition. So, join me on this adventure as I navigate through the toddler years with Kaleb and Kenzie. Along the way, maybe our stories will make you laugh (or cry sometimes) and maybe you can offer some advice. And maybe every now and then, you can whisper a prayer for us!
