My dear, sweet sister-in-law Pam Sanders is the original "Mimi." She chose that grandmother name when her first grandchild Austin was born 6 years ago. A year later, when my first grandchild Tucker was born, I decided to choose the same name. You see, the other grandmother names in use so far were Granny, Nanny, and Grandma so I wanted something different. I had enjoyed hearing Pam being referred to as "Mimi" and thought that would be a good name for me also. Pam is a wonderful grandmother. She has such a gentle, loving spirit about her. So far she has five grandchildren: Austin (6), Layla (4 1/2), Sophie (almost 3), Charlie Dawn (18 mos.), and Isaac (11 mos.)from her three children. Pictured decorating cookies with Mimi are Charlie, Sophie, and Austin. I can take many lessons about the art of being a grandmother from Pam. Not only is she a great "Mimi" but also a wonderful sister-in-law, friend, mother, and wife.
