Congratulations, James!  (and Carol!)

I am, however, incapable of advising you on the matter of proper
title.  My husband's parents made up their own titles which we are
teaching our son, following their family tradition.  My husband's
maternal grandmother made up her title because she was too young to be
a grandmother and didn't want to be called one yet.

However, I am almost sure that you will be an indulgent and
benevolently chuckling representative of whatever title you decide to
confer upon yourself.  I don't think you can avoid doing otherwise!
;-p

So, congratulations again James!

visit for a week to see their 7.5 month old grandson because October
18th was too long to wait to see him again
