Above Samantha in ballet
Down in North Carolina what do you do when you don't have snow? you use the fake kind! Samantha and Eliana
Well that is Aila for you! Always clowning around!
Alyssa loves playing with Evan.
You have to agree they are a bunch of good looking kids! Ted said this week: "After I look at our grandchildren, everything else seems like crap! (TV, material things, etc) Hahaha! He is only a little bit bias.

He may be?? bias, but he is also VERY wrong, unfeeling and ignorant.
I am sure most grandparents would think the same about their own grandchildren, but would never refer to others in such unkind terms.
I agree with the above. Apart from your family, others would not agree with his grandchildren being that great. In fact, some of them, to outsiders, are not that cute. Maybe they look like their grandfather.
I am sammie I am a grll I do not lick you. you do not tip menn to my Oma. STOP tiping MENN

Obviously, you don't know the Decock sense of humor. Lighten up!!
Sjees I never had so many comments, I should nasty more often.
OOPS, I made a mistake because of all the excitement, I meant to say: "I should be nasty more often"
I guess the decock sense of humour is insulting other people.
If it is really funny, it is not at anyone else's expense.
Also it is ok for the decock's to call other people "Crap" and someone else is accused of speaking mean to oma? Seems to me the wrong person is being accused here.
You got it right when you said being nasty
Anonymous, I know you live in Ontario. Hahaha, got ye!
Too far away to be a friend so I take your comments with a great sense of humour.
And I still think my children and grandchildren are the best. They all are God's gift to this universe.
And.... you are allowed to think that of your ofspring as well, go ahead.
If you do, really do than my blog would not make you write anonymous comments.
I can see you completely miss the point so this will be the last. Yes, we all think our own children and grandchildren are the best, but we do not, and should not, refer to anyone else, child, grandchild etc. as crap. This is totally unacceptable and not at all humorous.
I am anonymous because I do not have a blog.

It's a joke.
Whats funny is the fact that everyone thinks their child is beautiful...even when they are not. (I look back at my daughter's photo hours after brith and think "oh..wow..she was not actually that cute right then...in fact she was awfully funny-looking, but I recall being in awe of her beauty!!)
This statement from this Opa is cute because of how fiercely in love with his grandchildren this man is. (no matter what they look like) I think his statement is actually beautiful...in a world that is short on Fathers who would lay down their lives for their kids.
This man is one of those.
Every parent prefers their own child...it's nature. I love how much Ted loves allll his grandkids.
If you KNEW him, and the size of his heart, and how much he has spent his life for others, (even perfect strangers) you'd wouldn't DARE have said what you said.
I find it surprising that you would say something cruel like "Maybe they look like their grandfather." after just blasting him for a joke.
YOUR comment was mean and NOT made in jest.
I think you're a jerk. Find another blog to read
ps...Anonymous
Thanks to the IP search...we know who you are. :(
...and I am saddened
We can safely say that Ted's grandchildren are better looking than some anonymous commenters...
With love:
Merry christmas wishes

It is everyTHING not everyone.
And to think that all of this happened because of offense.
We could sure do without offense and have a few less gray hair to sport.
Merry Christmas to everyone! May we all feel His wonderful presence this Christmas season. Oh how we need HIM!
Lynne IS right.
The COWARD Anonymous either cannot read or is so materialistic that they cannot discern the difference between THINGS and CHILDREN.
Dear Anonymous, A child is not a thing. If you could read, you would have noticed that Ted said:
"After I look at our grandchildren, everything else seems like crap!"
People should take president over things. Only a complete fool would place THINGS above precious children.
Learn to read, MORON!
Let me correct myself...
People should take "presidence" over things. Only a complete fool would place THINGS above precious children.
You obviously missed the original blog. In that blog it was CLEARLY stated that other people's GRANDCHILDREN looked like crap in comparison to his. They have changed the wording but I agree that only a fool would make the origianl statement or even repeat it.
oy vey Trudi! hehehehe what have you started! You tell Opa I want to know how his grandchildren can be the best, when MY CHILDREN are so very obviously waaaaaaayyyyy cuter and smarter so obviously their grandparents think THEY are the BEST
ps. take a chill-pill Anonymous!
Why was the comment deleted?
Do you not want the truth of your cruel remarks to be known to others?
Or hopefully you realize how cruel those words were to others.

... but you REPEATED the quote within your comment! So that makes you a ...
Anyway, we can see that this has been a complete waste of time so we will drop it. You are hiding what was the cause of all this.
Just to let you know, there is NO reason or excuse for anyone to ever refer to anyone, let alone little children, in such a cruel way. There is not much worse than being referred to as "crap" which was what they were compared to. If you see humour or a laugh in this, how sad. If what Ted really said was what you have posted now, that would have been totally acceptable. I am sure that you would have been equally upset if your children or grandchildren had been told they looked like crap.
THE END
THE END?
wow...you are sooooo powerful, Anonymous.
By they way...you know...you can just type your name at the end of your post even if you don't have a blog. It's easy. So why be anonymous?
And I really really hope this isn't G or C. (from the B family)
Oh yes...
And if you must know...my Mom's first language is NOT English. You will notice by her typos and way of speaking in her sentances. My Dad corrected her after the blog and said "Schat (honey in dutch) you wrote it wrong....i said this" And she said "That's what I wrote!" and when they looked, she saw that her re-typing of the quote was incorrect.
But I'm sure you don't care about that...you've already decided that a 77 year old ill Dutch man and his very enthusiastic 68 year old Dutch wife are jerks.
Please don't be G or C....I don't believe Trudy would ever recover from that...
The angry Anonymous is a great example of something being crap!
...to expend all this energy on a family blog written by a grandmother to her kids spread abroad?
Take your politically correct crap somewhere else...
Go protest the ten commandments or the endangered habitat of the blue speckled nat.
