Please allow me to explain how we got our grandparents names.
"Sir" started b/c a few older ladies at church wanted to know what his grandfather name was going to be. If you know Steve well, you know that his dry humor can be perfect for settings such as these..so his answer was "Grandfather or Sir." These same ladies came to me and wanted to make sure that he was NOT going to have his grandchildren call his Sir. I played along with it b/c I knew that Steve was going to answer to anything they chose to call him. The day of KK's birth, Shana's MIL handed this tiny babe to Steve saying "Here Sir, hold your granddaughter." Well it stuck! You ought to hear these darlings call for their Sir! It is sweet music!
"DeeDee" was my choosen name b/c that was what I called my grandmothers. My DeeDee Wood loved me unconditionally and I knew it from an early age. Besides that, it's an easy name for a 1 yr old to say.
So now you know the history behind DeeDee and Sir.
