Ben is sixtysomething and is still adjusting to retirement and being a grandfather. Often caught in the middle of all the action, he'd much rather be napping or watching tv.

Olivia - or 'Liv, as Ben likes to call her - is a strong, active woman who loves getting involved and spending time with her grandchildren. She's looking forward to the future and trying new things (that is, if she can get Ben off the couch).
Patty, their daughter, has 2 children, Nicholas and Michael, with husband Nathan. She works part-time, he works at home. Juggling careers and family, they hope to one day have enough time to actually enjoy it all.
