I'm an ex googler but not out of the engineering side so I can't comment on exactly what their current norm is. In general, this is a pretty typical offer for Google for a mid range employee, what outside of engineering they'd call an E5 or E6. Usually their salary & GSUs are negotiable, but not by much. Google does't pay a ton in general, and as others have mentioned, if you have a family on this salary with the potential that your wife can't work, things might be a stretch in the Bay Area. However, working for Google is an amazing experience. You're not going to retire early on the money you make. You'll have to balance your needs against the potential for future gains with Google on your resume. I'm sure the experience would be positive in many areas, but you shouldn't expect much more from them.
