We Have Joined the Ranks of Grandparenthood!


Yesterday baby Ashley Rose
arrived in this world at 11:32 am
twelve days early!
Do you see her little hand clinging onto Mark's finger?


Despite being so early she weighed in at 7lbs 2oz.
Mother and baby looking serene.


At last a baby girl for me to spoil!

When a very calm Mark phoned
Handy Hubby was of course on the golf course
with his phone turned off.
Harry, who owns the golf course,
happily drove over to the thirteenth hole
to get HH to phone home.
Boy, was he surprised to hear his granddaughter had arrived so suddenly.

The miracle of a new life
that has brought parenthood to a beautiful young couple
and the joy of grandparenthood to us.

    Very big congratulatory hugs to you all! As a very recent first-time grandma I can understand your joy. There is no other love quite like that for a grandchild. Enjoy her, spoil her, and above all love her!

    Penny, that is WONDERFUL news! Absolutely wonderful!! We joined the crowd in February with the safe and early arrival of Oliver Ulysses. As he was NEVER expected to be, he is a VERY special treasure. I am sure you feel the same way out Ashley Rose. Enjoy - and get your spoiling muscles in shape!
