Hi All,

Having Grandchildren is one of my greatest joys and also of of my saddest regrets for obvious reasons… but saying that I have a range of ages.

Starting with Becky with Matthew at 16 in March 6' 2'', an intelligent, good looking boy, who has a lovely, slightly dry sense of humour, is caring and sharing, loves his Mums and plays the guitar like a pro (my influence and unashamedly proud of it… if pride comes before a fall then bring it on). 😎

Kirstin and Andy gave us Alfie who will be 7 in May… way too intelligent but so grounded, a joy and a half. His sister Edith, 5 in April (born 2 days before I was first diagnosed with secondary bone cancer, primary unknown) Such heights of joy followed by a life's best low, now that definitely is life. 😛

Edith is a throwback… absolutely gorgeous of course… but her Mum and Dad are both solicitors… well Kirstin is a Charity and Trusts specialist in a Nottingham City firm but Andy is rather a big shot in commercial and contracts law for Boots, taking him hither and thither, Switzerland, Monaco, Chicago and Milan last year, nice work if you get it etc., but both of them are very grounded people and it's easy to see where Alfie gets it from… but Edith? Since her first steps and words (one followed the other in a space of 2 weeks) she has been all Peppa Pig, fairies, princesses, ballet, everything pink and flowery and as girlie girl as it is possible to imagine. She loves to sidle up and start telling you a 'made up' story with big pink beginnings which eventually trail off as she runs out of either words… or pink. I am besotted by her.:-D

Ross and Kelly started with Owen who weighed in 3 years ago in March and now he has a brother… Ethan James. Matthew is in Mansfield, 20 miles away, a hop, skip and jump. Alfie and Edith are 4.45 miles way… a hop… but Owen and Ethan are in Kent – Isle of Sheppey and so until they are able to travel up (end of April) we are tied to Skype, which is absolutely brilliant but not quite the real thing. I want to be able to smell Ethan before the new baby aroma fades away. If the treatment starts working to the point where I feel up to it we hope to travel down for a couple of weekdays before then… we will have to wait and see. 😎

Family ramble over. 🙂

Regards

Dai.

Dai The "Family Ramble" was great to read 😀 and I know what you mean re the "New Baby Smell"

Hi Tom,

I realised that I have Face-Time on my main Mac… I will check it out and set it up… it will be interesting to see who in the family have got it already. Thanks for the reminder.8-)

Dai.

[tomParticipant]

Not a Problem Dai, our Grandkids have all got something or another that gets "Face Time" so when we want to contact any of them we use there Ipoddy/paddie thing.

Awww what lovely news to read. Congratulations to all of you with your new arrivals and older grandchildren. I'm too young for them yet…so I tell my kids 😉 hehe! I hope to get them one day and be as happy as all of you.

Take care all of you and enjoy those little bundles of joy!

Hi Jean,
Just had to say I love your new photo! I can't wait to have a similar one taken but will have to wait until treatment is over to go to Canada for that. My daughter says I should come now and stay with Beatrix in the Neo-natal unit then I would be with her, be infection free and still have treatment. Not sure my bank balance would be able to stand that! Hope Angela is OK now and everyone is just enjoying the new man in their lives.
Love Pat

Hi Pat

Angela is great now. Thanks for asking. Little Ben is just lovely a bit jaundiced but doing well.

Pat it is a pity that you can't be with Beatrix. Although we have 5 grand children the only one born here in Northern Ireland is wee Ben. Grand daughters were born in England so we were not around to see them developing, it's only with Ben that we realised what we missed. We now have one of our other sons back home with his wife and Maddy who is 2 and a handful. They are staying with us – have been for three months – but move into their house 1 march.

Hope wee Beatrix goes from strength to strength and you get to see the new wee family soon

Take care
Love Jean xd

[PatGParticipant]

Beatrix came home today! And what is more I had a most wonderful 30 minutes on face time with my daughter Jess cuddling her at home. I just wanted to reach out and hug them both. So nice to see them out of a hospital environment. On cycle 5 VCD now so only 3½ more to go before I can go to Canada!
Keep well everyone
Pat

[jmsmythParticipant]

Pat that is great news. I'm sure you are over the moon and of course the proud parents 🙂 Face time is brilliant we do it all the time with grand children in Kent. Only thing is – they face time me at times when I have just finished the house work and look like I have been dragged through a hedge 😀

Cyber hugs and kisses to wee Beatrix. Roll on the rest of the Velcade and you can make plans to visit your wee bundle of joy

Love Jean xx

[tomParticipant]

Hi Pat
Aww am pleased Beatrix is home I bet you are all over the moon.
Face time is great but getting some of the grandkids to sit back a little is bloomin hard work ha ha, lets get thos other 5 out of the way and get yesen off to canada.

And Jean am sure you could never look like you have been dragged through a hedge 😀

Love to you and all yours this cold monday

Tom xx
