So, Zephirine, where are the pictures of the baby ? ... so said Maggi to Zephirine after she returned from visiting the newest member of her family.....
So, I  thought I'd open a page to gather these cute kids together!

Don't you let me start on this subject, Maggi, I just couldn't stop!  ;D
Here are just 2 pictures....
May I tell you a secret? I think this gal's going to be a fair gardener some day: while her parents are of the "marmot" type (late to bed and late to rise), she's already at the best of her mood early in the morning, like her Granny, and we spent many an early hour together, talking with our hands and smiles...we're going to be a sweet pair of accomplices, I'm absolutely sure!!!!
Ain't she the sweetest and cutest little seedling ever on earth?

Oh, yes, that is one cute baby! She has a kind of determined look, too, so that proves she will be a gardener, doesn't it?  :)  She is Naelle, is that right?

I've got daughters of 32 and 26 and a son of 29 and none of them are doing their bit to prolong the species and more to the point none of them are the slightest bit interested :'(

Now, David, that gives you three more chances of being a Grand parent than I've got  :-[
I think I'd be a pretty good Granny but I've well and truly missed that boat! :-\ :o
Now you can see why I am so devoted to our little dog...... Poor little Lily has to work very hard around here to be a pet, a companion and a baby substitute... and she is very good at all her tasks!  :D

Nah! Just go and enjoy the view of it! Nice bridge, I have never seen it in real life. Well, I suppose I mean nice pic of bridge, really... beautiful sky like that will make any bridge look good!

Hush, little Grandpa-to-be :
My son (-Naelle's father) is 33 1/2 today.
When he was 32, he would not even hear about having children!
Life is full of surprises, and when it decides to give you one, it can get pretty fast!  ;D
Just after his 32nd birthday, in April 2006, he was offered a super-job in Sweden...we got to organize a wedding in 3 weeks, so that his girlfriend could follow him...and there...as DDIL didn't speak a word of swedish...no possibility for her to get a job immediately...I think you guess the rest of the story! ;D ;D ;D
Zephirine, still bewildered!

What gorgeous hair! Maybe not from Mick's side of the family but at least he has some, unlike some others whom we shan't mention.

David, not allowed a dog? Who is the man in your household and who the mouse? Or maybe you don't need a dog because you're already leading a dog's life? Assert yourself man!
