our new grand-daughter

Introducing our first grandchild, Charlotte Rose.  She was born 9 days 'late' at 3.40 am on Tuesday 24th April to our second son Darren and his fiancee Felicity, who already has a 5 yr old girl and a 2 yr old boy.  Charlotte was 10 lb 9 oz (the "old" way of measuring babies still hangs on even though we've had kilos for donkey's years {4.8 kg} - not sure how different that is to the US weights - what does Canada use?)  Anyway as you can see from the photos taken about 14 hours later, she doesn't have that 'newborn' look much at all.  We enjoyed two afternoons of cuddles before we had to leave for the 400 km journey home.  Hopefully we'll see them all again in the next 2-3 weeks.

SARA:  How are your mum and your brother coming along?  I hope she had a good stay in respite while you were away.

JANE:  Thanks for the mention of a couple of different authors.  I'm planning to do a search for them on my Kindle sometime soon.  I've just read the "Hunger Games" trilogy and thought it was a good read, although the theme was quite confronting.

Off to spread the news a bit further LOL
