*Our first Great Grandson was born last Friday after keeping us waiting [he was a fortnight over due]

Samuel Ethan weighed in at 8lbs 15oz [a big boy like his Daddy] both Mum and baby are doing well and we are all delighted and very proud;0))

Samuel’s first picture just two hour old

Brand New Tootsies

At Home now Day 2

During the time we spent waiting for Samuel’s arrival, I spent hours knitting baby clothes for him. we knew he was a little boy so it was safe to choose appropriate colours, here are some pictures of the little baby garments

Note the Blue and White Manchester City hat and scarf, no prizes for guessing his parents are football fans lol

A special Knitted Teddy for Samuel

We are also going to be GreatGrand parents a second time as our Grand Daughter is expecting a little Girl in June, so heres a picture of a little Dolly for her all ready and waiting, the baby clothes are ready too, but will save them for the next very Special event;0)

Me and My Girl;0)

As you can imagine we can’t wait to visit Samuel in the very near future*

Congratulations to you and all your Family....well worth the long wait for him..xxxx

Wonderful news to share with us, Carole. Some squishy, cuddly baby hugs coming soon then once they are all settled in at home and receiving visitors.

You've made some lovely sweaters and hats...I can imagine the teddy when Samuel is a bit older and learns to recognize it as his....how proud you must be to have a great-grandson now and a great-grandaughter on the way in a very few months.

Congratulations.

13 Mar, 2012

Congratulations from me too. I do hope they live not too far away so you can watch him grow. Your knitting needles will be busy for the next couple of years as Samuel and your expected g'grandaughter will grow very fast in such a short space of time. He is a delight. Lucky parents to have a knitter in the family.
