I've been up staying with Son and Daughter-in-Law, assisting with the baby so that they could catch up on some sleep. She is, naturally, very adorable. Here she is with the cot quilt that I made two years ago in the hope that one day, a suitable recipient would come along.
Daughter 2 came to visit and presented Baby M with the blanket she's been working on.
Isn't it nice?
Baby M's big sisters seem remarkably unperturbed.
The sun shone on us.
Then I came home and Grandson drew a picture of me. "I need white chalk for your hair, Granny." Gee, thanks, Grandson. I like to think that my hair is grey with brown bits, but I suppose chalk doesn't come in that colour. "One of your hands is rubbing your tummy." Yes, I can see that.
How I miss Baby M, with her so-soft little cheeks, big puzzled dark blue eyes, quiet snuffles and questing mouth. I'm so sad that she's far away. But I missed the others when I was up there with her. And yes, I do know that I'm lucky to have grandchildren at all.
Congratulations on the arrival of another wonderful grandchild x
ReplyDeleteShe is a darling! Did you make the quilt in the first photo? May you have more wonderful grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute and you did such a pretty job on the quilt - hand-quilting and all! As did DD1 - how fun to have another visitor. I can hardly wait until we see pictures of her playing with N and L. And one must ask - do you frequently rub your tummy in the presence of grandson LOL???
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky to have such bright, beautiful grandchildren. We have none, nor shall we ever, but I always enjoy hearing about yours.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Lovely quilt, lovely blanket and lovely baby.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have 5 distinct fingers on your left hand.( never mind the hair colour )
Frankly, I am envious of your grandchildren because I'm doubting that I will have them.Beautiful baby, quilt and blanket. Congrats to your family and you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're finally there - a "multiple granny!" Or does "a granny of many" sound better? Isn't it nice when wishes come true?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely that your quilt has happily found its home.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone. x
And I also love the knit blanket ...What a creative, accomplishing family you are!
ReplyDeletePretty baby with pretty quilt and blanket. In no time at all she too will be drawing your portrait on a blackboard.
ReplyDeleteJust LOVELY! So nice to have family that makes such nice gifts! I understand about being far away... mine is 9 hours away! He grows incredibly between our scarce visits!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new babies, lovely handcrafted blankets, smiling family, sleeping cats, artwork by children. My idea of the perfect blogpost!
