Our first Grandchild, Nathan Dean will be three weeks old tomorrow. We are still so happy and can hardly believe it. He had a tough entry into the world but is doing really well. Neither Mike (my husband) or myself feel like Grandparents. Well, they say if you keep your mind young!!!!!!!!
We look forward to some wonderful times ahead with him and his Mum (our daughter Becky) and Dad (son-in-law Dean) especially as we waited a long time for him.
Now back to reality. It was Monday again - where do those weekends go? Spent most of the morning hanging around waiting for a new washing machine to be delivered. Our old "Bessie" gave up the ghost after 12 years of continuous service and it was a re-conditioned machine to start with!!!! If white goods could earn medals then I guess she deserved one. She is now standing out in the back garden along with all her packing. Looks like a phone call to the Council as it will never fit in the car to go to the local tip.
After the usual round of other chores I finally got the washing done at 4.30 p.m. Luckily the weather was good and yes, it did dry.
Am waiting for re-actions from relatives I have sent a copy of the family tree to. Only one branch of the family completed in "book" form so far. Isn't it amazing how you can ask and ask people for information, they promise it and never deliver but as soon as they get wind that the project (or the part that features them) is finished - there they are standing with their hands out! Not that I wanted any payment for the research but it cost quite a bit to get each copy "bound" so to speak and the postage was enormous as some were going abroad. It would have been nice if some offers had been made towards that cost.
The people who were not forthcoming with information about themselves will no doubt moan now that there is not enough about them in there. You just can't win can you??
Well, I guess I have wittered on enough for today. (makes mental note to self -I must remember to update this journal) and now dear readers, as Zebedee said "Time for bed"

Love this idea!!! It's a nice way to keep in touch with friends and family. Nothing better than sharing your happiness with others!
Lovely lovely. Congratulations. What a dear little boy. Thanks for sharing the pictures so we can see what you are talking about. Best wishes.
Jeannette,
This entry was put up as new by my feedreader, and it threw me initially. Until I noticed the date of posting, more than 4 years ago now. I hope all is going well with Nathan these days :-)
