On Monday evening I had a ‘phone call from my eldest grandson, Callum. Were we doing anything the next day? I confirmed that our day was clear so he said he and Kat would come and see us. This was to be our first meeting with Melia, our youngest great-grandchild.
They arrived mid-morning. They live about 1½ hours away, a distance of about 70 miles. Travelling during the summer holidays is much easier and their journey was trouble-free. Melia slept all the way. She is five months old and such a smiley, happy baby, with big, dark blue eyes. She has made tremendous progress since her heart operation in May and is really well and strong.
Susannah and Melia
It was lovely
to see them all. Susannah took a break from work and popped round to see them
and have a cuddle with Melia. Babies don’t stay small for very long. She is
already rolling and teeth are imminent. We shall see big changes the next time
we meet.
Gilbert was most interested - his first baby!
It is amazing to see the new generation grow up. Melia is adorable.

ReplyDeleteIt was lovely because unexpected.
DeleteOh my goodness, a first baby for your grandson, I hope he doesn't turn mad like my son who was the best helicopter in the world to turn around this miracle ! Meanwhile the "miracle" is 12, taller than me 1.70m and sends his helicopter Dad to hell because he prefers going out with his friends. Poor Dad !
ReplyDeleteParents have their uses and things turn around.
DeleteShe is exceptionally adorable and it’s great to learn that her health is good following her tough start in life. May she grow up strong and resolute and go on to do great things. We need good leaders now more than ever and they are in short supply.
ReplyDeleteGood leaders are certainly in short supply, or else hiding their light under a bushel.
DeleteSuch a beautiful child. How lovely.
ReplyDeleteShe's got lovely parents, so is very fortunate.
DeleteMelia is absolutely darling, such a pretty little girl and best of all healthy.
ReplyDeleteHealth is to be prized always.
