I had a phone call from my son Simon yesterday to say he was bringing our new Great Grandson and his family to visit us, we were so excited as baby Samuel is two and a half months old now and its the very first time we have seen him.
Samuel didnt come alone! he also brought his Mum and Dad, His Grandad and Grandmother plus their two children and his Aunty Laura, all were very welcome even though there was a shortage of seating lol and my cakes baked especially for them soon disappeared!
Samuel was so good all afternoon and I got to cuddle and feed him. There was lots of laughter and sharing of news and a very busy but enjoyable afternoon;0)
Just a few pictures now to share with you.
Samuel and His Proud Great Grandparents
He is All Mine!
A very Happy Great Grandad!
Hello Everyone

Aunty Laura [also having a little one of her own in two weeks time]
Mum and Dad taking a back seat!
All too Soon the Visit was over and its time to say goodbye [until the next time]
Hope you enjoyed this little visit too;0)

I'm glad you all had such a wonderful day Carole ,Samuel is a little cutie a very special day to treasure and so much more to look forward to when it's Laura's turn .... you will need an extention when they all arrive with buggy and cots :o)) I think it's lovely that the two cousins will grow up in the same age group, I wonder who they will call on to baby sit ??

Its grand to see happy family photo`s, memory makers for the future, he is a bonny lad Pansy, I,m pleased you were able to have a get together, it never matters about how many seats one has, its being all together that counts, we used to play musical chairs, lol....

Pleased you have seen the blog Sandra, it was a lovely afternoon and Sam was as good as gold and so cuddly, I havent got round to printing any pictures off yet but I will, just think the next time we see him he will be bringing his little cousin with him, two babies and lots more cuddles ;0)

Harry looked very happy to cuddle Sam too..they are so precious,aren't they ? ...Thomas is starting to assert himself more now..his Daddy had to be really firm with him one day,when Alison was at work..but he was obviously testing him,to see how far he could go...
Daddy 1,Thomas 0 ! lol....
31 May, 2012
Good for Daddy! far to easy to give in then rue the day, we have all been there haven't we lol!
1 Jun, 2012
Lol,we will have to do the same..not easy when that little face stares at you ! ..:o)
2 Jun, 2012
I will swallow my words when Samuel is a little older and starts to show that little face of innocence, wonder what Great Nana will do then ? LOL ;0))
2 Jun, 2012
You will just try and stifle a smile,Carole..with both of them ! you will be outnumbered,so no chance if they are both there together..:o)
