Chiara meeting Frankie

Awww...cuties :)))

Lovely Photo,Sheila..Chiara is the big girl now,looking after Frankie..and you can get carried away anytime,it's lovely to see them :o) x

Many thanks Michaella and Sandra :))

What a lovely picture Sheila,,beautiful children, what a lot of hair Frankie has.You can get carried away as much as you like!!:-)

Thanks Gralew! According to my son, Francesca is the 'spit' of Chiara who also had plenty of hair when she was born. Mike is blonde by the way, so these are Gabriella's genes :)

Is Gabriella italian Sheila?

Well spotted Gralew! Gabbi has lived in Oz since she was a baby . . . her Italian parents moved to Adelaide from L'Aquila to start a dairy farm, leaving behind a huge extended family. When Mike brought Gabriella over to meet us, they stopped off in Italy for Gabbi to meet all the relatives she'd never seen!

Aah... how nice!

That's a beautiful picture, Sheila! I'm not surprised you get carried away.

Thanks Tuesday - it's great that my lovely d-in-law sends us lots of pics :)

Of COURSE you get carried away! Our second grandchild is due on May 1st. It's hard to believe I'll be as besotted as I am with William (now 20 months) but I know I shall be!

:))))))) thanks Mel!

A beautiful photo. You must feel very proud indeed :-)

A lovely photo Sheila ,you can get carried away as much as you like you can see the look on Chiara face she is already besotted :o)

Thank you Chris and Amy . . . they are sweeties, aren't they?! No - I'm not biased!! We're just going to have to take the plunge and put up with one of those 22 hour flights . . . maybe sometime later this year :)

That will be something lovely to look forward to Sheila :o))

True Amy, and I'm pretty sure our son wants to show off his beautiful girls :))

Oh Sheila what a beautiful pic. somehow missed this one. Aren't grandchildren a blessing?

Thank you Gill . . . I'm sure there's plenty I miss :) Yes, it's certainly fun being a gran!

Beautiful baby boy Sheila! And Chiara has grown so quickly, how lovely, and a great help to Mum I bet too....:))

I'm sure you're right, Janey, thanks! Yes, Chiara seems to like her little sister - sorry, 'Frankie' is short for Francesca, but I love the nickname :))

Very beautiful and precious Babies, you should be very proud to show some pictures of your grandkids, Shiela, Give my hugs to Chiara , she's already Big Sister now to Frankie :-)))

That's very sweet of you Junna - wish I could give hugs to Chiara but sadly she lives in Australia :(

Ohh, still, very happy of the photos, very special, Shiela :-)))
