Title: Our kids
Post by: Grandma on January 21, 2008, 00:24:54
Just thought I'd try starting a thread for all us parents, grandparents and great-grandparents to talk about/show pics of our youngsters. (We already do it for 'Our Pets'  :))

Anyone's welcome to drop in, of course, but the subject title should warn those not interested in kid's stuff to leave us to enjoy 'sharing' our lovely families!

To start the ball rolling........

These are my three gorgeous (IMO!) grandsons. The pic was taken 12 Jan 08 at the hovercraft terminal on the Isle of Wight after a wild session at the ice rink!

Please join in with your pics/stories/anything of interest!  :) :) :)

That's one fabulous smile, Manics!

Looks like it's only the two of us sharing our lovely family pics but please keep them coming! Here's one of my special favourites - I just love it!

This is a pic of two of my grandsons explaining the complexities of one of their Christmas presents to their Great Granddad - (my 93 year old Dad!) - I'm so glad I snapped it, I shall treasure it forever. xxx

Georgie and I have exchanged several photos of Alyssa and Chloe-Anne. I have listed Alyssa's photos as Friend (A4A) Grandaughter. I could just imagine when I am no longer here my lot looking through my photos and scratching their heads and asking "Whose baby is this one!! :)"
This photo is of our children John, Lorna, Vickie and Alyson taken at our 50Th wedding anniversary Sept 2002  3 months before Charlie died.

How lovely! Thanks all for sharing  :-*

I had a smashing day yesterday. My brother is over in the UK from South Africa to see our dear old Dad and we all had a 'family day' with my daughter, her partner and her two boys. (Any excuse for a get-together!)

Highlight of the day - especially for the 'old fogies' - (my Dad and me) - was a Skype link-up with my son who is currently in Goa on an advanced computer course. It was absolutely amazing to be able to see and talk to him in real time and very special for him - (all alone in his hotel room!) - to have four generations of his family all talking and waving to him and wishing him well from back home! All this high-tec stuff baffles me - but how small it makes the world seem!

So special to see my 'baby' - (he's 41!) - across the miles!   
Title: Re: Our kids
Post by: lorna on February 26, 2008, 20:16:25
Agree Grandma makes the world seem much smaller. Glad you had a great day. My nephew in Kent has 2 sons and 2 Grandsons in Australia and although he and his wife go out
once or twice a year it is so lovely when they see and speak to them .

This is a little different- one of our grandchildren named Peter playing the piano after only two years of lessons. He had a wonderful teacher. I hope you enjoy the music! He loves the piano and playing for people.
