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........

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

These are all great. I shall be on the case soon. ;)

What smashing pics! Thank you all for sharing. They're a handsome bunch of youngsters, too - must be all that fresh veg we feed them on!
Grandma...take it from me; This is going to be a popular thread, well done for kicking it off. Do you think it might do even better placed in the Photo Section under 'Gallery'?
Ken.
this is mine and my son in law, plus Callum , before Matthew ;D
Thanks, Ken - I hope lots of peeps join in - it's wonderful to see everyone's family, isn't it? I'm not sure about moving it to the Gallery, though. At the moment we're all putting in photos but we've all got tales to tell and I'm hoping some little anecdotes and things turn up sometime........xxx

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!
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.
