Granddaughter 2 bounces into the World.




Here she is Little Miss Elsie Harris, our Granddaughter number 2.
Looking every bit a carbon copy of her sister Nancy 3 years ago.
A quick birth. On Thursday evening Jennifer rang and asked if we could have nancy overnight as they were off to hospital and just as we were packing a bag for Nancy on our way out at 8, they came back home with instructions to 'come back in 12 hours'.
So off we went taking Nancy home with us.
At 6.40am, I answered the phone to Jennifer "Mum we're back from the hospital"
Yes Jaff, I know, we were there when you came home...."
"No Mum We're back WITH THE BABY It's a girl !!"
So we kept Nancy another night, and then went over to say hello to the latest member yesterday.
And of course she is gorgeous. Utterly scrummy. Miss Elsie Harris.
Ben's parents and sister Amy were there already, so it was a nice celebratory get together with champagne and cake. As you can see Ben's Mum Hilary is a nice type, she with the newborn on her knee. Amy is perfect fun loving Aunty material, but I'm not too sure about John, Ben's Dad.....
What do you think ?
Take a look below....
Obviously got his own way of celebrating ! Maybe he lead a sheltered childhood ? I don't know.
No doubt Jennifer will feel up to photos in a day or two.

  1. I gotta love Blogs and the internet. Without it I wouldn't get to enjoy the news of a new family arrival and see photos here in the states. Congratulations to all, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and etc. Thanks for sharing. Love to you all. Is anyone planning a visit to the states any time soon?
