Gramps and Grace

Gramps and gran came over for a visit from NZ on 5th April. What a blessing, because exactly a year earlier, I'd had a visit from my brother. This year was special though, because the reason for the visit was a little baby. It had been 20 months since I last saw mum and dad and I was looking forward to their visit.

Grace was 5 weeks old when gramps and gran saw her for the first time. What a special occasion.........they cuddled, rocked and shooshed her, changed her diaper and her clothes, they played with her and sang to her. My dad even gave her a special nickname. They also offered the all important grandparent advice. PRICELESS!!!!!!!

This was my folks first trip to Europe and so we decided to make it a special one by hopefully getting them to see as much as they could during their time here. They also had the opportunity of spending a couple of days in Hong Kong and London en route to Brussels.

The youngest member of our family was a real trooper. By the time Grace was 8 weeks old she'd been to Lille; France, Cologne;Germany and did her first overnight stay in Amsterdam.

Thank you daddy and mommy for coming to Brussels to spend time with us.

We miss and love you!!!

Glynn, Robyn and Grace
