We are grandparents!!!!
















As you can see finally the "wiggly" has appeared, it might still wiggle, but it now cries (I assume) sleeps (I know), sucks milk (I also know) and is generally very cute. We heard yesterday and were very pleased. Alex and Meaghan are together with him in hospital until Monday and the stream of visitors has already started. Shame we will not see him until October, but it should be a memorable visit (we hope!).

They named him Callum Alexander, he weighed in at a fraction over 6lb (2.70kg for you continentals) and he is incredibly cute, but then again I am biased. Alex has already posted not just pictures, but a video on Facebook as well. I might post that video here later, if the download allows it. We are away at the World Championships, so my computing is not without its troubles.

Will post as and when I get further news. Hopefully we can have a proper "wet the baby's head" party tonight, last night we were both so knackered that it didn't materialise.

CONGRATULATIONS BOTH YOU GRAMPS!!!
I am afraid I have developed into GRUMP!!!! Just so tired - 4 trips to Cairns in 6 days. Melissa was rushed to Cairns Base Hospital last Friday with Pancreatitus (god only knows if thats the correct spelling). She is to have her gallbladder removed ASAP (hopefully end of next week.
Once again congrats - make the most of it - they grow up very quickly.
Love Rosemary.
