    New life!

    HI all .. as of about 4 hours ago (4.25am UK time), I became a grand-dad for the first time! I confess to a little weep when the news came through. This is the first ever picture (camera phone pic by my son in law used with permission). His name is Henry.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Re: New life!

    A big CONGRATULATIONS to you Mike. Little Henry is about to open up a whole new world for you. My four grandsons are my favorite photographic subjects now that they are a part of my life. I'm betting that Henry will become the same for you.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Congratulations Mike; Henry looks adorable but a very special well done to your daughter and her son; it is the lifetimes achievment.

    Re: New life!

    Thank you everyone for your good wishes

    Henry and mum will be going home later today - they don't keep them in hospital very long these days! Dad has the rest of the week off (he's a police officer) and my wife has next week off, so there will be lots of support.

    Cheers
