blood ties

yesterday was a fun day. i drove through to dailly.
my son, the new dad, was balancing on a tall and wobbly ladder
washing their front windows.
the south african granny was due to fly into prestwick
in the afternoon.
after a cup of coffee and a ham and cheese roll, michelle
loaded young daniel into his rather oversized (for him anyway!)
car seat and off we drove to saltcoats.
i sat in the back with daniel, in case he fretted, but ...
like me, the boy tends to doze off in the car ;-)
this would be the first time daniel met his five cousins,
joshua, mairin, alaska, liam and savannah.
the latest addition managed to totally ignore this
auspicious occasion and slept right through the introductions
and the honour of being held in wonderment by each and every
cousin! there are photos ... i will try and get them uploaded
to my computer.
coffee and tea for the grown ups, coca cola for the kids and
yummy celebratory fairy cakes made by auntie nikki.
then, off to glasgow prestwick airport to pick up ouma. it
was fantastic to see her face light up at the sight of her
newest grandson!
on my way home i stopped at the chippie in girvan and treated
myself to a fish supper... yum!
family ... who would we be without them ...
