A sweet new baby

We have a darling new baby in our family and very excited to welcome Isla Jasmine, my nephew David and Renee's sweet baby girl.
Life is filled with the sweetest of blessings.

The lovely thing is our newest, precious member of our family was born on the 9th of March.
This was the birth day of my dearest late Father,  so a very auspicious and happy day for the family.
My Mother is now a Great Grandmother for the first time, so such a thrill for her  being able to cuddle her new Great grand-baby.


I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend -  yesterday we had a lovely day in the City and DD came back with us for the weekend. Tonight she is cooking Sunday night dinner for us, so I am feeling very lucky and the smells wafting upstairs are delightful. Many thanks V.

Wishing you the sweetest of life's blessings.
Hugs
Carolyn
