Congratulations to the entire family and its members ....

Surely you won't ever run out of photo opportunities with this kind of family additions.

Any idea of the gender of "it" ?

Thanks All.

Bjørn - it's a girl - Lily

They stay 1700km from me (in Pretoria) so no - plenty opportunities there won't be.  I managed to get only about 10 pics when I was up there with them for 4 days - thats it.

I guess the name of the photo is a good hint.

Congratulations Elsa! I hear grand-children are a blessing: the joy without the hassle...

Reminds me of "Newborn" by Constantin Brancusi, my favorite sculptor.  Congrats, Elsa!

While one can give them back to the parents - the worry about them you can never give back.  And one does worry about the kids.

Well wether you like it or not Lily will always call you Grandma.  ;D

She is very cute! It has taken me 70 years to get the same hair do as her!

Do I detect frequent flyer status approaching?
