We love grandparents....

Emily loves her grandparents. She is lucky enough to have all four and to get to see them fairly regularly, despite them not living in Glasgow. In recent weeks she has seen all of them for full weekends each so she is now topped up with her grandparent-loveliness once again. She even gets to say good night to their pictures on our wall so she can remember them when they are not visiting her.

First off was a weekend with Nana and Baba Gedik, and the other Gediks (minus the Gurneys due to an unfortunate 'slapcheek' incident). She had a great time out in the fresh air, being amused by all the family, and even went swimming which she loved too. Nana and Baba did her proud by playing and looking after her so Mummy and Daddy could catch up on some sleep. They did their job so well in fact, that we didn't even have to take her out before she nodded off to dreamland...

Not even time to zip up the suit before she crashed out

Next up was a weekend visit from the grand old Rookes, and Emily again tried to be her normal delightful self, despite the snow and Glasgow's best blustery conditions. Grandad and Grandma helped out in great style by baby-sitting whilst we finished off the sale of our flat in Exeter Drive. More invaluable grandparently help...

Emily tries to return the force - but you can't teach an old dog new tricks!

So all in all weekends with the grandparents are a big hit. Clearly Emily would like to thank all four of you for the love you show her - I know this because she told me, and obviously her parents would also like to thank you for the help and support you give to them too. So I guess that's why we love grandparents...

Thank you Grandad and Grandma/Nana and Baba xxx
