Then there were 9! Introducing our newest grandchild-Katelyn May. Katelyn is the third child of our daughter Rachael and her husband Ben-she is sister of Elijah and Thomas.

Born on Thursday May 7th ( a little early), she weighed in at a healthy 7lb 6oz-which by our normal family birth weights is quite teeny! :)

Her shares her middle name with my mother, her great-grandmother. :) My mum made the dress Katelyn is wearing 32 years ago as part of a layette when I was expecting my first baby. Many other babies over the years have worn the cardigan, booties and shawl from the layette-but the only other to have worn the dress was Katelyn's mum.

9 grandchildren in 8.5 years! Cristian & I wouldn't have believed it 10 years ago if you had told us that we would have 9 grandchildren to love & cherish!

It's been a year since I last updated this blog-and it's been quite a year!

Introducing our newest grandchild (#8)-our 6th grandson, Kayden Oliver born 18th March and weighing in at 10lb 4oz. He is the son of our daughter Chloe and her fiancé, Brent. Big sister Isabelle is thrilled with her new brother. :)

 

Grandchild #9 is due in a few weeks. :)
