Grandpa rules... again!
Granddaughters Abbie, Amy... and the newly arrived Isla.
Joyous times rule the White household once again! I just heard that my youngest daughter Anna gave birth to a beautiful baby girl today in England! She's my third granddaughter (yes, those White genes are famously female driven!) and it seems to me that she is as beautiful as the other two... Abbie and Amy. It'll be a while yet before I can see any of them in the flesh, unfortunately. But for the time being the photos my oldest daughter Sarah sent me of the joyous event are definitely comfort enough.
Isla was actually known as 'Marge' before she was born... mainly because in her ultrasound scans it looked as if she had big hair like Marge Simpson! However, the latest picture does luckily confirm that Isla not only has no big hair, but the hair she does have definitely doesn't have that familiar blue rinse look either! No doubt her hair will be longer when I finally do get to see her... although I really hope it doesn't change to blue over time!
Isla's earlier scan... which I swear is genuine!
Fortunately, the baby's surname will be that of the father... 'Wilson'... otherwise the poor child would be stuck with the name of 'Isla White'. (Note: For the benefit of non-Brits reading this, the 'Isle of Wight' is a famous vacation island off the sound coast of England!)
Thank you Anna! thank you Sarah! I'm so proud of you both for so many things... but especially for putting the smile on your homesick dad's face when he got up and checked his emails this morning!
I love you both... well ALL of you back in old Blighty actually!
Tony. :^{)}=-
