Generations: a grandson called James

The pleasure of my first grandchild, baby James Ennis Kerr born on the 8th September. The next generation is here.

Nine weeks ago I flew to Wellington, New Zealand to be with Shawni and Craig, to help out a little and of course to meet James. So little and so precious.

If I was still doing my alphabet blog, it would have been J for Joy.

Since we have all gotten back, Jamie has been passed around his family and friends in Johannesburg, at Millstream and in Cape Town; and he takes it all in his stride, sometimes with a big smile but most often with a slightly quizzical look.

I love been Nan.

The new mantle sits easy and I am smiling as I remember a quote from a book Di gave me - "Being a grandparent is the reward for not having killed your own children."
James meeting friends and family.

Family times at Millstream and the pleasure it brings!

James's first Christmas. Still sleepy!
