Last night Becky forwarded us three photographs entitled Pops, taken by Tess. They are of Poppy sleeping on her Pop’s chest. On waking she seems quite contented. Remaining asleep, so does Mat.
These low resolution images had been e-mailed twice; from Tess to Becky, and from Becky to me. They were consequently heavily pixellated. I chose to de-noise the images at the expense of definition. Naturally, a 6″ x 4″ print of the last one was required to be made for Grannie’s handbag.
I then updated ‘My Branch Of The Family Tree’ with an amended version of Judith’s chart.
Jackie cut the grass today, and Aaron completed his refurbishment of The Brick Path.
Among the new blooms is a cluster of white gladioli.
This evening we dined on pizza and Becky’s pasta bake followed by lemon, and jam, tarts. My choice of beverage was Ringwood’s Boondoggle; Jackie’s was Hoegaarden.
Ahhh, it’s amazing how tired the Dads get after this birthing lark, isn’t it? Your granddaughter is looking very bonny and very comfy snuggled up there with her Pop.
Thank you, Jenny
She looks very smart (if perhaps a little gassy). Thirty-five years from now, she’ll be Prime Minister. leader of the People’s Party. 🙂
Thanks Johnna
I was just kidding about the gassy part. I mean, all babies are gassy, so I figured it was a good guess. 🙂
I’m sure it is 🙂
Neither have the hair of a Mordred.
True. Thanks for the observation, Bruce
Nothing more wonderful than a contended baby, though your garden is looking wonderful 🙂
Thank you, Mary
Like a little genie bringing happiness to every heart, Poppy wakes with a look in her eye that says, “Who dares disturb my slumber?”
Thank you, Oscar
Despite the pixilation the photos are very special ones! I love the last one when her eyes are open and Pop slumbers on – ditto what Jenny said 😀
Thank you, Pauline
What I thought of was how wonderful it is to be a little girl and wake up hearing the strong heart beat of your father. One never feels quite that safe again. I remember falling asleep on the living room couch and Dad carrying me up the stairs to my bed. I would pretend to be asleep just to make the feeling last longer.
Thank you, Ginene. Wonderful memory.
Gassy? Goodness. She looks a perfectly contented baby taking it all in. Sweet and safe. And your garden is, of course beautiful…
Thanks, Lisa. Gassy was a joke
I figured, what with politics being mentioned 😉
Your little Poppy is beautiful. The garden is sure looking amazing too. So lush!
Thanks, Cynthia. We’ve had enough rain in the last fortnight to bring everything on
Poppy it is then ! Lovely. She’s so very teeny-tiny. I think she’ll really love the garden too, so many places to play hide-n-seek when she’s able. For now, time to enjoy the first moments in all their wonder. Cheers!
Thank you, Boomdee
Aw, sooo cute.
Thanks
OK Derrick. You joined up so you’d better get ready. What a soft touch showing photos of grandchildren I’ll see yours and raise you a two year old. http://wp.me/p5rgVm-BI
And seriously, doesn’t being a grandfather change the way you look at life!!!!!!
Thanks, John. Nice pics. I hope you like my comment.
Such lovely pictures! And such a beautiful child! Very moving.
