I just wanted to share the wonderful and exciting news with the lovely people on here, that me and my lady wife just became grandparents for the first time, at the grand old age of 56! :D

We have 2 sons and a daughter, and our eldest son and his beautiful wife had their first baby - a little girl, weighing 7 pounds, 9 ounces - on the morning of September 1st! :beer:

The past 5 or 6 days have been mayhem, as we have been running back and forth to see them all! Mum and dad and baby are all doing really well. :)

We're so excited! It's lovely to have a new baby in the family.

Thanks for reading this, if you got this far! :D

    Congratulations to the mum, just got the baby to be the oldest in her school year as opposed to the youngest - massive advantages there for years to come!
