The wait is over and new life....

Finally our new grandchild has safely arrived into the world. A very healthy and quite large baby boy named Wyatt Thomas. He weighed in at 9 lb 8 ounces or 4500 grams and is 55cm in length. Mum Kate, baby and dad Chris are all doing very well.  With baby arriving very late at night we travelled the next morning 3 1/2 hours for our first cuddles and to visit the new family.  DH Farmer of course milked first and with the help of our eldest daughter we managed to get away at a fairly early hour.


Baby Wyatt with very proud grandparents.




There isn't anything more special in life than the arrival of a new family member to love and watch grow up. Watching one of your own children become a parent for the first time is a memorable moment and a milestone in any parents life. Seeing our son care and cuddle and love this newborn and his darling wife Kate makes us sit back with pride. We even dare to think that we played some part in making this man such a loving and gentle father and husband.
So after two days away from the farm we have had to return home to get on with farm life. Today the silage has finally been cut ready for baling tomorrow afternoon and if the weather holds out there will be more to cut and bale next week. Cows have been milked, new calves have been born and as for me, well I have been keeping in touch with the new family and happily receiving photos of baby several times a day with the  hope to visit the new family again very soon.
