The Joy of Great Grandchildren


What a gorgeous expression on Finley-James' little face.

Can you tell he is absolutely delighted to have his very own little brother, after being a little brother himself to Mason for all his life.

Meet Marley-James our third great-grandson, born on 14th April and weighing in at 6lbs 6oz, that's a whole pound and an ounce lighter than Finley was when he arrived on 15th August 2023.  Finley only met his brother for the first time on Monday, as little Marley has been in the neonatal intensive care unit since his birth, all's well now though and he's finally home.

Two sons just twenty months apart, my grandson Liam and his fiancée Ellie are going to have their hands full for sure.

  1. Gorgeous photo. I always forget how tiny new babies are. The boys will have fun together as they grow.
    My oldest was just 6lb 3oz but soon caught up.

    1. They really will. Yes, a new baby always seems so tiny and I never remember how tiny. It's surprising how much difference a pound makes to a baby's weight. Both mine were just into the sevens, 7lb 2oz and 7lb 1.5oz

    1. Finley has been a joy since the day he was born, always a huge grin on his face and a twinkle in his eye, now there will be double happiness. They have aged me nicely, their big brother is seven this year. :-)

    1. Thanks. ❤️ He's always had such an expressive face. You can tell exactly what he's thinking ... I've no doubt it will get him in trouble when he's older. 😄
