Lyn, get one of those video frames, you can load photos from your computer. I think the amount is almost limitless. We have 5 grandchildren and keeping up was difficult.
Enjoy!
 
I have just been told by a cousin that he and his wife they are to become grandparents in November. I have told them their lives are in for a seismic shift. I know ours did as they grew up I took them everywhere or perhaps they took me everywhere. Unfortunately they are 29 and 28 now, pity they could not be around 10/11 forever.

Life is full of coincidences. End July 1952 I started work in the offices at Fort Dunlop. End July 2022, my first granddaughter who started work with Greene King earlier this year travelling from Digbeth area to Burton or wherever required day by day, was given her own office......in the old base stores building at Fort Dunlop.
Also heard today my second grandchild got a 2/1 at Birmingham in business management, now job hunting
 
What a couple of stunners they are Lyn, you must be so proud of them.
Make the most of every minute with them, Daisy and Sonny are now 12 and 9 where did that time go.
