We saw our eldest grandson and wife and four children last week. We don't see them very often because they live a distance away and both work, but what a delight. The two youngest great grandchildren are 20 months old but when arriving and going they were helping each other off and on with coats and jumpers. Then we saw a video where they were washing each others hair in the bath. Another video was when they were having their nappie changed the other would blow a rasberry on their belly button. What a delight they are.
 
hi folks..was baby sitting evie earlier and she nodded off on the sofa and their latest edition to the family ( 9 week old miniature poodle snowy) was asleep at the other end so i went into the kitchen to tidy up a bit..when i came back in snowy had moved from his end and cuddled up with evie:):)

It's one of our great grandchildren's fifth birthday today and it reminds me of mine in 1936 when my parents bought me a scooter with "wire spoked wheels". How posh I felt as everyone else had them with tin plate wheels. They had it from [I think] Halfords on High Street Erdington. If I remember right it was a few doors from the Undertakers [whatever their name was] opposite the Church
 
Nice memories, the undertakers was and still is Hazels, opposite the church , Halfords was a little way down towards six ways on the corner of York road and the High street.

Wish I could put photos on but havn't a clue even though it is explained to some extent in other places on the Forum.
We have had another addition to our family, another Great Grandchild, our sixth. This time a boy, Hurray!!!. Our youngest Grandson brought him down on Monday on his way to his brothers wedding, [they live in Blackpool, we in West Midlands] . We then went yesterday to our eldest grandson's wedding yesterday and saw all six of them. Had a wonderful day
 
Johnny, when you type your post click on 'Attach files' your pic file will appear, click on required pic then click 'open', your pic will appear on your post. Eric
 
Just tried to put one photo on of two grandsons and children at wedding but says file is too large for server to process. Any help to get it on would be appreciated
 
Assuming Windows in use on pc.
Right click on photo and "open with paint".
That will give you an option (towards left end of toolbar) to resize (I use 20). When you have resized hen I usually use "save as" so I still have the original. It should then post.
 
Thanks so much for that info Janet
Here are our two grandsons and wives along with children. Please excuse Ellie on the left but at the moment she puts her tongue out constantly. She is two with twin sister Nancy who Mom is holding. The other two are Maisie 7 and Poppy 5

Great photo. Lovely children and Ellie just adds character.
Glad you have now learned a new skill (reducing photo size).
