Enough of the serious and sad stuff of late and about time my sense of humour was re-activated, actually it has never left me, but boy oh boy it was really activated today.
My sister Maggie May, her husband Harry and my niece and her two boys were invited to my humble abode to meet my daughter and her husband and my son and his fiance, plus my new and first grandson, Peter. Quite a house full. I was in the middle of a shave, with shaving cream all round my face, when the front door bell sounded once . . . . . then rapidly twice. I decided I would go and answer the door as I was because I knew it was Maggie because only she would ring like that twice in quick succession - impatient thing.
I decided to make the situation funny so I rapidly put on my Father Christmas hat, leaving the shaving cream on, just like this:
Hey! what a good job it was them - it could have been the vicar!
Anyway we all had a great day and when the other guests arrived we showed them the photographs.
I am pleased also to show off my new grandson, Peter, who is now 10 weeks old and LOVES his grandpa.
Here he is, I am so proud of him and hey! . . . . . . . I remember all the little techniques for getting him to calm down and rock him to sleep, after having a long, long talk in baby language. He was most interested in what I had to say! LOL
Isn't he lovely? . . . . . and the baby's not bad either!
Laughter is good medicine, Eddie. It sounds as if you enjoyed it to the fullest on this day with family. And Peter is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove the smile in your eyes, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight you must have been for dear Maggie!
Love your "bearded" look....absolutely.
You know that I think your Grandson is precious, precious, PRECIOUS!
Aren't Grands the most wonderful children in this world!
Congratulations to you. He is handsome!
Happy New Year to you, my friend.
Hugs,
Jackie

It wasn't me impatiently ringing the door!!!!! It was very funny though when you answered it and we saw you in Father Christmas mode.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to see you all and to be able to nurse baby Peter. He really does love you! You still have the knack!
He is gorgeous and a very good, laid back little baby!
Hoping you will find the coming New Year filled with good things for you and all the family.
Lots of Love,
Maggie x

ReplyDeleteYour shaving cream prank is hilarious! Good to see your humour returning, even though I know there are and will be many dark moments too.
Happy 2014 Eddie! Wishing you health, happiness and lots of laughs!
Hi Eddie! I was actually just checking out a few of your posts and had quick question. I was hoping you could email me back when you get the chance, thanks~

Sent you an email Emily inviting your question.
DeleteThat's a great photo of you with the shaving cream on your face. Do you mind awfully if I print a large copy of it to put in the garden next Spring? I have a lot of trouble keeping the pigeons off my peas, and your picture might just do the trick!
ReplyDelete(Joke, I haven't got a garden!)
By all means if you had a garden but it would frighten all lifeforms away!! LOL
Deleteho ho ho so cheery ho ho ho
ReplyDeleteSee, that is where you got your sense of humour from!! xx
ReplyDeleteNice meeting you at Betsy's and your place. I would have to be the chief knit there lol. Thanks for visiting my humble abode from your very impressive mansion ~Eddie
DeleteOh Eddie, a new grandchild! How wonderful for you. Congratulations Grandpa! He's a very handsome lad.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your wonderful sense of humor will rub off on Peter in the years to come-- no doubt about it.
Happy New Year, my friend. xo jj
He looks like a cheeky little boy Eddie, just like his grandad!

Hi Eddie ~ coming by from Betsy's latest post (Random Acts of Kindness) "Can we talk".... I so appreciated your comment and usually don't check out the numerous commenters Betsy has, your comment was right on.
