Yesterday, we had the most wonderful, wonderful news imaginable ……
Tom and The Lovely Laura’s baby has been born and we have become Uncles ……it’s been
emotional at Castle Greysquirrel ……..
……. and we are not embarrassed or rufty tufty enough to admit that tears of a manly joy type nature have been shed ………… a baby ……how wonderful is that…… and makes our disappointment in England’s untimely ejection from the World Cup pale into insignificance, because we now have ………………… a new baby!
As soon as we heard we got out the small bottle of champagne we had bought especially for this glorious occasion, well it would have been rude not too.
So, our baby is a little girl called Iris, which is the most beautiful name we have ever heard and makes us sigh whenever we say it and she weighed in at 7lbs and 13ozs. Tom says all is well and that she has done her first poo, which had us all sighing all over again …..
a poo!
We think we are all a little bit besotted already and will be going to see her in real life later this afternoon …… when I am sure more manly tears will be shed, plus the counting of tiny fingers and toes, but hopefully not too many poos! Welcome to our little Iris …. our special, sweet, and cherished flower ……. we are going to be the best uncles ever, ever, ever!
