I am alive, well not that you noticed I had been quiet...

Things have certainly been happening here... have had a new grandaughter since I was last here... born on 25th December, 16 days late and not very well... c-section in a hurry, poor bub spent a week in the special care nursery having exchange transfusions, infusions of platelets and lots of antibiotics... she was a big 4130grams(9lb 2ozs) she is blonde and beautiful... is all good now though...but it sure has been busy here and the grandmother is rather exhausted... will post a couple of layouts of the precious little girl soon.
