Last Wednesday was an evening of firsts for Hazel Nina!
First time she went to a restaurant (like mother, like daughter - four hands up)
First time she met her Uncle Michael and Aunt Estée -
Love at first sight
Makin' faces
First time she wore a dress
First time she wore boots (for five seconds)
Only a few more weeks and Hazel Nina will have a little cousin, Campbell Walker!!
This post made me smile. I am so happy for you. What a treasure is your little Hazel Nina. Your summers will never be the same. I can just see her running about the garden with you in tow.
ReplyDeleteI imagine her walking up the road to see us, and I melt.
DeleteShe's beautiful! Sweet baby girl.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy her - so glad she's out and about.
Mary
Thanks. We are all so very thankful - every minute.
DeleteSo sweet Nan. (Just a few more weeks for our 2nd as well)
ReplyDeleteIt will be fun sharing this!
DeleteWhat an adorable first dress! And the little boots seem a sensible choice of footwear for the kind of weather you are experiencing...
ReplyDeleteSweet pictures of a sweet girl. I think my favourite one out of this set is the one where she sleeps with a smile on her face on her father's chest. There is something very touching about that one.
She's already outgrown the boots. So wonderful. She's such a love.
DeleteNan, thank you for sharing these lovely photographs of your family. Babies bring immense joy in our lives.
ReplyDeleteShe is a miracle, and your words 'immense joy' are perfect, perfect.
DeleteOh, my! She is soooo beautiful! And you will be a grandmother two times over! How wonderful...I love being "Nana"!
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you that's how Hazel got her middle name? It goes back to when Margaret was little. Tom's mum wanted to be called "Nana" and Margaret said "Nina" - so the Nina is to honor her great grandmother. Needless to say, Tom's mother is thrilled.
DeleteSo much preciousness going on here :)
ReplyDeleteGreat word, and so true!
DeleteA memorable family evening - she's just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great night.
DeleteI love this post so much- I love the joy on everyone's faces. I can't wait to meet Miss Hazel Nina and give her a big cuddle. I also can't wait to meet the other guy that is coming soon- they are going to be besties for sure. We can sit together, holding them and talk about how beautiful they are, how smart they are, how perfect they are and then, when they start squawking, we can hand them back to their parents. :) xoxo
ReplyDeletePure delight. Nothing better.
DeleteWhat a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you.
DeleteHappiness all around!
ReplyDeleteAuntie and Uncle getting in some practice -- and looking really good at it! Such a happy time for all.
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice thing to say. It won't be long till Margaret and Matthew are also aunt and uncle. :<)
DeleteShe is just too too precious Nan!! And I think we might have those boots in our house. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteNow that she's outgrown them, I'm thinking we should get them in a bigger size. :<)
DeleteWhat a warm and beautiful family. I'm so glad you shared these pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you liked seeing them. Honestly I could post pics every day!
DeleteI smile
ReplyDeletewhile reading your post.
There is nothing like grandchildren
Mine are such a joy....
I know they are, and I'm always happy to read about them.
DeleteLovely! Glad to see her out and about. And beautifully dressed!
ReplyDeleteBaby clothes are SO much fun!
DeleteI started to say that the second photo is my favorite, but then I scrolled down and I changed my mind. They are ALL beautiful pictures. Such love and joy for your family! I am so, so happy for all of you. Life is good, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Please have Tom take some pictures of YOU with Miss Hazel Nina! We want to see you and your granddaughter together. :)
Thank you, thank you! Well, Margaret answered your wish with the fb posting. I'm just glad it was blurry. I've aged years over the past worrisome months.
DeleteNan, it's such a wonderful exciting time for your family! Nina is lovely. Can't wait to see her cousin when he arrives! xo
ReplyDeleteAm so pleased you still read my letters and stop by. I miss you!!
