Thank God You’re Here

Finally we are grandparents! Us, grandparents can you believe it? You could have knocked us down with a feather when we first heard news of this momentous event.

During the late hours of Friday, 11 September, 2009 our son’s partner in life and sweetheart, Nicole, gave birth to a healthy baby girl, named Emmi Scarlett.

Coming in at just over 8lbs (3.6 kgs), I’m sure Emmi will be a handful for these first time parents who have been together for over seven years and who now live in the top end of Australia.

Although obviously extremely exhausted, Stephen and Nicole are ecstatic with the birth of their first child and both look forward to getting a well earned rest and time to recuperate from a marathon delivery.

Yes, the birth of their first child will change their lives forever, and, as we look forward to grandparent’s day activities with our first grandchild, perhaps we may be forgiven for spoiling Emmi rotten every time we set eyes upon this beautiful creature sent form heaven.

Nicole, Steve and Emmi, we love you very much and you will always be in our thoughts. To Emmi, “Thank God you’re here!”
